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.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
