Hello readers.
For those of you who don't know, My name is Alex. I am currently a freshman at FGCU. If you don't know what that stands for, you should probably look it up....
Anyway, to address my past readers, the ones who followed my old blog, I'd like to thank you for your support by reading, and thank you for following me to my new blog. Which is this one...
And to my new readers... WELCOME! This is my new blog to proceed my old blog from high school. If you'd like to read it, here's the link...

People say that it's worth the read. I think you should check it out. But only if you want... No pressure... What? you want that link again? Oh here it is!

Anyway...
So here I am, a freshy-mc-freshenstein at FGCU. I hope I don't screw up... I am the last person in my immediate family to go to college...
Oh right! I need to explain a little bit about myself for the new readers who are wondering who the hell I am.
I've got three older sisters. They graduated from some other Universities in this state I'm in. They're basically the smartest people I know. I go into better detail about myself in my old blog... What's that? You lost the link already?? Alright I guess I'll give it to you again...

Don't lose this one.Sorry it's not an actual clicky link. The blog is being stupid. Hopefully I'll fix that soon...
Anyway...
I named this blog "The Engineering Eagle" because my goal is to become an environmental engineer here at FGCU; and for those of you who don't know, the mascot at FGCU is Azul the Eagle. So I figured this name was suitable.
I've decided to do a little but more with the design of my blog. My old one was a bit generic, so I figured new chapter, new and better design. The way it looks now (now being the time I posted this) will probably get changed at some point. It's a work in progress. If any of you want to give me feedback about the way it looks, good or bad, will be accepted and taken into consideration. And if you have any sort of comment or question or feedback, or if you just want to say "hi," that'd be fine too.
We don't turn down constructive criticism here.
So I guess I ought to talk about my first day here at college. I got here, signed in, unpacked my stuff, got some food, bought some extra stuff I needed, brought them back to my dorm room, and then started partying.
A large social gathering was going on right outside of my building, where all of the freshmen were sitting there drinking soda and talking. I really hope the parties are better than that at this school...
It was extremely depressing. There was no point. It was 83 degrees outside with about 400% humidity. It was like being in a sauna. Surrounded by 300 people. All drinking soda. Listening to music blasted at about 3,000 decibels. Then some cool people, and I decided to wander around the dorms for about 3 hours in order to find something to do.
Even though we didn't really do much of anything, the adventure was worth it in the end.
The adventures... that's what I hope the next four years of my live is going to be about.
I know school is important. I plan on working my ass off, but any good adventure, whether it be to Amsterdam, Tallahassee, or to Biscayne Hall, is worth it. Life is just s series of adventures. One right after the other. Some of them really suck, but some of them totally rock. My adventure has just begun. I plan on making it the best one I've ever had.
