Cousin's Graduation! (Day 13 - 5.26.12)

Just a few pictures from Matt's college graduation party that I couldn't put in the vlog.

Matt and his awesome graduation cake!

Lovely sunset post party... don't mind the power lines. 

If you haven't seen the vlog from this day, then you missed the party! Click here for the video!

Who am I?

Hello interwebs! I thought I might take this first post to explain what you're reading and why you should continue.

So, my name is Kenyon Gladu, and I am apart of the Virginia Tech Class of 2016, majoring in Meteorology and minoring in Geography. I have a vlog series on YouTube where I vlog (video blog) my daily life as I begin the transition from high school to college life and beyond (link in the left sidebar). The whole purpose of this is not only for your cheap entertainment, but also to hopefully give younger teenagers and kids some insight on college life; to show them what it's really like. If bigger kids (a.k.a. adults) enjoy the vlogs, too, then that's even better (they'll probably enjoy watching my mistakes along the way). I'm also doing these vlogs for my own personal benefit so that in the future, I can look back and relive my past. I'm also doing this blog so I can talk about smaller things or anything that doesn't make it into the vlog.

Anyways, enough of the boring stuff. So here is a little bit more about me.
