Ladies and Gentlemen: Welcome to “Simba Says.”

My name is J.C. Mendoza, and I am a 20-year old college student attending St. Johns University where I hope to get my degree in Advertising as well as business. Aside from a superior affinity for sarcasm, I am not much different from the rest of you guys which is actually a good thing since it makes me the perfect person to act as a representative of this “Generation Y” we all as undergraduate college students are grouped in.

I understand this very awkward yet stressful time period in our lives may be physically, mentally, and emotionally straining. When things get hard you could ask your parents for advice since they been through it, but lets face it, In the words of the all wise Fresh Prince, “Parents Just Don't Understand.”

Times have changed since the ancient days that our parents were our age, and though they may provide good insight, they’re advice may be slightly out dated, and that’s why we are here.

Simba, the King of the Pride Lands himself, are here to break it down for you and give you a daily dose of reality. From significant others, to friends, to classes, to parties, to midterms, allow “Simba Says” to help you through your semester, and provide you with the life advice you need to power through this stage in life.

Every week I will be breaking down something different yet relevant to most college students, and my colleague Simba will put his two cents in to sum it up and bring it home. So sit back, relax, & allow “Simba Says” to hold your hand as we move forward this semester.

Simba Says:

Ladies and gentlemen: I've been through the Circle Of Life, I have been to the elephant graveyard, I have been banished from my own Kingdom by my own flesh & blood. I have dealt with having to meet the expectations of my father, and filling in the shoes of the greatest King the Pride Lands have seen. I have found true love and true friendship in my lifetime. I have faced my greatest fears, and heroically triumphed. I have ruled the most beautiful Pride Lands in all of the world, and the sound track to my movie went Platinum ten times.

Now all I want to do is use my experiences in life to help you through you're every day issues. If you take a little time out every week and listen to what Simba Says, I promise to never steer you wrong.

Until next time...
