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!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
