Introduction

Hello everyone! My name is Bradley Cruickshanks. I was born and raised in Eagle River, Alaska. I am currently a petroleum engineering major at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. I have been a life-long Alaskan. I love to hike, camp, fish, ski, snowboard, and play just about any sport. During the school semesters, I play intramural soccer, volleyball, broom ball, and ultimate frisbee. I am also a tutor in the math lab on the UAF main campus. Currently, I am down in Anchorage working full time and trying to make the most of what has been a pretty good summer so far.

As far as the arts go, I gravitate toward movies and music the most. I particularly enjoy films that make one think. Also, movies in recent years have been amazing in terms of graphics and visual effects. For me, these are great films and movies are the new paintings and sculptures of our time. Music is also one of my favorite types of a art. Music has amazing abilities to change one’s emotions. It can add suspense to a movie or raise excitement. A song can bring a nation together or just your local football team. Although these two types of media are not often referred to as “works of art”, I believe they are very much so. Lastly, although I don’t read much, my favorite type of books are dystopias. One of my favorites is 1984 by George Orwell

Lastly, here is some food for thought for those of you checking out my post.
