Bottom left is my great uncle Buddy Jungmichael! He went on to be recruited by the NY Giants in 1942 but went on to play on the U.S. navy team in San Diego. Here is a photo of him playing cards in his dorm room, thanks @TexasLonghorns for providing me the photo.

Back to being a student, graduate edition!

[Chris Smith @EndingSolace]

Orientation is kicked off bye interim dean of @utgradschool Dr. Maria Juenger. She closed her speech with a reminder “we’re here for you.” Already feeling supported! 🤘🏻

Friend told me I seem to be doing really well and she can tell how happy I am. Greatest compliment.

[Chris Smith @EndingSolace]

#whatstartshere campaign launch time! Loving the energy on campus today.

[Chris Smith @EndingSolace]

This being happy thing is really quite the novelty. I hope I can remember how this feels for a long time.

My final piece of advice, unless you don't meet the qualifications, don't talk yourself out of applying because you think you won't get it. If you put in real effort and apply correctly, you have a real chance. I regret not applying to more. Good luck, everyone!

[Chris Smith @EndingSolace]

I've had the pleasure of reviewing #scholarship applications a few times now and would like to offer some advice based on my POV. They may be pretty basic but maybe someone can find them helpful.

[Chris Smith @EndingSolace]

6) In the same vein, avoid explaining something overly obvious. For example, explaining that UT is in Texas is a bit redundant. Try to find out what kind of audience reviews the scholarship apps. Is it an internal group familiar with your university or someone who has no idea?

@TOTMCoffee @htijerina If you want to try a new brand of coffee, I'd definitely recommend @TOTMCoffee. Profits today go towards charity so it's a double win! ☺️ #Thankmas

Got a small promotion at work yesterday! It feels nice to have my work acknowledged and appreciated. 😊
