Today I learned:

So the University that I am attending, is one of only two universities in the US that has a forensic research institute AKA body farm

And apparently the institute takes on student volunteers who are waiting to meet requirements for internships!

I could not be more ecstatic at this possibility

Day 03/100

finally finished the rough draft for my first English essay of the semester. Four hours well spent...now to rest my little fingers.

I also feel like doing the 100 days of productivity is going to make me more accountable for my homework.

Introduction

So I've seen a bunch of studyblr bloggers do introduction posts and I didn't really think to do one because...I'm pretty darn shy!

But here is goes anyways

About me:

I'm a freshman at community college

I'm 24 (I took off schooling to take care of my mom from age 19 to 21)

My major is anthropology (if you couldn't tell from my username)

I'm originally from Colorado but I'm currently living in San Diego, Ca

My goals this year:

Pass all my classes (obviously right?)

Do all my readings BEFORE class

Do all the extra credit!

Complete at least one honors class (just signed up for honors english)

Meet new people (did I mention I was shy?)

Learn a new language (currently learning Norwegian on duolingo)

Hobbies:

Writing stories whenever I get the spare time

Reading

Watching documentaries

My Cultural Anthropology Professor shared this with our class today, so I thought I would share with you guys.

We were talking about silent language today and how some gestures we (Americans) used may not be carried out in the same context in other countries.

Today I discovered there is an Einstein's Bros. Bagels in my university library!

Rocking out some Geology chapters with my avocado bagel and chai tea. Good way to spend time between classes

Have not posted in a while! My life got super chaotic, but I'm back at it!

First off, I hope everyone had a splendid holiday and a great new years!

I recently got my official grades from the Fall semester, and I'm pleased to say I passed both my honors classes!

And today I registered for my Spring 19 classes! Yay!

This semester I will be taking:

Introduction to Anthropology

Human Geography

Geology of Colorado

Art History: prehistoric to renaissance

Needles to say, I am excited!

I wish everyone luck this year!

I just wanted to make a post for anyone starting college/university at an older age.

I'm 24 and most of my classmates are fresh out of high school, which is great for them!

But I just wanted to say that it's never too late, for anyone. You can still work to improve your future even if you feel like a late starter.

Put yourself out there! Do it for you! Work towards your goals!

You got this!
