Introduction

Hello, my name is Alex Kautzman. I am from Bismarck, North Dakota and I will be double majoring in Creative Writing and Journalism.

My most recent trip was actually driving down to Iowa for school with my family. It is about eleven hours from Bismarck (granted that the stops are minimal), but my family decided to have a road trip of sorts. So while I moved in on Sunday morning, we actually left town the Wednesday prior. We made stops at Mall of America and Valley Fair to entertain my four younger sisters that came with to move me in. Since all seven of us came to Iowa, there was very limited luggage space. So while I only came with a single tub of clothes, there was still hardly any space in the back. And while the drive broken into five days wasn't bad, my family had to drive the whole way back on Sunday. While it was sad to see them go, I am very thankful that I did not have to be in the car for any longer.
