End of 2013.

It's been a while since I've made post. But now that I'm done with finals and back home for break, I've had some time to relax and settle down. There's quite a lot that happened over the past month; however, I'm probably going to have to break the topics into different posts. For those of you who don't know, I completed my first semester at McCombs. Classes were a bit more difficult than my previous...

A mistake I'll never make again

Today, I made a decision I will regret for the rest of my life. I promise that I will never make this mistake ever again. Now let me explain a sad truth. When you see a homeless person and a dog with them, who do you feel more pity and sympathy for? Most Americans will probably feel sorry for that poor, hungry dog. Now this is in my own opinion and from my own experiences. How disappointing is that...

Giving.

Today was a relaxing, blessed day. Both my classes this morning were cancelled due to lack of attendance. It probably had to do with the fact that the night before was halloween. However, I went to class without knowing any of this. I guess the good thing was that my professor gave extra credit to those who still showed up to class. Since I no longer had class, I had 2 hours of free time before going...

1st Semester of Sophmore Year

It's my second year at UT, my first time living off campus, and my first time being a business student. A lot has happened within the first month and a half. I guess I'll try to explain some things. Living off campus has been such a great experience. It feels good to be able to cook my own food; however, there are many times when I have no time to cook because of school work. My roommates are...

Conclusion of Summer 2013

So a lot has happened this summer, and I can't quite remember all of it to be honest. So I'll try to make it brief and mention the highlights of my summer. Cherokee Indian Mission Trip (Mid-June):            This was the first of the two mission trips this summer. Up until this part of summer, I wasn't very spiritually active. Yes, I did my QTs...

Summer 2013.

Summer has begun. Some are going to summer school while others are going on vacation. Many others are interning at companies or working part-time jobs. I, however, am doing none of these. I thought about taking summer school or working over the summer; then I wondered what my reasons were for these choices. The answers were quite simple: Summer school was to get me ahead of school even more (despite...

End of Freshman Year.

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I've been busy with finals for school. My first year of college is already over. I can't believe it. So many things have happened, and yet, I can't remember much of it. This led to me thinking about how thankful I am about all that has happened. I'm thankful for: Being able to afford and attend a university. Having a smooth transition into college life. Finding...

Homeless People

A few days ago, on Friday, I saw another homeless man next to the Chipotle I always visit. Yes, it was the same location as my previous post. However, this was a younger looking man that I've never seen. Still left with some "buy one get one free" burrito coupons (my last one), I asked the guy if I could get him some food; he looked so surprised and happy at my offer, and of course, accepted. So...

A Selfish Society

Yesterday, a shocking event happened to me. It was, at first, a normal school day with all the same routines and schedule. However, I decided to go grab some dinner off campus (Chipotle). I noticed a homeless man sitting next to the restaurant and asked him if I could get him some food, since I had a buy one get one free burrito coupon. Instead, he just asked for a coca cola so I agreed to buy him...

Eternality

If you think about it, nothing in this world is actually eternal for us. I want to specifically focus on happiness. Everyone wants to be happy, and there is nothing wrong with that. But think about it, nothing on earth can make you eternally happy. Why do people always buy new toys, gadgets, cars, shoes, clothes, etc.? Why do people like getting high or drunk all the time? Why do people always...

Opportunities in Life

This morning, I read a person's status update (on facebook) that asked whether he/she should go to class because it was raining and cold outside. Of course, many other friends and students commented "not to go and skip class". However, I tried to encourage him/her to go. Why? Because I believe we shouldn't waste the opportunities one is given in life. Please read on if you're interested or agree...

Introduction. Hi. My name is Justin Ha, and I'm currently a freshman in college. For those of you who end up reading this, I am making this blog for my own purposes: to keep myself spiritually accountable and read back on my past from time to time. If you do end up following my life journey, I hope that I will be of some encouragement as I try to live my life as a Christian.  Many people...
