As some of you may know, I came into South as a Geology major, and though I'm no longer majoring in the subject, my interest in it didn't suddenly go away.  It was an amazing trip that fueled my thirst to see geological wonders of the world. Speaking of which, I collect rocks and minerals! My collection has over 100 different specimen, and I started it when I was about 7 years old.
