We are six college students coming from ENGL 105 in Greenlaw 103 where the walls are a grim gray and an 8 inch window shines light on only a few lucky students. It’s a required class where this blog is our major assignment, but we’re having fun working together and learning about the world wide web. If you stumble upon our blog while pretending to take notes or after you’ve finished an in class assignment, welcome. That’s what we’re here for. We’re talking about three fascinating topics this semester: natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities. We’re still learning about them all as well, so stay tuned, and stay loyal. We promise it will be more exciting than the class you tuned out of to search the web!
If you’ve found yourself searching the web for something to make your class go by quickly, you’ve come to the right place. I’m a freshman at UNC - Chapel Hill currently from Charlottesville, Virginia, though I consider myself a bit of a nomad. I spent about two weeks of my life living in North Carolina before we moved to London for a few years only to move back to the same neighborhood in North Carolina for a few more years. It was then that my family moved to Charlottesville, but I didn't spend much time there before I went to boarding school outside of DC. I usually leave at the beginning of June and return in time for school in August, so living out of suitcases is who I am. I’m so grateful for my parents allowing me to see the world, and because of this, I've seen a lot of cool places in my life including an elephant conservation camp in Thailand, the top of Mount Kilimanjaro, and I watched Europe go by on my left and Asia on my right as I sailed up the Bosphorus. It is these experiences that have given my perspectives a little flare, and these are my words.
I am currently enrolled as a student at UNC-Chapel Hill, and I am someone who values experience, rather than materials. I love to travel and be outdoors, and I find it hard to be in one place for too long. I am one of four children and am the only girl. Having grown up with three brothers, I am not afraid to speak my mind, but I also have learned to appreciate and respect the views of others, so comments are always encouraged! Not only is the intent of this blog to share information and perspectives on a variety of topics, but it also serves as an outlet for me to fuel my curious personality through researching and reporting, and I hope you can find something here that interests you as well!
I’m from Fayetteville, North Carolina, where I practiced my writing skills throughout my school years. I graduated from Pine Forest High School, and I am currently a freshman at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. My possible majors include Mathematics, Computer Science, and Psychology. My visions for the future involve traveling the world, well, the more interesting parts of it, and obtaining a prestigious position after I earn my degree. I enjoy spending time with friends, eating (but somehow gaining no weight at all), watching Netflix (Dexter is my current show), and playing videogames. Hopefully this blog is entertaining enough for you, so that you keep coming back to read our rants.
I’m from Charlotte, North Carolina and a freshman at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where I live in Granville Towers. Turns out UNC doesn’t offer a major in Netflix, so I am thinking about Psychology or Business instead. My favorite activities consist of watching Netflix, hanging out with friends, and online shopping. I’ve always aspired to be one of those people who has their life together, but it has never worked out for me. I’m sure many of you are in the same boat, so maybe we can figure out this crazy world together. I hope we can provide entertainment for you and maybe a little laughter when you’re bored in class or in the library. This is my first experience as a blogger, so I hope I don’t disappoint. Stay tuned - there are many more posts to come.
Currently residing in Charlotte North Carolina, I was born and raised in the Garden State of New Jersey. I attend the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where I plan to work towards becoming a dentist as a Biology major. I’m a very curious person, eager to learn about the world and the field of work in which I one day wish to be. In highschool, I played a defensive end but didn’t have the height or size to play division 1 football so I followed the academic path. Especially since I have grown up watching my parents struggle, I want to live a comfortable life. Even though I don’t get to play the sport I love much anymore, I continue to be a physically active and fit person who tries his best to stay healthy and eat the right food. I’m looking forward to being able to put my thoughts on different and unique subjects into this blog.
Thomas WinterI am a Freshman at UNC and my major is Biomedical Engineering. I am from Raleigh, NC and I have lived there all of my life. My favorite subjects are Math and Physics, but I also enjoy learning about Political Science and Chemistry. I enjoy running, reading fiction and classic books, spending time with friends, and watching TV. I want to eventually utilize my degree to design and program medical devices. I discovered an algorithm in Convergent Series in Calculus, and I want to continue to make discoveries in the medical field. I am also an Eagle Scout and have gained many life skills through my experiences in Scouting. In the summer I am a counselor at New Life Camp in Raleigh, and one of my passions is leading kids towards Christ.
