"Cultivators of the earth are the most valuable citizens. They are the most vigorous, the most independent, the most virtuous, and they are tied to their country and wedded to its liberty and interests by the most lasting bands."

The Journey Continues


Rain, rain, rain, and more rain. We needed it, yes, but it came pouring as we were moving all of my stuff into my dorm room. Needless to say we, and everything I brought, got a little wet!

The move-in countdown clock has buzzed. I have officially been moved into Mizzou for about 14 hours. Right now even though it feels huge, I can tell there are opportunities to make campus smaller.

For example, I am enrolled into a FIG, or Freshman Interest Group. There are about 17 of us living here on the first floor, and we all have some sort of interest in agriculture. What’s nice is that we will have certain classes together, and so finding others to study with shouldn’t be too hard.

I feel like I am finally on my way in my journey as an ag journalist. I’ve been fortunate to have many experiences to help bring me here and to allow me the feeling that I am supposed to be here, but now it gets even more real. I’m excited about what the future has to offer and I'm very excited that the new leg of the journey begins right now.
