Envious Moon and the Inspired Boy

I cant take credit for the best part about this post. I was lucky to have been romantic with someone who was always so passionate and inspired. He doesn't know that I am posting this but I thought it deserved to be displayed. He just sent this casually through a text one night after we hung out. 

"...Haven't you noticed every night we spend together is magical? Outside for a moment the wind stops blowing, the stars cease their twinkling and the moon tilts slightly, trying to get a glimpse of what's going on in the place where I'm with you. The moon looks at me with envy then turns back, he can't stand seeing you with me and especially he knows he's way too far to have you. The stars and wind notice the upset moon. The stars twinkle to cheer up the moon but he says your eyes twinkle with a stronger, more dazzling flame. The wind starts to whistle again and tries to cheer him up with happy tunes but he says the tune of your voice and words have a more enticing and vibrant melody. It all happens very quickly but I usually notice it, then I smirk at the moon, kiss you and let him be in his misery."

We weren't meant for each other but it makes me believe in love.

Back with updates and random things to say

So sorry I have not posted. Usually when I am in the mood to write on here I remember all the homework I have and then go get on Facebook. Since exams are around the corner and I have so much studying to do and two papers due in two days, this is the opportune time to return to the blogosphere or whatever they call it. 

There's lots of topics I want to speak on but for now I'll just give a general update on life. 
This second semester at the University of Michigan has been the best four months of my life. I didn't think I could love life in Ann Arbor more after my first semester but I was wrong. I have found the right balance of work and fun and I have made some amazing friends. I thank God for the opportunity to attend this school and come into contact with all the people I have met and learned from. I am the happiest I have ever been and am so grateful to those who have ever encouraged me in any way because there were times during the fall term when I thought I could never keep up with these UM smarty pants. Not many people from Flint have the chance to come here and I am trying my best to represent my city because even if I haven't called or texted enough, I love all my friends and family there. Although I have become extremely attached to Ann Arbor but I am so proud to be from the 810. I don't think there is an acquaintance of mine here who does not know my hometown ;)
Spring is upon us and this means I am going to have more time to express my thoughts and opinions, so those of you who read and care, here are some upcoming topics 

Anonymity on a big state school campus

UM advantages and disadvantages

Career aspirations and future plans 

Music 

Gender issues, male privilege, women's body image and self-perception
If there's any other topics you would like me to write about please don't hesitate to email me at jeller@umich.edu or comment below 

Thanks so much for reading,
