Blog post #1! I've been thinking about doing this for a while, but given my indecisive nature, I could never come up with a suitable name. Finally, I settled upon 'Hillary by the Sea.' My name is Hillary, I love the ocean, and the catchy title even rhymes! Perfect.
A little bit about myself: I love the colors blue and green. I love marine and environmental sciences. There may or may not be a connection between those two statements.
If you ask any of my friends, they'd tell you that I never shut up about SCUBA diving and that I am studying for a degree in marine biology. - This is almost accurate.
I do LOVE to dive and all of my passions are related to the ocean and conservation sciences. However, people just automatically assume that I am a marine biology student because I throw around casual scientific names for reef fish (i.e. Pomacentrus moluccensis - adorable little yellow damselfish). I am actually finishing up my senior year in the Environmental Science and Natural Resources program at the University of Connecticut. As much as I would like to, I know fairly little about marine phytoplankton. I could definitely tell you more about the NAAQS, CERCLA, RCRA, or NEPA. Environmental science students frequently live in a world of acronyms. Look them up!
But back to the ocean...Yes, I am extremely enthusiastic about marine conservation and exploration. This blog will be dedicated to posting my thoughts, experiences, concerns, current events, and everything else related to the sea and SCUBA diving. In my last semester at UConn, things are about to get very interesting as I can finally put my passions to work and make a difference in the world. So excited!
