What’s up everybody!
February has come and gone and with it baseball has returned. Because of that, February is always one of my favorite months. You all should cheer hard for those Atlanta Braves this year! My birthday is also in February. I was born on leap day so my birthday isn’t on the calendar most of the time. I do appreciate the consistency of it occurring every four years. To make this blog fellows-y and about more than baseball and my non-existent birthday, I am going to give a blurb about why each fellow is cool to be around.
Alec: He is consistent in the way that he cares for other people and that is admirable! Friendship with him is fun (even though he is from Kansas), and I want to be as caring and intentional as he is someday.
Ian: Ian is hilarious. There is a period there because there is no doubt about it. Ian is insightful and encouraging and very pleasant to be around. He is cool because of his depth, insight and sense of humor!
Neil: Neil is a jack-of-all-trades kinda guy. He will tell a good joke, or have a good conversation, and he will even pick me up when the Wolfpack aren’t playing so well (unless it comes at the hands of the Clemson Tigers). Needless to say, he has that dog in him along with the other fellow dudes of Raleigh.
Linsey: Linsey is super kind and wears cool clothes. Someday I wish to have a style that’s cool and being friends with Linsey is getting me there one slow step at a time. You rock!
Mallory: Mallory is thoughtful and a good friend to everyone. It’s refreshing to have people in your life that care about you and are easy to be around, and Mallory is one of those people.
Emily: “I just wanna rock.” Emily says this a lot, and it’s true to who she is. She rocks out and helps people around her rock out! All we wanna do is rock and roll and Emily helps the fellows do just that.
Madelyn: Madelyn has this crazy energy that pumps up the people around her. She is easy to excite and will 100% do something crazy and fun on a whim, and she pulls other people into that!
Derren: Derrren is so so so funny. She is super wise and knows a lot of stuff. I don’t know a lot of stuff so Derren helps me know more stuff. Even though she joined us from the trenches of Chapel Hill, Derren is always there for a light or serious conversation and it’s fun to be with her in that.
Janie: Janie has by far and away the best music taste of the group. That is one of the highest compliments I can give. I don’t know what I would do if there wasn’t another fan of the Strokes in the group. Janie is also so creative and artistic in everything she does.
I hope this was encouraging for all of the fellows that read it and the people who stumble along this post as well. It’s a blessing to be in an awesome program with some awesome people.
Until next time,
Matt
