Hectic Schedules and Freezing Weather... No Problem!

Peter Jordan Baxter (likes to be called Jordan), is a 19 year-old sophomore who hails from Mt Airy, Maryland. He went to South Carrol High School, but spent one year in Minnesota attending Lakeville South High School. Reason for being in Minnesota because his dad took a vice president poisition at a company and Jordan hopped along. But, things didn't work out and Jordan finished school at South Carrol High School playing football and baseball while he worked at Illiano's J&P Resteraunt.
Eventhough Frostburg was the only school he got accepted into, he made the most it by joining Alpha Theta Chi the first semester of his college career. They are a local and off-campus fraternity and enjoys being part of that brotherhood a lot. But he does say this about the brotherhood, "If I ever plan on leaving this frat, they would make me turn in my letters" he says, "but I can still associate and hangout with them whenever I want." Having a hectic business and administration doesn't faze him from having a good workout or going out with his friends. Even the weather doesn't faze Jordan from looking on the bright side of things. Last year was the first time he experienced a Frostburg blizzard and being snowed in his dorm at Gray Hall wasn't bad according to him. "I don't mind it snowing at all because we get off of school and thats fine by me" Jordan states. This year he is living with his AOX bothers in a house on Center Street and enjoys it a lot. Although he eats nothing but Ramen Noodles at home, he has a lovely meal plan to satisfy his hunger and thirst. His favorite place to eat on campus in Sub-Zero also called by Jordan and his friends, "Grub-Zero". He also likes going to the new Lane Center but says this, "I am dissappointed with the new renovations and nothing has changed besides the little room int he corner of Lane."
Jordan did share his opinion on the atmospere of the town of Frostburg though, He said, "I think it's funny because there are a mix of drunk college kids and the locals who live in Frostburg. To be honest I think they hate us [the locals]". When you get a chance, go to Urban Dictionary and look at the definition of Frostburg. It's hilarious," as he laughs though the comment.

Josh, you misspell eight words, including the name of Jordan's high school throughout. In two places you leave out necessary words. The poor sentence beginning "Reason for being" has no verb, among other problems. You include one comma splice. The correct term for fraternities such as Alpha Theta Chi is not "local and off-campus," but "unrecognized." Why not link to the Urban Dictionary entry?
