November 18th Was the Day I Was Born

Whaddup, Whaddup, Whaddup Ma Aggies?!
Its Ya Boy, Ya Kinfolk, Ya Cousin: TJ Pratt
And I'm coming at chu with another post!

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!!!
I am so stoked! I look at my birthday as a day where I get receive love. Ultimately thats all I really want on my birthday is for people to be genuine and to give me the same love that I give them the other 364 days. Honestly,its been tough trying to keep up in classes, maintaining a job, a social life, and making sure I see the back of my eyelids long enough. 


Random Fact: Did you know that the average human blinks 23040 times a day? 

On the day that you were born you begin to wonder and reflect on your own life. Am I doing well in school? Are my folks proud of me? am I chasing my dreams? I honestly feel that in life as well as in college, you never truly find out, but it's the journey of trying to find out that makes life worth living for.


Honestly how many people you know come from Harlem, New York to Utah State not on an Athletic scholarship. I am not, an engineer, nor am I a huntsman scholar, and agriculture or horticulture frustrates me. So why am I here? I am not sure because I am still learning bits and pieces of it but if there is one thing that I am certain of it's that this experience at Utah State will be what chaps me for the rest of my life and I am ready for it. To all my High School Seniors who don't know what to expect in the next few weeks, months, or years I challenge you to ask yourself like Robert Frost did in his poem:

"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference." - Robert Frost

Think about it. Many of you may have a chance here to make a great step into the rest of your lives by choosing to go to college and also in choosing Utah State because you can't get a better education for the same price. Utah State Hey Aggies all the Way!!! Until Next time!

Aggie Out!

4th QUARTER LIVING & ELECTION DAY

Whaddup, Whaddup, Whaddup My Aggies!
It's Ya Nephew, Ya Aggie-Man, Ya Shorty TJ Pratt
And I'm coming at chu with another post!!!

First off can I just say how edited I am that it is my Birthday month?!!! S/O to all my Scorpios!!! On a serious note today is Election day! I remember the first and last time I went to vote and it was last year. It felt so cool having a choice to vote for the leaders of our great country. So I say that to encourage all of you to keep that in mind this Election day. Even though it's not a Presidential year, take the time to research your candidates and see which ones you want to vote for. The reason is because not all changes happen on a Nationwide level but also on a local level and those changes usually have more of an impact on you in a more direct way then a government shutdown...

Also, S/O to all my High School Seniors taking the SAT or ACT in the next week! Good luck and don't forget the deadlines for Utah State because you don't want to miss out on a scholarship, tour, or a chance to be an Aggie!!! So as Fall takes her exit and Winter slowly starts to take on her shape. I encourage Y'all to let the winter season motivate you to achieve higher. Don't give up just keep on pushing foreword because if you think about it the Year 2013 is almost over and done with so lets shift into "4th Quarter Living" Yeah I am talking about 4th Quarter like in Basketball Games. No matter what may be going on in your life right now, you may have come into the 4th Quarter this month behind or even ahead in life, but now is the time to definite seize control of the momentum and win the game and the year! So keep your head up and realize that Life still goes on so do your best everyday!

Be Encouraged,
And Go Aggies!!
T.J. Out!
