collegeutopia: Introduction

This is my senior year and wow am I tired. I am a Biology Pre-Medicine major in a constant battle of trying to have a social life while also trying to maintain grades, volunteer and boost my resume. This might seem relatable to some, it might seem horrible to others, but either way I'm really just being a cry baby. It's really not that bad....most of the time. No matter what your major is, I'm sure you can all relate to my blog name, collegeutopia. This was my ~clever~ way of saying that online classes are the ideal college class for most busy students.

I haven't had much experience in blogging so try to hang in there while you choke down the words from my future class posts. When I told my roommate I had to finish my blog post before we could go to dinner she replied "YOU have a blog....you're kidding" really reassured me that I'd be good at this thing.

Anyways, one of the things I really love to do is to travel, whether its a short drive to Dallas or long flight out of the country. My favorite places to go always involved the beach, but my most memorable trip was when I traveled to Bolivia for a medical mission trip. Bolivia really stuck with me because I was able to interact with so many different people and learn about a new culture. One of my favorite parts about traveling is capturing the experience in photographs. Below are some of my favorite photos taken while I was in Bolivia. While I like capturing photos of nature, my favorite is photos of people. Looking at photos of nature and places never fully reminds me of the experience quite like seeing the emotions of the people. I love the photo of the three girls on the bottom because it reminds me off all the teenagers coming to the clinic, trying to talk to me through google translate and making fun of my poorly spoken Spanish.
