- School is easy. Robots are hard but seriously my schedule right now is nothing to worry about. 15 credits and I'll end up with a good grade in all of my classes.

- I'd like to think I'm getting my fair share of campus activities. I founded Bison Robotics at NDSU which now has around 100 members. Managing that takes up a significant amount of time, and the people I've met through the team are incredible.

- Friends are pretty much covered by Bison Robotics. It's great not being the only FRC-crazy person in Fargo. There are plenty of awesome people here.

Sorry to make this post about myself! I just wanted to clarify that deciding to volunteer 3 hours away was a calculated decision, and one that I believe is reflecting on my life in a positive way. I may indeed be crazy, but there is a method to the madness!

Thanks for the responses on this thread. Very interesting to hear the habits of some of the best mentors in FIRST!
