Kiefer Kious 

Though my title may be misleading I do mean it feels good to be back home at Augie. I am grateful for the summer that I had because I got to spend it with the most important thing in my life... family. However with that being said it is great to be back on campus with my second family. As soon as i moved in on Tuesday I immediately began to see my fraternity brothers and great friends come and greet me. The little things matter to me and they are what drive my determination to become the best I can be and to observe the true potential that only I conceal. I have a long and very busy school year ahead of me but I know that everyone has my back and are here to help me whenever I need it. Home Sweet Home for sure!! I will post a picture of my family later today. 

I know I haven't posted in awhile but I'm sitting here at my desk just thinking to myself what I'm going to do. There is one week left of school and things are running through my head so fast. I am studying and focusing on my grades to finish the year strong but I cant stop thinking about family and friends. I have a lot of work to do in this last week and a half or so. Right now it just seems so impossible and all this weight is on my shoulders. I have always juggled so many things in my life and stress never really got to me. However, right now I am having second thoughts about some things and I just need to fight through it. I've never really had to think so much about some things in my life. Now I am at my desk in the middle of a Sunday night just writing a blog. I am confident everything will workout but for now I need to keep my head down and do everything in my power to get what I want and what I work for.

Kiefer talks about deciding to join a fraternity.

Couldn't be more excited to meet more people and get a feel for the different fraternities.

Love these guys don't know what I'd do without them. They could have told me not to smile though! 😳

Getting slammed with homework this next two weeks but I cant get out of the holiday laziness. Need to step it up starting today.

Break has been good but I cant wait to get back to campus and be with friends. Winter term is going to be a little harder of a term but I am focused and determined to make it the best I can. I'm so close to finishing all my prerequisites for an assistant athletic trainer position as well. Couple more volunteer hours and I'm on my way.   

Kiefer Kious is from rural Dwight, Ill., is the first in his family to attend a four-year college and intends to go on to medical school. He also plays on the men's golf team.

So far this term I have learned better time management and even better studying skills. I have a long road ahead of me in the medical field but I wouldn’t spend it any where else besides Augie.
