Greetings from UW-Marinette's New Blogger

Hello everyone who has decided to follow the blog thing for UW- Marinette! I'm Lukas Gareau, and I'll be doing my best to keep you entertained. I'll try to put up at least two blogs a week, so bear with me. 

For my first blog, I guess I'll just tell you some things about myself. Super exciting yeah, I know. So anywho, I'm from this super small town in Northeastern Wisconsin, about and hour and a half north of Marinette. Florence, WI, to be exact. Many of you may not know where that is, but yeah, that's where I grew up. 

Why did I choose to come to UW-Marinette? Well the thing where you go to UW-Marinette for two years, and after that you can transfer to any UW school sounded pretty cool to me. And it's close to home, which is probably a reason for many of the students here. But even with it being close to home for me, it's still far away enough to have to live in Marinette. To me, it's nice to escape home for a little bit. 

I live in student housing, and not even kidding, the apartments are pretty legit. I live with two of my brosephs from Florence, and the apartment works great. Not gonna lie though, living with someone new can be a shock. Especially if someone living with you is kind of lazy. Now it's not really a big deal, and it's not gonna cause any problems, but we're through over two months of the semester, and one of my roommates has only done the dishes three times. Yes. Me and my other roommate count. He also likes to leave cans, cups, bowls, etc. in various places throughout the week. My other roommate and I refer to this as the "collection."We've come to just be like whatever. But honestly, if you're someone that likes to have everything clean and organized, do some research on the person you plan on moving in with, or you could find yourself a month into the semester realizing you want to strangle your roommate. Well hopefully not that extreme, but you know what I'm saying.

Okay, well that seems like a decent length for my first blog. I'm out.

Yours truly,
Lukas Gareau #gschnapps
