A little bit about me:

Hello everyone. My name is Arthur Bazaldua (my last name is Spanish). I am a transfer student this fall 2015 semester. I moved here from northern California from the beautiful town of Monterey. If you haven’t heard or have been to Monterey, i would really encourage you to visit it one day. You won’t regret it! I’m am currently working on my BS in Biology in hopes of doing some research and maybe even applying to medicine school one day. One thing you should know about me is my love for being out doors. A few things I loved about living in Monterey is the surroundings. I loved being next to the beach, minutes away from hills and mountains to hike and having both Big Sur and Santa Cruz both about 45 minutes away. Having the beach close by is one of the reasons I chose to transfer to CSUCI. I can’t live without the beach. I want wait to get back on a kayak. I’m most definitely an adventurous person but I do not limit my adventures locally. I have been fortunate enough to travel overseas. I have been to the city of love, Paris, up along the coast of France and even got a chance to see Big Ben in London, England. But my journey doesn’t stop there. I hope to add Italy and Spain to the list sometime soon. ¡Adiós!

Introduction

Hello,

My name is Michael Gonzalez and I am a transfer student from LA. I have lived in either LA or LA county all of my life until now and I am kind of excited to  be out of that traffic. I am a Psychology major hoping to be able to go to grad school and become a neurobiologist. If I am able to become a neurobiologist I am hoping to focus my research on various neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Multiple Sclerosis, and Parkinson’s. One of my main interests is anything about music I love DJing, going to music festivals, or just hanging around in my room blasting music. After I get my career going I would love be able to travel the world and visit places such as Dubai or Amsterdam. If money permits I would also love to be able to travel to other music festivals around the world such as Ultra in Miami or Tomorrowland in Belgium. Other interests include many things outdoorsy such as hiking, off-roading, snowboarding, and wake boarding. As I grew older I would love to be able to purchase an off-roading jeep and an RV so I can make impromptu camping trips.

Blog Numero Uno

Hey everyone, my name is David Ryland Pressly, although I strongly prefer to go by Ryland. So here are 200 hundred words about myself. I am twenty three years old, and I am an Aquarius. I think I fit the mold of being an Aquarius pretty well and enjoy reading about that kind of stuff. I really like cats, and will probably have like fifty and I’ll live alone in some cabin with all my cats. I like Chipotle and Netflix a lot. My cat (Po-Po) also likes Chipotle and Netflix alot. Coffee and Alcohol make up the other parts of my life, and I really like to dance and party. I’m pretty amazing at tennis and beer pong as well. I like to think I’m pretty talented at multiple things, and as you can tell I’m pretty full of myself. I try not to be, but I don’t try that hard. But, that said, I don’t take myself seriously at all ever so you probably shouldn’t either.

I’m an aspiring English Teacher and Writer. I want to help third world countries and other impoverished nations after I receive my degree. I feel like seeing what other people will go through will change my life. It will also help me teach my future students. I love volunteering, I have on multiple occasions and will continue to do so. Helping and serving people who go through rough patches is a passion.

So, that is all I have right now. I hope to meet and (possibly) have a beer with y’all because this world is full of so many incredible people. If you read this, thanks for listening to my messed up self, and have a fantastic day.

-Ryland

Hey guys!

My name is Melissa G. Holt. I grew up in the streets of Los Angeles and graduated from the California Academy of Math & Science. My experiences in high school were wonderful in many ways, but at a high school that emphasizes math & science, you truly discover if those fields are for you. My friends from high school are now in fields such as engineering and computer science, but I found that those traditional STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) career paths left something to be desired in me. I personally have a passion for other people and interpersonal interaction, and that conflicted with the majors that I initially chose to pursue. So after some struggles on the path to discovering myself, I found myself in an Introduction to Psychology course and I have never looked back.

I am now collecting degrees on my path to becoming a professor of psychology. I graduated from Bakersfield College in May of 2015 with my associate degree, so one down and two to go! In addition to living on campus, I work for Housing and Residential Education here at CI as both a desk assistant and a program assistant so you can usually find me in one of our villages! I am also on the general board for the Residence Hall Association, so come check out our events! If I’m not in class, I am finding a way to be involved on campus because to me an education is not truly complete if your studies are the only thing you can take from your college experience.

I am really looking forward to this year at CI and cannot wait to see what life throws at me next!

Until next time,

MGH, Professor in Training

Vietnamese Letters

We got to see real letters that US citizens, sent to President Johnson about what they thought of the Vietnam War.  The letters were written on 1966, the ones I got to see were mostly angry parents demanding to stop the war because the only thing that the war was accomplishing was killing their kids.

Personally, I have never liked any type of war so, my opinion was against the war like many other citizens were. War is death, from both sides and to me it’s insignificant. There’s many other solutions to problems than, forcing people to fight against one another and to kill.

These are some of the letters that I really liked

About Me

My name is Ronald(most call me Ron)Mincey.  I could tell you that I am your everyday average guy, getting by on this rock, whizzing around through space, but that would be far from the truth. I am an old-school nerd that still loves D&D, super hero’s and super villains, classically stupid B movies, and continuing the adventures of my plastic Bat Man.  On the other side of my quirky world is the guy that loves classic cars, punk rock music and having a few beers with my friends that I have had for more than thirty years. Somewhere in the middle of that I have been bar-tending for twenty-eight years, a avid golfer(with a single digit handicap), father of two and what most would say “the loving guy that would give the shirt off his back if you asked for it” kind of guy.

Most of the people that have met or known me for any length of time would classify my as a different kind of crazy, maybe that is why I chose this school, hmm. Not the kind of crazy that needs to be medicated and bound, but more the crazy that I never takes thing for how they appear.  I am always finding the other side to the story, and most of the time can come up with a theory that just isn’t thought of by most. As we adventure into “My Thoughts and Idea’s” blog, maybe it will become clearer on what I mean by crazy.  I am looking forward to being able to speak freely and have someone actually listen to my rants. Until then, have a great day, find something that makes you laugh out loud, and never lose your inner child.
