About Me

Let me tell you a little bit about myself, a little late:

  My full name is Kenneth Lee Yates, though I go by Kenny. I have lived in Topeka for my entire life, am a Junior majoring in Psychology and minoring in Sociology (possibly double majoring), and I recently moved into an apartment with my girlfriend and two good friends (which is going fantastic). My interests vary widely; I love attending concerts, watching documentaries, playing ping-pong, and being in nature (whether it is camping, hiking, exploring, or just relaxing). In the previous years I have come to seek risky activities for entertainment. Last summer I went skydiving and plan to again in the near future. I recently went hitch-hiking for my first time, and jumped off a 40-50 foot high bridge into the creek (no worries, everyone ended up quite alright, maybe a little sore). Eventually, as I continue to do extreme activities, I'd like to continue exploring new possibilities including bungee jumping and base jumping, and further down the line, acquire my certified skydiving license. After I recieve my Bachelors Degree I plan to devote all my time and effort to ridding myself of college debt (which is my only debt), leaving me free from the system for the time being. I will maximize this opportunity by living my years to the fullest, exploring, traveling, couch surfing, vagabonding, and about anything you can think of, with my girlfriend whom I have been with for about 3 years give or take. She is a 19, absolutely loving and selfless, and a Vegan, which I only mention because it affects my daily life (in a very positive way).
  Sometime in this mess, I will acquire my Masters Degree. I see schooling as beneficial, but for furthering my knowledge just for the sake of furthering myself mentally, not for jump-starting a career that I'll be locked in for the rest of my life. I'm not too sure what I'd like to do job wise later in life, but I easily envision myself being an activist of some sort, a counselor, but who knows. When it comes time to settle down a bit, I'll figure that out.
  As for this semester, I have high hopes, and am looking forward to the English 300 class!
