Blog #11-Evansville, Indiana

This past weekend, some of the Psychology students, including myself, went to Evansville, Indiana for the MAUPRC (Mid-America Undergraduate Psychology Research Conference).  We went to present research on a topic of our interest.  It was a great experience!  The location was beautiful too.  We presented at USI, the University of Southern Indiana, and the campus was beautiful.  Where we stayed and presented was more of an urban area with lots of restaurants, shopping, and lodging.  However, the drive down and back was so beautiful.  It all just looked so natural and peaceful, like there were no interruptions.  There were beautiful, natural fields of bright yellow flowers that would stick out like a sore thumb.  I would just look out the window and think, wow this world is really a beautiful place and we need to better take care of it and appreciate it.  There is so much beauty this land has to offer and it's often, I believe, that we fail to appreciate it.  This class has really helped me better accept and understand what nature is and what is important to better understand it.
