I easily feel smothered and I hate it. The majority of the time I prefer to be alone. People complicate things and simply distract me from what I need to be doing. I don't have the time to achieve what I've set out to do and worry with other people all the time. I don't need to be, nor do I...

I'll explain why spring is the superior season. In the spring, the weather is lovely. It is no longer frigid, but it isn't scorching hot either. All of the icky ticks are out of sight due to winter freezes and the snakes are in their dens. Plants begin to bloom and the critters start...

I've only been to Scotland, which is absolutely gorgeous. The landscape is dreamy and the geology is super interesting. Since my family hails from Scotland, of course the culture interests me. If I were to pick my favorite country simply on things I know (geographyyy), I'd have to go with...

I saw white and gold, but if you use a software like Adobe Illustrator or Microsoft Paint, you can check the color values to see what the digital representation of the dress is. It's blue and brown in this case. Context matters with colors, so the hues around a given color can change the way we...

I think that creating Pokemon Snap for the new 3DS would be amazing. The 3D view would be pretty legit, especially when viewing the area. If there was a greater demand (like there was with Majora's Mask being remade), then maybe they would develop another game. With the word of gaming apps, it...

The food served on campus ranges from meh to amggg. The nice thing about a college campus is that you have the freedom to eat at pretty much any place you want. I can't afford to get a meal plan, so I mostly bring my own lunches in my super adorable bento box. Yeah, they're amazing.

The U.S. government considers GIS, cartography, and environmental studies as STEM! Plus maps and the environment are awesome.

I eat cereal more as a snack in the evenings if I'm waaay too busy with work. I love organic cinnamon crunch from Cascadian Farms with plain almond milk. It's not sweet, but the cinnamon is so good. Plus I get peace of mind knowing it is an organic product, which has less negative impacts on the...

I had a dream last night that as I was walking down the hall to the GIS lab when suddenly AFI! I was singing and dancing to Love Like Winter while they played. It was pretty cool. I'm guessing the reason is because it's supposed to snow today.. scratch that, it is snowing. Ugh.

I was always interested in the physical and social sciences in school. The best thing about college is that I've been able to explore these interests more. I'm studying for a B.S. in Environmental, Geographical, and Geological Sciences. While I'm keen on Geology, I'm absolutely in love with...

I really like watching birds, but I'm especially keen on raptors. I use my binoculars a lot when I hike and kayak, though sometimes the telescope does a better job when I see one perched in a tree near a field. It's really hard to pick a favorite, but I love the American Kestrel. I see them...

How retro am I? I'm so retro I own an RCA Studio II... in the box. Unfortunately it doesn't work. The earliest console I've played is an Atari 2600 (Space Invaders, Breakout, Combat, Centipede, etc).

Of course! I dance a lot in public. Every stop in traffic us an excuse to bust a move and make someone smile. I'm not super coordinated, which surprises some people that I can actually dance. When I'm super excited or happy, I dance a lot.. so basically I dance most of the time.

Early start/early finish. I'm not a morning person by any means, but I'd rather get everything I need done as soon as possible. It's nice to have the rest of the day, which is typically warmer, to be outside or spending time with my boyfriend (or both). I used to start work at 6:00AM, which was...

Surprisingly not! I don't have a crazy routine with my hair (no unnecessary damage for me!), so it can easily get a little wild. The reason why it is surprising is because I hiked 3 miles up a mountain and the wind was insane! I forgot a hair tie in my car, so the gods clearly favored my hair...

I bought a copy of Bill Laimbeer's Combat Basketball CIB for cheap. It's in fair condition, plus I paid next to nothing for it. Win-win. I also bought a Game Genie for the Genesis with the manual. It's worth a decent amount more than what I paid, so I'm pleased with that. Yesss. My preciousss...

My favorite bands aren't on anyone else's list. Boo. 1. Blind Guardian 2. Rise Against 3. Ensiferum 4. Within Temptation 5. AFI This list shuffles through a few bands. AFI is Sing the Sorrow and earlier. I looove Ed Sheeran, but he can't be included in such a list. Because. Yes.

