I have been preparing to hike this dang trail for over a year now, and even after a year of planning, researching, and dreaming, I still feel just as excited, if not more, as I did when I first decided I wanted to attempt it in October of last year. I switched my major to social sciences last year when I realized I didn’t want to be a teacher for the rest of my life, and when I found out that this meant I could graduate a semester earlier than planned (December 2019) the thought of attempting a traditional NOBO thru-hike was etched into my brain and has been there ever since. College was supposed to show me that, but apparently I am a late bloomer in that department. If I wasn’t attempting the Appalachian Trail this April, I would be absolutely terrified, because, as unfortunate as it is, I still don’t really know what the crap I want to do with my life. Thinking about graduating college is incredible, but also intimidating. I am a soon-to-be graduate from Southeast Missouri State University. I currently work at the Civic Center in my hometown, saving up money before I hit the trail this April! Why Am I Hiking? Also, I am basic and love The Office, and my guilty pleasure is binge-watching Family Guy. That doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy indoor activities, I am a huge movie junkie and I am obsessed with the NBA. I have always loved adventuring, traveling, and doing outdoor stuff such as running, hiking, biking, and camping. I am 21 years old (22 when I hit the trail), and I am just a typical dude almost out of college longing for an adventure.
