Fun Facts About Me
personal

For my very first post on this site, I have decided to share a little bit about myself. A little bit about my interests and hobbies. My likes and dislikes. My hopes and dreams. Hello! My name is Madlyn Sprague and I am a freshman at Missouri State University. I am a Cell and Molecular Biology Major and I am also pursuing a chemistry major. I have been tossing around two different career ideas for a while now. These jobs would be an Anatomy college professor or going to med school and pursuing the title of Doctor. If I were to go to med-school, I would like to be an Allergist Immunologist specializing in asthma and allergy care. Though I am going for a degree in science, when I was younger, I went through many different career ideas for myself. One idea was to be a cook and own my own bakery or restaurant. I still love to cook and bake, however, I decided that wasn't going to be my career.

I am from Saint Joseph, Missouri, and I live with my mom, dad, and my older sister. I am a Christian and my faith is one of the things that truly defines who I am as a person. I am currently involved in the Missouri State Gospel Choir and Christian Campus House. Going on mission trips, serving the community, and spreading the word of God is a large part of my life.

One of my favorite hobbies is musical theatre! Throughout high school I have participate in many musicals and plays. These shows include Junie B. Jones, Big Fish, Dystopia: The Hungry Maze Game of Divergent Death, Anything Goes, Almost Maine, and The Drowsy Chaperone. Another hobby I have is Tennis! This is a sport that I enjoy playing as well as watching on TV. Other things that I enjoy to do is watch Netflix, drink tea, embroidery, and reading. My favorite TV shows include Gilmore Girls, Hart of Dixie, The Office, The Fosters, and New Girl. I am also a fan of the Bachelor franchise. My favorite book of all time is Little Women and I read it every year around Christmas time.

Traveling and visiting national parks is another activity I really enjoy. I hope one day to visit all the national parks in the US and Canada along with white water rafting in as many rivers as possible. As you can probably tell already, I have a lot of hobbies and interests. I am very excited for sharing all of my experiences and opinions on this site through my future posts!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
