About Me

My photo
Kristen Jorgensen
I am a graduating senior at California State University of Sacramento and am currently studying criminal justice. I have not found my true calling just yet, but I am leaning towards becoming an evidence technician. I have always loved playing softball and watching sports, baseball preferably. I enjoy the little things in life, like nature and animals. I’m especially compassionate about animals because they can bring so much happiness, but unfortunately, they are ultimately defenseless against those who will harm them. I chose to focus my blog around the devastation happening in the Pacific Ocean because it is affecting both nature and animals alike. The issue has been a recent topic in the news, but I figure bringing more attention to it can only bring about more awareness and hopefully get people thinking about small changes they could make in everyday life.
