Dreams And Imaginations

Basically, I love space and the future.

You ever look up at night into a clear navy sky? Stars upon stars upon the backdrop of a never-ending abyss of darkness. We can only see so far into it, but just knowing that it continues forever excites me.

Now I don't know about you, but I would have loved to have existed in a time of "Star Wars", but without the wars. A time like "Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets",where humans and aliens of many forms travel the galaxies, instead of just traveling in cars on roads on our Mother Earth. A time like one of my favorite sci-fi futuristic films, "Passengers". To exist on the Starship Avalon going to colonize a new planet, I would be ecstatic!

If you ask me, there is no way that we are the only planet with life. There is no way that we are the only galaxy, universe, or solar system that is out there. To be able to interact with a new life form would be so fascinating! As long as it's a friendly encounter, that is.

I am enthralled by the idea of traveling galaxies and exploring different planets! I get sad when I realize that leisurely space travel will most likely not be a thing in my lifetime.

This is something that not many people know about me, but I am starting to express this side of me a bit more. I just recently started to think about why I am so interested in the future, space travel, and such things. I have concluded that I love the idea so much because it is so new.

It hasn't happened yet, and it can be written in various ways. The things we could learn about humans, life, the meaning of existence, and the space that surrounds us is infinite.

I know I am painting the happy, positive, Hollywood picture of what the future could look like, but why can't it be that way? I don't understand when people are skeptical of life forms beyond Earth. Now, this is all just my opinion, and it is something I enjoy to think about. I love getting into long conversations about these hypothetical things.

It is amazing as a human to have the capacity to imagine and dream about something as fleeting as the future. What thoughts and dreams do you revel in?

I have one last thing to say. If you haven't seen the end of the first "Men In Black"movie, then do so immediately! It will blow your mind!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
