So you’re probably wondering what exactly this is that your reading. For those of you who only use the internet to check your facebook, download music, watch videos on youtube, and occasionally do research for school work, this is called a blog. So let me start this blog off by letting you know a little bit about myself.

My name is Keith Morgan, and I’m a first year student at OCC.  Over the next two years I plan on sharing my college experience with all of you through blogs, and videos. I really am no different than any other student here, other than the fact that I really enjoy writing. A few months ago I discussed the idea of the school adding a student generated blog with my English professor. At first, I thought the idea was going to get rejected like a geeky kid at recess. Well, that turned out not to be the case, and here I am today.

I went to a small school near Utica, New York, that most of you probably never heard of. I know this because even my computer is convinced that I am spelling my high school wrong. For those who are unfamiliar with the Utica area, the school is called Sauquoit Valley. I was your typical lazy high school student. I hung out with all the kids that loved to party, and I did the bare minimum to graduate. I thought high school was a complete joke, and my attendance record can speak for itself. After high school, I decided I would go to a community college near my hometown. How typical right?

Like some of you, I had no clue what career path I planned on pursuing. Hello, General Studies. Let’s just say that showing up to my placement test after a night of partying was not one of my best ideas of that summer. Due to my outstanding performance on my placement test, I was forced to take  non-credit Math and English. Funny story about non-credit classes, they’re not free and they don’t count as a single credit. A week into college at MVCC, and it felt like high school all over again. Needless to say, after that semester I decided to take a break from school until I could answer this question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?”
