Welcome, New Bloggers!
If you don't like this song, we can't be friends. OK, so....Office of Admissions people, please don't go crazy on me for posting a song that may or may not be about moonshine production. If you knew where I came from, you would understand. But, in all seriousness, this is an AMAZING song. It's a country-rock blend...the opening notes give me chills!
Moving on...I would like to say "Welcome" to the seven new bloggers! We are really excited to have you all on board. You all represent a very diverse group of people, and that is great for our cause: to represent the University of Tennessee and give prospective students an idea of what to expect if/when they come here. And, of course...a little pitchin' and reppin' never hurts (Go CASNR!).
Since you all have been blogging like fiends (it's motivation for me, really) and giving introductions, I figured I would give a little introduction myself. Here goes:
Hey there! My name is Elizabeth, I'm 19, and a sophomore majoring in Animal Science with a concentration in Pre-Veterinary Medicine. That's a majorly fancy way of saying that I want to go to vet school one day--most people don't realize how competitive it is! Oh, and I'm minoring in Wildlife and Fisheries Science because that sounded fun. Haha...that's part of the reason, but I LOVE the Great Smoky Mountains (Nate--I could make an inside joke, but I'm not going to because I love you) and want to learn more about the creatures and living things within the park and world as a whole. I own a horse, Boone, and he is total momma's boy. I board him at a barn in Knoxville, and ride about 3-4 times a week. It's really hard for me to stay inside all the time, and Boone gives me the ability to play outside and get some exercise. I love to travel and read. Learning really is fun for me--like my little mini bio on the top left says....I could spend all day in my farm animal anatomy lecture! My boyfriend, Caleb, loves the outdoors as much as I do, and we like to fish and hike. I have an amazing family, and I love Tennessee (namely, east TN!). I did grow up in this area, but whenever I leave for an extended amount of time--I'm ready to get back to my mountains and orange pride! I'm here to blog about UT, and also the College of Agricultural Science and Natural Resources (CASNR). If you have any questions, please comment on a blog! I will get back to you ASAP. So, to summarize: If you see me walking around campus (I'm tall and sort of hard to miss), you are allowed/encouraged to smile (because I WILL smile back) and ask me about my horse, CASNR, east TN, etc.
I am really looking forward to reading all the new blogs, and getting more feedback from readers. To the new bloggers: I hope you find blogging as fulfilling as I do. I really enjoy chronicling my UT experience.
The picture at the top is of me and my friend, Lawrence at our sheep lab for an Animal Science class. The Animal Science program is very hands-on, we work with animals in every class.
Till next time, readers!

Hey! I'm one of the new bloggers, and I'm super excited to be able to participate in this program. I have no idea what kind of effect focusing on mostly gay issues is gonna have, but I guess we'll see. If you have any tips or suggestions (things I might want to avoid talking about and such) please let me know. Thanks!
