Old

I tell you what, it is WEIRD to be a junior! Why? Well, during my freshman and sophomore years, I was still in the process of finding my niche. Everything seemed new. I would bounce from activity to activity and explore anything and everything that seemed interesting to me. Now that I have aged a bit, (ehem) I have settled down a bit to devote my time to things that I love and am passionate about. Yes, agriculture happens to be one of them.

So the real question is, are there any more surprises during your third year of college? Crazy teachers= check, postponed exam=check, harder-class-than-I-ever-imagined=check, midnight extravaganzas=check, nonstressful exam-week=check... etc. The list could go on and on. I'm not gonna lie, the past couple of years have been filled with every kind of adventure and surprise imaginable. Bottom line is, life had a little bit of a challenge when I asked whether it had any more surprises in store for me.

Here are a few things that have surprised during the past couple of days:

-a cookie can be an excellent motivator when you have to walk a mile and climb three flights of stairs. The joy of eating it right after you sit down is unreal.

-even people who are in their third year of college still show up for the wrong class sometimes (and happen to look like an idiot when they figure out their mistake)... ehem

-some teachers are so excited about teaching that they use the word "outstanding" 22 times in a single class

-flip flops will never go out of style

-be careful, guys who grow beards over the summer can be harder to recognize than you might think

-Golf-management majors have to take some of the most failed classes on campus aka accounting 201 and 202

-75% of honors students who are taking law 322 really like water sports

Thats all for today. Don't forget... "It may be little, it may be big, but surprises happen when you least expect it. Take what life gives you...delight in it and enjoy it".

Live this way and you will never get old.