I first started wearing makeup in middle school, but it was mainly raccoon eyes since I didn't understand how to eyeliner. Most days I don't wear makeup. My body does not handle a lot of makeup well (almost every brand of mascara I've ever tried destroys my eyes). I usually only wear a little...

Yes! ♡ I am way behind on the current generation because I'd rather play older titles. As expected, I spend much more time and money buying retro games than keeping up with the current generation. I play and collect from a wide variety of systems, though my recent interest is in acquiring games...

I honestly don't care if someone takes selfies. If it doesn't harm anyone, then it shouldn't matter. Special exception: selfies of/with people without their consent. We all deserve privacy, but culture also factors in here. It's simply a matter of respect. I've taken selfies. Why? Something...

My day has been so lulsy. I fell on the ice twice at 7:30AM.. so I was pretty sure my day was going to be really lousy. Nope! I had two midterms this morning (five total for this week) and I destroyed them. That's always a good feeling, but it gets better! I got my two writing assignments...

I own Toon Link & Yoshi. I really wanted Dedede, but I'm not willing to go crazy to buy them. I wouldn't be interested in the cards at all. I would be more willing to spend money on figurines with variants, mainly because I want the koopalings.

I graduate in May with a B.S. in Environmental, Geographical, and Geological Sciences. A week after graduation, I'll be interning with an EMA to research regional natural and technological hazards. I've applied to the University of South Carolina for graduate school, but if that doesn't work...

I've been crocheting since middle school. It's a hobby that really means a lot to me, considering I am the only great great granddaughter that knows how to crochet. Sprite art is my most recent artistic hobby. I've been doing it for ~2 years. I use perler beads to recreate or design my own...

I'm reading Full Fathom Five: Ocean Warming and a Father's Legacy by Gordon Chaplin. The book focuses on Chaplin's childhood with his father, Charles Chaplin, in the Bahamas. Charles Chaplin was an ichthyologist in the late '40s. The author helped his father conduct his research as a child...

I voted 'other.' I like a variety of scientific fields, but my favorite would have to be Geoscience. I'm studying, and bare with me here, Environmental, Geographical, and Geological Sciences at my university (it's ridiculously long, I get that, but it spells EGGS and that's cool). I'm looking...

The last game I played was Pokemon Yellow, but the last game I beat 100% was A Link to the Past. Both of them are the type of game that you can pick up and beat over and over without it ever really getting boring (at least for me). I find replay value to be characteristic of well made games, and...

I had a 3 hour job at Burger King. It was terrible. The reason it only lasted 3 hours was because after my mandatory 3 hour training, I was scheduled for hours I told the supervisor that I could not work because I had class. I had filled out my schedule twice, yet she still put me on the...

According to my mom, I still play with little kid toys. You see, I grew up playing a Sega Game Gear, The Little Mermaid on the Tiger Electronics handheld, and GigaPets. These little handheld games are something that I still really love, so if she sees me playing a Game Boy Color or a DS Lite...

I buy mostly used games because I don't buy games from the current generation. If I would purchase from the current generation, I would buy it new, no question. But when you collect retro game titles, you have to be packing some serious dough to be able to afford to buy games brand new, sealed...

The first time I actually had to parallel park was during my driving test. In my hometown, it really wasn't exactly something you had to do. If you had to, there are so few cars that actually park on the street that you could easily just pull up along the curb, which is what I just did...

This is going to be slightly ridiculous. My house is like a funny farm. Here we go.. 3 Golden Retrievers: Maya, Sonny, and Levi 2 Khaki Campbells: Daisy and Rosie 6 Rhode Island Reds 4 Ameraucanas

One of the biggest perks to taking AP classes is that you can get a lot of college-level work finished before college. Everyone wants to finish college on time or earlier, if possible. A lot of people don't even finish on time, so to be able to have AP credit (assuming you do well on the exam...

