Pathfinders

Mr. Stanley, if you’re reading this, please name me as your successor.

David Madden is the founder of the National and International History Bee and Bowl. He won money on Jeopardy and decided to spend it on allowing young nerds to flaunt their nerdiness. At the most recent Dubai competition I talked to him about volunteer opportunities and got his card, so I had plans to e-mailContinue reading “One Question: David Madden”

Something I wrote is in a Magazine!

Yes, I’m now famous. Don’t worry, there are plenty of autographs to go around. Read my article here, on page 14. Check out the rest of the magazine, too, if you want! One of my very cool friends, Anna, recently did an internship at Adventist Review magazine. Part of her duties were to find herContinue reading “Something I wrote is in a Magazine!”

Instead of College

A while back, I made a list of 10 things I wanted to do instead of going to college (or before, depending on how my life works out). When I made it, James Altucher’s 8 Alternatives to College were fresh in my mind. Despite being alive for close to 20 years, I can’t even comprehend choosingContinue reading “Instead of College”

Some friends of mine are trying to challenge themselves to do one scary thing each week. This sounds like a cool idea, but I’m not readyContinue reading “One Question Project”

Nothing Changes

Lately I’ve been hearing all about a show called Supa Strikas. I’ve never actually watched Supa Strikas, but I’ve been reliably informed that it’s a show about football (soccer). I guessContinue reading “Nothing Changes”

History Bowl 2015

The International History Bee and Bowl (IHBB) is an off-shoot fro the National History Bee and Bowl, a history-based quiz competition founded by David Madden with money he won from his 19-day streak on Jeopardy. I’ve written about my participation in these events before. Last year we managed to qualify for the Asian Championships, which wereContinue reading “History Bowl 2015”

Let’s Get Our Debate On

Or not. So, this is going to be my brand new blog. Tumblr got old, and here I am. The current plan is to post once a week. Adjustments may be made at a later date. A little bit about me: my name is Daisy, I was born in North Carolina, and I currently liveContinue reading “Let’s Get Our Debate On”
