Blog Post #2

I really like the idea of “The Cure.”  I think that it was a risky and hard topic to write about.  The topic itself was very intriguing.  It was an eye opener because people start thinking about situations that had never occurred to them before.  What ran through my mind was “what would I do with all my time if I lived forever?”  I thought of all the things I wanted to accomplish during life and all the adventures I could partake in because I would have plenty of time for everything.   Of course, being the romantic girl I am, I also thought about the way you would live forever with the one you loved.

It took me by shock when marriage was looked at in a new light, but at the same time, it kind of made sense to me.  Personally, if I lived forever, I would be so bored with my life, no matter how many new things I tried, the people I met, and the opportunities available to me.  So, it makes sense to me that marriage would never be the same.

“The Cure” is such a thought provoking idea and allows for so many sides and opinions.  I think that it was a really great idea and honestly, I thought of so many more things about that topic than I thought it was.  It’s such a controversial idea and I think that’s what made the book interesting.

About Me

I am from Johns Creek, Georgia, which is about 30 minutes away from Atlanta. My major is Public Relations. I'm not really sure what I want to do with my major, but it sounds really interesting.

I chose USC because I love the campus and it isn't too far from home, but not too close either. Also, there are so many study abroad programs and since I love to travel and have been traveling since I was born, I figured it would be perfect for me. During my time here, I hope to study abroad in England, France, and Italy...and that's just the beginning of my list. I have already been to London and Paris, but I loved them so much that I want to go back. My favorite place is London. Although, I have only been there once, it is my dream to eventually live there. Also, I would like to do a summer semester in Denmark because that is where my family is and I love the culture there.

I have played sports pretty much my whole life. I started out with soccer, dabbled in gymnastics and swim, and then continued with soccer, tennis and volleyball. I ended up dropping soccer after 8th grade because I figured that three sports during my first year in college would be too much. After freshman year, I dropped tennis as well because I wanted to put all my focus into volleyball. It was really hard to drop tennis because my dad played in college, so it was kind of our bonding time.

I really hope that through this U101 class, I make good friends as well as learn more about the college, how to manage my time, and adjust to the changes from high school to college.
