First Post- Thursday nights... always a good time.

So since this is my first post let me start by introducing myself. My name is Dillon. I am 22 years old and I live in Philadelphia. I attend Drexel University at which I am a Business and Engineering major, a Resident Assistant, and a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity. These are all important facts to know so I don't have to start every entry with... "So I am an RA and last night someone duct taped someone's door closed." Not that that happened or anything. I just wanted to give a good example. Anyway, I wanted to lay some groundwork so I could just go for it...

Thursday Jan. 17th-
Thursday is probably my favorite day of the week. Not because the week is almost done, but because it is bowling night. Three years ago, two of my fraternity brothers and one of my brother's girlfriends (now fiancée) joined a bowling league in Mount Laurel, NJ. Mount Laurel is about a 30-minute drive outside of Philly so we switch driving each week. We initially joined this league because we wanted a night to just hangout and have a good time. Each week you pay a fee for the lanes and then some of the fee goes into the winnings pot. At the end of the year each team wins a certain amount of money. The better you do in the league the more money you get. There are about 30 teams in the league and we have finished in the middle of the pack the last 2 years. This year on the other hand we are doing extremely well and last quarter finished in 2nd place. Needless to say, the fun has turned to a competition and we are trying to win more money ($=good for college student).
But I digress; bowling is my stress relief for the week. It is important that everyone in college or working in the real world to find something they enjoy at which they can clear their head and have fun. Whether it be the gym, the outdoors, if you're like Ren McCormack and you like dancing in wearhouses (which is not a crime), or singing in the shower... make sure to find that one thing so you don't good too crazy.

I have recently seen the movie Once and I have had the song "Falling Slowly" stuck in my head for days. If you haven't heard it definitely check it out.

I don't know how to end my first entry... so why not stop in the middle of a ....
