Spotted Ellie Goulding In New York City 9.14.12

This past Friday as I was on my way back to New Jersey from classes in New York City, I caught myself walking past UK pop singer Ellie Goulding. If you know me, then you would know I LOVE Ellie Goulding as an world renowned artist. I have always joked about running into celebrities in the Big Apple; but always doubt the chances. 

What Are Some Great Websites Where I Can Apply For College Scholarships?!

Hey everyone, I need a huge favor from those who can or know someone who can help me out. As we all know, college is not the most cheapest place to further an education. I'm recently enrolled in NYIT (New York Institute of Technology) and the tuition there is not so bad as I thought it would be, but beings though according to the government my mother makes "too much" money for me to qualify for financial assistance from the government "free aid". The school has did a big help by allowing me to qualify for their grant and transfer scholarship awards; The bad part is I'm once again taking out more loans. In the outcome, I'm not complaining because most of the awarded loan money including grants and transfer scholarship fund has covered most of my first semester tuition. There's just one thing i'm some thousand short. 

Now, back when I was at my community college, I had applied for scholarships that they provided and I was never awards any of them because they process just took too long and well I graduated just last week .With that being thrown out of the window, I am not trying to find good outstanding scholarship websites that will provide me the best way on getting a scholarship to help me pay the rest of my college tuition. I would like to hear from you guys what sites or sources you have used or heard other's talk about that gave him the best scholarships. If you know anything please help me out, I don't want to waste a year again on a scholarship website that never got back to me. If you wish to email me these websites please do JadoreLaTroy@Gmail.com. 

Thank You!!! 

Weekend Recap 5/25 - 5/27

Hey Everyone!!!

Friday 5/25

Friday, I broke day believe it or not! The day before Thursday, I woke up at 3 in the afternoon and didn't go back to bed until 6 Friday evening. You can guess that I was over my Friday. But I basically spent my morning traveling to New York City to register for classes at NYIT but found out the two ladies I needed to see weren't there. I then went up to UCC to purchase my last and final text book for a summer class that I'm taking. As soon as I got home, I cooked lunch then chilled a bit, next thing I noticed I woke up and it was 9pm. 

That Friday night started off Beyonce's opening night at Revel Resorts in Atlantic City, a string of 4 concert night events for Memorial Day Weekend. I was mad I couldn't afford tickets to go so I Twitter stalked hash tag #Beyonce #Revel to see pictures and videos fans were posting as they were enjoying their time. 

Here's a video of some of the songs Beyonce performed at Revel: 

  

oh' Saturday & Sunday this all I did :-)! 

I Got Accepted To NYIT & Bloomfield College!!!

After months of waiting I finally received the most exciting news ever!!! It first started when I got an email from NYIT (New York Institute of Technology) informing me that I indeed got into their school and I would be sent the acceptance letter/package in the mail shortly. Just ten minutes of receiving the email from NYIT, I was greeted by a big squared envelope at my door, it was from Bloomfield College.

My friend Kim (Morek that is) ecstatically rushed me to tear open the package to read what was inside. Being the extra person that I am, I wanted to snap pictures before I opened the envelope and post it on FaceBook and Instagram. It was then I tore the envelope apart and boom THE GOLDEN TICKET!
