Something about the Author

Hi everyone,

I hope my blog finds you all in high spirits. So aside from my first blog and my introduction, what do you really know about me?

I figure if your going to be reading my blog, you should all get to know me. As you probably already know I am Patrick Creegan and I am a sophomore finance major here at school. I applied to Siena by using their fast forward application and found out about my acceptance in early November of my senior year. I was accepted to numerous schools but I just knew Siena was for me. I love it all, from the picturesque landscape of the campus to how every student holds the door for one another. I just felt that sense of community that I was looking for.

My favorite movie is the Godfather. And in the Godfather, Don Corleone says, "Do you spend time with your family? Good, because a man who doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man." I have always considered myself as a family man and as you may have guessed, freshman year I became very homesick. I made three awesome friends freshman year who I consider brothers. I'll never forget this one night we had together. We were all homesick and just wanted to be home. We all sat on the floor of my room and ate ice cream out of the carton and just talked about home. Those three friends are now brothers and my current roommates.

I was so nervous about moving into college and about making friends. But why do we go to college? Aside from advancing education, we go for a new beginning, a fresh start. We begin again. My new beginning has gone even better than I could possibly fathom.

And I know wherever your road leads you, you will find the same.

Until next week and to all of your success,

Patrick
