Hiking, Caving, Video Games, Hockey, Music

I love spending time in Northern Georgia (The biggest reason I picked my college) and spent a lot of time in caves up around the North West Georgia area. My favorite cave has to be Petty John's cave, but I love all the caves that aren't taken over by tours. It's super relaxing being in a cave separated from the world, and some cave formations are beautiful. Being a computer science major, my love for video games was natural. I like games like Factorio where it can sometimes feel like trying to solve a puzzle as I try to optimize my production lines. For Hockey, I very recently became interested in it. I came from a basketball family, and while I like basketball, it didn't interest me like hockey does. The fact they are so coordinated on ice skates makes it a million times more impressive to me, and the way they move the puck around is wild sometimes. On my music taste, I enjoy a lot of prog rock and math rock, but I listen to a lot of bands that don't fall into those categories as well. My favorite band's right now are Minus the Bear and Protest The Hero.
