My name is Mike Byrnes, I am a freshman at
Nichols College, studying Finance and Sport Management. I am currently a commuter, and live in
Dudley, Massachusetts. I am looking for an apartment somewhere nearby. I really want an apartment because I want to be free to do whatever I want, whenever I want. If I had an apartment, I could play music whenever I want to, have friends over whenever I want to, and could really do whatever I want. I currently live at home, and drive a 2010
Nissan Sentra, it's in great condition, it's just like new!
I have been working at Market Basket in
Oxford, Massachusetts for three years now. I stock shelves and sometimes work overnight on weekends because it pays $18 per hour. I also worked at
Olympia Sports in
Webster, Massachusetts for about a year, as a sales associate. I currently am the boys basketball coach at Charlton Middle School. I also work for the
Central Mass Swarm AAU Program, as the 6th grade boys basketball coach. I am entering my second season with the Swarm after a successful fall season with the team. In my spare time I like to hangout with friends and play basketball.
I am looking forward to taking Digital Apps this semester, as I would like to increase my knowledge of various computer programs. Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint are all programs that are used in many businesses. If I can learn and understand these programs now, it will not only give me a leg up in school, but will give me an advantage in the workplace as well.

I went on the
ESPN website to find a
credible blog, when I discovered a blog on the
Los Angeles Lakers. I know that this blog is credible because it is on the ESPN website, and they provide links. The blog on the Lakers interests me because I am a die hard Lakers fan. The blog is about how the Lakers are struggling this year, but may have found the right formula to win games. It has been made clear that the problem is not coach Mike D'Antoni. If the Lakers share the ball on offense, have a burst of energy, and work together on defense, they can beat anybody.
Mike, I think being a commuter as a freshman must be really hard. Meeting people seems so much easier living at school than commuting. I enjoy being on campus, but getting an apartment is something that I may also do eventually. I would much rather be eating home cooked meals than the food at our dining hall! Apartment living would also provide more space than the dorms here at Nichols. I am really impressed that you have multiple jobs throughout the year but still have time to get all of your school work done. My cheering schedule calls for practice three times a week and with that I feel rushed to get all of my school work done on time. I don’t understand how you can be from Massachusetts and be such a huge Lakers fan. This is Boston Celtics territory! Did you grow up in Los Angeles and move here? Even so, since you live here you should be a Celtics fan!
ReplyDeleteRachel, I thought thst it would be tough to commute my freshman year, but it actually worked out really well. I am very outgoing and meet alot of people in class and all over campus. An apartment would be prime, hopefully I can get one ASAP!! I do work alot, but really enjoy coaching basketball. I love working with and teach little kids, it is very rewarding, I don't even look at it like work. Do you cheer for the school?? I was raised a Lakers fan! You can blame my parents for that one. I have always lived in Massachusetts, and always have and always will be a Lakers fan!
