[00:00:00.418](upbeat music)
[00:00:06.340]Good morning.
[00:00:07.400]My name is Matt Hoffman
[00:00:08.710]and I'm an Ag Econ major from Plainview, Nebraska
[00:00:11.180]and today I'm just going to show you
[00:00:13.120]what a day in the life looks like for me.
[00:00:14.809](upbeat music)
[00:00:16.270]On a normal day, I probably go to the UNL rec
[00:00:20.050]and workout but today it's a little bit special day.
[00:00:22.910]So it's CASNR Week here on east campus.
[00:00:25.850]And so I'll be going to CASNR Coffee Club.
[00:00:28.864](upbeat music)
[00:00:32.530]I'm not always a morning person
[00:00:33.790]but it's nice to have things like this
[00:00:35.360]to get me out of bed and get the day started.
[00:00:40.400]Maybe after spending a little too much time
[00:00:42.480]at CASNR Coffee Club,
[00:00:43.600]I'm headed off to my first class of the day
[00:00:46.550]and that class is Invasive Species for plants
[00:00:49.610]and is an agronomy class.
[00:00:51.670]So this class takes place in Chase Hall,
[00:00:53.880]which is located on the east campus mall.
[00:01:00.520]Chase Hall is home to the Agricultural Engineering program
[00:01:03.860]at the University of Nebraska as well.
[00:01:07.142]♪ Hey ♪
[00:01:08.233]♪ Oh ♪
[00:01:10.008]♪ Oh ♪
[00:01:12.834]♪ Hey ♪
[00:01:14.069]♪ Oh ♪
[00:01:14.902]So just finished up with class,
[00:01:16.130]headed back home now to eat lunch.
[00:01:17.730]Every day I come back home to my fraternity
[00:01:20.440]and see what's on the menu and it's usually pretty good,
[00:01:23.750]so that's a high point of my day.
[00:01:26.130]All right.
[00:01:26.963]Just finish up with lunch.
[00:01:27.820]It was awesome,
[00:01:28.680]and happened to run into my friend Jack over here.
[00:01:31.330]My favorite thing about UNL is just the environment
[00:01:36.250]of walking on campus and just going to class.
[00:01:40.870]Good answer. (laughs)
[00:01:45.650]Now that it has some free time before my next class,
[00:01:47.890]I thought I'd take it to talk a little bit more
[00:01:50.170]about why I chose to come to the University of Nebraska
[00:01:52.810]as well as why I picked my major.
[00:01:54.870]So long story short, I grew up on a farm
[00:01:57.280]in northeast Nebraska,
[00:01:58.310]and ultimately after college,
[00:01:59.960]I'd like to return there
[00:02:00.840]and take over that farming operation.
[00:02:02.770]So that's really why I chose the Ag Econ major,
[00:02:05.870]but my option is the general option.
[00:02:07.940]And what that means
[00:02:08.773]is it gives me a little bit more flexibility
[00:02:10.290]with the classes I take.
[00:02:11.420]So I'll take the general business classes,
[00:02:13.500]but also because every farm is different,
[00:02:15.880]it gives me the option to pick about certain things
[00:02:18.140]within the college of ag,
[00:02:19.170]whether it's agronomy, animal science
[00:02:21.590]or whatever it is that will help me best benefit from it
[00:02:25.540]and take that back to the farm.
[00:02:27.390]So that is really the main reason that I chose Nebraska,
[00:02:30.030]just because they offered that option
[00:02:31.730]and it was so close to home for me.
[00:02:33.360]Which means that I could run back on the weekend
[00:02:35.030]during planting or harvest or whatever it may be,
[00:02:37.350]which is very, very beneficial
[00:02:39.100]because back home, my dad needs me to help.
[00:02:41.462](upbeat music)
[00:02:44.940]Is also a beautiful day in Lincoln, Nebraska right now.
[00:02:48.450]About 60 degrees, blue skies.
[00:02:50.430]What more can you ask for?
[00:02:51.800]So usually before my 12:30 class,
[00:02:53.590]I always run over into the east campus visitor center
[00:02:56.100]and talked to Sue Ellen,
[00:02:57.210]who is not only one of my bosses,
[00:02:59.010]but one of the best people here at the University.
[00:03:01.770]I love the people on this campus, of course,
[00:03:04.600]because we have so many great people working all over
[00:03:07.260]and great students, great faculty staff.
[00:03:09.550]It is an amazing place to be.
[00:03:11.320]And it's blooming right now.
[00:03:13.360]You heard it here first.
[00:03:15.294]♪ Hey ♪
[00:03:16.854]♪ Oh ♪
[00:03:18.490]So another thing going on today
[00:03:19.810]for CASNR week is they're having a plant giveaway.
[00:03:22.880]All right.
[00:03:23.713]So I'm here with Jake and Maria
[00:03:25.490]and we just got ourselves a mint plant at the plant sale.
[00:03:28.420]So, CASNR week is popping.
[00:03:31.164](all laugh)
[00:03:33.030]But it's a great day,
[00:03:34.050]great day to be a Husker.
[00:03:35.520]So after the plant sale, I'm headed to my next class,
[00:03:38.810]which I do with the group of people
[00:03:40.110]in Dinsdale Learning Commons.
[00:03:43.170]Finished up with classes for the day,
[00:03:44.670]so headed back home, changed,
[00:03:46.410]and actually headed to go get food
[00:03:48.500]for our Ag Business Ag Econ club meeting tonight,
[00:03:51.190]so head to the store quick, grab some stuff
[00:03:53.590]and then get ready for that.
[00:03:55.652]All right, guys, just got back from the Ag Econ meeting,
[00:03:59.000]got really busy there so I couldn't show you a ton of stuff,
[00:04:01.240]but John Deere came to speak for us
[00:04:03.230]and we had Goodcents Subs, so can't beat the free food
[00:04:06.750]and it was good.
[00:04:09.960]All right, so just got back from the union,
[00:04:12.680]all studied up for my test and about a call tonight.
[00:04:16.120]So thanks for hanging out with me today
[00:04:18.850]and hope you guys enjoyed my day in the life.
