Timeflies

It seems crazy to think that I have already been home for over a month and that I am leaving in less than three weeks. I got my visa back, sent in my travel plans and booked my hostel in Fiji. Everything is basically ready to go.
It feels even weirder thinking that two years ago I was waiting to find out who my roommate would be for freshmen year at SMC. It feels like it was yesterday. By the end of June I was going out to get the mail as soon as it came and on one of the first days of July I finally got my letter. My advice to all the incoming first years would be to find your future roommate on Facebook once you get the letter/email. I friended my roommate before registration day and we were actually able to meet each other when we came up for registration. It made it a little less stressful on move in day since we had already met. Of course not all roommates go to the same registration day so in that case just chat on Facebook a little so you can get to know each other. Also be sure to figure out who is bringing what. That way you don't end up with two microwaves and no fridge. The best advice I can give you is to not stress out over the roommate situation. I have not met a single mean person at SMC and odds are that you will become good friends with your roommate.

Lastly, while I'm talking about time flying, I actually went to a Timeflies concert last night. If you haven't heard of them they do this thing called Timeflies Tuesday where they post a remake of a song on Youtube ever Tuesday. Under the Sea is one of my favorites. The show was a blast and it was the perfect night for a concert. I took some photos but they didn't come out well at all. Heres the best one which is still pretty bad:

The Milford Track!

Image
First day At 4:45 Sunday morning I started my journey back to the south island to hike the Milford Track . It is a four day hike through Fiordland National Park that ends at Milford Sound. I went there by myself since no one else really seemed by for the journey. By 2pm I was on the boat that takes the walkers to the start of the track. Only 40 people are allowed to hike independently per day. There is also a guided walk option but they stay at different lodges. Looking around the boat I noticed that most of the people hiking were couples. After taking some picture though I noticed that there were some people my age. There were two girls from Sweden that are taking a gap year between high school and college. I also met Tyler who is from St. Lewis. He graduated college and is traveling around for a year before settling down. We ended up hiking together the whole time and also hiked with the girls a lot of the time. The crew The first day was an easy 1 hour hike to the first hut

Macklemore and Sam

Image
Last night was our spring concert. This year we had Macklemore which is the biggest act we have gotten in years. Needless to say everyone was really excited for the show and we've all been looking forward to it ever since it was announced. Sadly, my good friend and suit mate Sam was diagnosed with leukemia last week and has to stay in the hospital for a month for treatment. The doctors are fairly confident that he will pull though but it's still a really crappy situation. We all knew that Sam was looking forward to the concert so one of his best friends, Justin, said we should try and get Macklemore to visit Sam in the hospital. I thought it was a long shot but figured we could give it a try. I messaged my friend who is on the programming committee and in charge of the concert to explain the situation and he passed on the message to Macklemore and his people. On Monday we visited Sam and he mentioned the concert so another one of Sam's friends, Dana, decided to take the cam

Firefly Spotlight: Top Five Most Anticipated

Image
There are tons of great bands playing Firefly this year covering a wide variety of genres. Every time I look at the lineup I seem to find an artist that I either forget was playing this year or didn't even know was on the lineup. I've been thinking a lot lately about who I'm most excited to see and I think I have narrowed it down to my top five (in no particular order since that was making it way too difficult). 1. The Weeknd- I've really been enjoying his Starboy album and he was on my list of people I wanted to try and get to see this year before the lineup was dropped. I think it's going to be a great high energy show. "False Alarm" is one of my favorite songs off his new album and I can't wait to dance like crazy when that song plays. 2. The Strumbellas - If you aren't familiar with The Strumbellas you should absolutely check them out. "Spirits" is a good place to start. They have a sound that is similar to The Lumineers and I th
