Introduction

Hello Readers,

     I thought it would be helpful to start off with a little introduction about myself and why I am writing this blog. My name is Amanda and I am currently working toward a degree in Environmental Studies at Hamline University. I was born and raised here, in Minnesota, and love just about everything it has to offer. I try to spend as much time outside as possible and enjoy nature and outdoor activities no matter the season. I love being a student but am eager to finish my last year of school and move on to the next phase of my life.

     The creation of this blog was prompted by an online course I am taking this semester, Introduction to Sociological Thinking. My posts here will be in response to our weekly assignments, as well as my ponderings regarding aspects of life and how they relate to our class subject matter. My blog address and title were named with this theme of societal examination in mind. I hope you find it interesting and please feel free to comment and ask questions. I would love to hear your thoughts :)

Have a good Monday,
Amanda
