Why I'm Majoring In Forensic Science And Criminology
Cameron Hogan

Some guys and girls right now are thinking about which party to go to tomorrow night or how hard will they work to get one concert ticket that can easily be bought for 40 bucks somewhere else. But they continue to increase in recklessness and toxic behavior. Why? Oh because it's cool to be a bad boy now of course. When I was four and a half years old I was watching the news. Alone, I saw the first and second plane go into those towers. When I grew up, I realized it was a terrorist attack. My aunt (not disclosing her name) is working in the CIA; two of my relatives work in the Pentagon. My family has a history of international foreign counter terrorism agents. Now I know working in those fields won't be an episode of 24 with me as Jack Bauer. But protecting the United States from terrorists foreign and domestic runs in my family. The CIA, Pentagon, FEST, CTD, etc. They aren't gonna be easy to get into.

But I will. Not because of family. But because I have to. Because there are extremely bad people in this world that you people don't know anything about. My goal is to become a CIA Field Agent in WMD. Or to be in FEST (Forgin Emergency Support Team). Our world is being invaded by ideology and a consistent fear is taking over our lives. All I really want to do is to make the world a better place. Travel will do some good in the world and help people in foreign countries make sure people are safe and that they never let their guard down and that you will always strive to be better than who they were yesterday. I really just want to travel, get the bad guys and do some good in the world because I'd rather kill a murderer or rapist than have a chance to kill him and not, and let him get away and become free. Killing him was better than him being on the street and it would prevent him from doing that again to someone someone's wife, his daughter, someone's son, someone's husband, someone's brother, someone's uncle, someone's grandparent, someone's boss.

The world isn't what we thought it was. It is far more complex and it's far more unyielding to those who can shape it to their will because it'll save you if you're not careful. That is who I am. I want to do the best I can for this world, leave my mark. Maybe give me a gravestone with my name on it, that'd be cool, or maybe just throw my ashes on the top of the stairway to heaven in Hawaii, that'd be nice. Yeah I think that'd be my way.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
