Get To Know Me!

Hi, my name is Asher Stuart and I’m glad you’re here! Whether you are a friend or a stranger thanks for visiting, below will be some information about who I am!

I am 21 years old and I’m currently a student at Stephen F. Austin State University pursuing a BS in communication studies and a minor in sociology. With this, you may think that I know what I want to do with my life as far as a career goes, but the truth is, I have no idea. 90% Of the time I have peace with not knowing what I want to do because I have my whole life ahead of me, but the other 10% of that time I’m thinking about how cool it would be to know what the future holds for me. I think a lot of the reason I have peace with this is because I have trust in God and have full faith that He is in control and has a plan for my life. This is something I hope to express more in this blog, my faith. My faith plays a big part in who I am and plays a big part in a lot of my decisions. 

I love to be outdoors and be adventurous! I ran cross country and track for a couple years in middle/high school and played soccer for 13 years. I’ve been skiing twice and loved it both times. I haven’t tried many water sports but would love to (if you’re the guy with the boat and water skis let me know). I enjoy hiking, especially long tough ones that end in a rewarding view that you don’t want to leave. I think above all else, I love winning. I’m pretty competitive, even if it’s something as little as guessing the closest to the current temperature, let’s make it a competition. I love the games that aren’t sports but also are, you might be confused but let me list some examples: spikeball, kan-jam, ping pong, bowling, cornhole, ultimate frisbee and disc golf. You with me now? I’m always down to play any of these. I also really enjoy board games and card games, specifically I’ve really been on a Catan kick. 

Here are 10 quick fun facts about me!

1. I’m from Mansfield, TX and have lived in the same house my whole life, well except the first couple months of life but close enough.
2. I traveled the country for 99 days by myself living in my car, I started this trip on my 20th birthday. There will be a blog with much more detail about this experience later on.
3. I’ve been skydiving! This is how I celebrated my 21st birthday, which I would recommend to anyone. (There’s a trend started with the birthdays, who knows what 22 has in store for me.)
4. I wore chacos everyday of my senior year in high school and Chaco sent me some free merch for it.
5. I’m currently training for a Half Ironman (1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike, 13.1 mile run).
6. I’m an enneagram 7 with a wing 8. 
7. I think bacon, The Office and Friends are all overrated (I probably just lost 75% of my readers).
8. I want to have a converted van one day to be able to do long travel trips in. 
9. I can juggle.
10. I have long hair, and have had long hair for about 6 years, and before that it was always shaggy (think Justin Bieber hairstyle).
