I'm 20 years old and a student at Ole Miss, or The University of Mississippi. I major in Psychology with two minors in Political Science and History. No, I don't want to stay in Psychology. I hope to go to Law School at either UM Law or Mississippi College Law, just depending on where I am in my life at that moment. I want to work in Family Law.
I'm involved in a few things at Ole Miss. I was an Executive Board member in RHA for almost 2 years. I volunteer time for the OLHS (Oxford-Lafayette Humane Society), and would like to get involved in Habitat for Humanity. While I do "Grove" on almost every home game, I don't really like football.. at all. I don't understand what's going on, or how it makes any sense that it's enjoyable. Probably the biggest thing I do at Ole Miss is just try to be a good friend and have a good time with everyone.
I'm very interested in World Affairs: from our country to any country around the world, current affairs fully engage me. I hate religion with a passion and think it could be considered the single greatest downfall in society. I don't believe in any god (though the study of any god, gods or religion is rather interesting) or their ability to help people. I believe in people's ability to help people. For anyone that says, "humanity is inherently evil," I have several counter arguments for you. History is a very important topic to me, as is Sociology and Psychology. I think that through these three concentrations, people are able to understand just about everything. Through history we can see how people have acted, and will act again and again. We can see what it takes for societies to survive, change, or fail. Through sociology we can see how people behave when interacting with other people, and why. Through Psychology we can see the inner workings of a labyrinth that is the human psyche.
While I love America, I think we have some great changes to make. Gay Rights is certainly one of those issues, and it's something I hold dear to my heart. Our Declaration of Independence says, "all men are created equal... with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." We still haven't been able to meet this idea that was so important it made our Founding Fathers wage war on their homeland, England. After the Revolutionary War, the idea continued in our Pledge of Allegiance, that whosoever pledge their allegiance to this great country will have "liberty and justice..." However, we don't have that today. Not all people do have liberty and justice, because they are not considered equal in the eyes of their government.
So, these are the things that I will be discussing. Things at Ole Miss (or in Mississippi), current issues that stick out to me, such as Gay Rights and current politics and technology, and in general, anything to do with A Day in the Life of Me.
