The Coolest Classes EVER (hopefully)

WELL. I think I have all my classes nailed down and let me just say I am SO READY FOR CLASS TO START!!! Here is the best freshman classes ever: (that will probably do absolutely NOTHING for my degree or will change my entire life plan so that I can become a religious studies professor AKA the only job I flip flop state department with in my head) BOOK OF MORMON DOCTRINE: yeah I have to take a religion class... figured it might as well be one that was also kind of a mission prep class even though they don't offer any actual mission preps. HISTORY OF CIVILIZATION TO 1500: dope history class that might put me on par with Blake and Josh's master historian skills... I can at least try.  INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS: Possibly the dream, FSO State Department style but I figured that I should probably take an international relations class before I commit to majoring in it. Also we have our first reading assignment and it's by Kant so we love that.  INTERCULTURAL PEACEBUILDING: An...

A List of Crazy People I Have Met so Far

The title should say it all...      We'll we made it to Hawaii and it is SO HOT and HUMID here. Hopefully I adjust but then again hopefully it just cools down a little bit.      Most of the people I've met here are incredibly nice, quick to smile, and eager to offer help.

He told the poor guy to 'go back to India'... yeah the worker was definitely not Indian. But then again the Crazy Guy had an accent and wasn't from the States (or native Hawaiian) either so I'm not really sure why he thought he had the authority to tell anyone to go anywhere. Strangest part was that crazy guy seemed pretty lucid, like it didn't seem like he was drunk or on any drugs, just ...

Teen Movie Dreams and Realistic(ish) College Goals

     This is the first post, hopefully in many but more than likely like four or five before I forget about and never look at this blog again.      I guess only time will actually be able to tell though, so here's  to finding this in ten years and wondering what the heck I was thinking at eighteen years old. :)      Today is August 22, 2019 in a few short days I will be moving to Hawaii to attend Brigham Young University Hawaii... what the heck how crazy is that??? I'm literally moving to Hawaii and I'm actually starting university.      I don't think I ever expected all of this to come so... casually. For some reason I thought that when it was time to graduate high school go to college yada yadah yada that it would feel more like a coming of age moment like teen movie style. There would be a super cut montage of my senior year, big graduation, then finally going to college. But it just kind of crept up and now all of ...
