yayyy first post!

Ok, so I finally decided to start keeping up with this blog. I have to give credit to my friend Desiré though. She started hers and it gave me that final push I needed to start mine. And here I am: Nicholas Gunter, a 4th year college student finishing up a double major in American Studies & Government. What IS American Studies? Quite the eclectic major, really. It is interdisciplinary meaning you can take classes across all fields of study as the classes relate to your focus, mine being race and ethnicity. And since my other major is government I have multiple classes that crossover between the two majors.
Like I said in my "about me", I really do despise spending any amount of time blabbing on and on about myself. Sooo, I am going to just jump right into some of my thoughts about starting this blog and sort of my vision for how I want to use it. Originally, I wanted to write about my experiences of being gay and single in my last year of college. A kind of sharing of emotions and experiences that go along with being gay and trying to figure out how to have a stable, gay relationship in a college setting. I had grand ideas about poking fun (innocent fun) at the straight scene at UVA and how they utterly fail at finding meaningful companionship. But then again the gay scene is really no better! I could go on and on about the trials and tribulations we Wahoos experience while trying to date one another.
One thing to note is that I am not at all bitter about this. I find people quite amusing and very much enjoy all sorts of personalities. In the same vein, I also enjoy people watching and am one of those people that notices and takes in more than most people probably realize. Also, I promise I am not some creep-freak and stalker that stands around and watches people! I just mean that I am very perceptive and I can read people fairly well. Anyway, I guess what I AM saying is that I am amused rather than disappointed by the dating scene here. And as fun as it would be to share my observations as a single gay guy at UVA, I now have a boyfriend! Yes, I did find that stable, gay relationship at UVA! (so, it must not be all that bad, right?) His name is Jon and we are in our "too cute for words" stage right now =). And there will be more to come about that, I am sure! So, I figured I would make this blog about any and all of my observations, both funny and serious. I hope people will enjoy it! I will try to post again later tonight, especially if something funny happens! I hope to reveal more and more about myself and my friends as I go along!
