About

My name is Max and I am a Sophomore at Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pa.  I’m studying Biochemistry, so up until this point the extent of my writing has been a straightforward, and sometimes boring, lab report.  Blogging is completely new to me and through my class Writing in and for Digital Environments, I hope to become better at is as I learn more.

I have always had a passion for getting lost in the outdoors. Many of my childhood memories are of bushwhacking through tick and mosquito infested woods trying to find my house. At college I have taken it upon myself to explore my new home.  Primarily on bikes, my friends and I explore new and exciting parts of town.

I had the idea  for this blog when my friends showed me a local swimming hole, just five minutes from campus.  How could it be that such an amazing spot was known by only a few people at Dickinson. Outside the Bubble aims to let people know about the interestinf and unique places that surround Carlisle.  It will document my experiences exploring Carlisle by foot, car, and bike. It will show the students, both prospective, and current, faculty, and whoever are interested parts of the area that would otherwise go unknown