The Year of the Flood by Margaret Atwood. It's the second novel in her MaddAddam trilogy. It's sci-fi describing the near end to all humanity brought on by a desire to interfere with nature. If you like Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, you'll like this. It maintains the same theme of what "bad"...

I never straighten or curl my hair. If you see me with my hair done, it's because someone else made me do it, such as my sister for her wedding. My hair is towel- or air-dried only. When I decide to give my hair a bit more oomph, I get it a little wet and throw it up in a bun or in braids. I'm...

It varies per semester. In college, your homework may not be collected, so it's ultimately your decision whether or not you want to complete it. Most of the time, I did the assigned work. Sometimes it's just reading (which can be a pain if you're taking a literature class) or a course-pack. When...

I'll be attending for the first time this summer with my boyfriend. I'm trying not to get too excited, but I can't help it! It doesn't help that I have a lot of LoZ music already on my iPod. I'm starting to think I'm going to need to walk in their with a fat wallet, or I'll sorely regret not...

I like snacks with a high moisture content and that are a little sweet. Fruit and I are kind of BFFs. I'm not a fan of salty or dry snacks. I also tend to shy away from hot or room temperature snacks. I like it cold. Fruit is awesome because the texture varies so much that whatever mood you...

Alright, here it goes. my fear of needles my fear of chickens my hippie ways my clumsiness my dance moves

I'm not a morning person at all. I wish I could spend more time in my bed, but alas, I cannot. You see, my prime time is from afternoon to evening. So I sign up for morning classes so I have my free time in the afternoon and evenings, but then I don't want to go to bed early because I want to...

I adore dogs. Anyone who has known me for a while on this forum knows that. The only pet I've had constantly in my life growing up was a dog. Sure, I've had cats, rabbits, and parakeets.. but nothing compares to a dog. I can appreciate a cat, I would never even contemplate mistreating or...

For class I'm reading Neuromancer, but for leisure I'm re-reading The Hobbit for Tolkien Day. I seriously love The Hobbit, if only I could have a class on Tolkien... but a class on sci-fi is the next best thing.

I'd like to have a child some day, but not anytime soon. I would only want to have a single child because I want to be able to devote all of my time and energy into raising a child the best I possibly can and be able to financially support them in every single way I can to ensure a bright future...

My boyfriend and I were promised a loft apartment for the fall semester by my current landlord. We found out that the current students living there were moving out early, so we asked if we could move in early (it would give him more time to find students to rent the opening) because where he has...

It's a lot easier to skip a class in college, mostly because your professors really don't care. Last semester I was required to present a portfolio, which I was not super confident in initially, but then I decided that skipping a class to put more time and effort into perfecting my portfolio...

I'm not the most graceful person in the world, but I enjoy roughin' it. I've had plenty of injuries from ranging from hiking to grooming a heifer, but my most painful experience happened while I was cleaning the dishes. It's not even a good story, it's more or less a total facepalm moment. I...

I'm an introvert. All my life I've felt more comfortable in a tight-knit group as opposed to associating with a large body of people. I was incredibly shy as a child, but I've grown out of that. I've noticed sometimes when I talk to certain people I don't know for an extended period of time, I...

I woke up and got ready to go to see my doctor. I colored in a Scooby Doo coloring book while I waited. Then after being told some of the most depressing advice of my life: "You should probably avoid spicy foods," I set off for the hospital to do blood work. You know your day is going to be...

Where I live, the river is life. It has been ever since people first settled here, but it also comes with a price. We have had terrible floods in the past which caused a lot of damage to property and families alike. It always amazes me because if I could be on the river every day that the...

Professor Puppy Petter.. hoping to make about $60,000,000 my first year. But I guess if that doesn't work out, I could always use this college education for something productive. I'm studying Environmental Geoscience and focusing on soils and water resources. I've considered a lot of different...
