This has become the #1 most lucrative Indiegogo campaign of all time. Their goal of $1 million was reached and exceeded to the point of $2.2 million at the deadline for the project funding. Solar Roadways first gained its insane amount of hype when they started an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign. Scott Bursaw is the lead engineer on the project, having earned his master’s degree in electrical engineering. Solar Roadways is a startup company that is based in Sandpoint, Idaho. At first, Scott thought the idea was ludicrous, but after much thought and careful planning, the idea has gained a sense of reality. The idea started when Julia recommended to Scott that we should replace all roads in America with solar panels. The idea is that these solar panels could generate electricity, digitally draw traffic lines, and be easily replaceable. Solar Roadways is the idea of replacing the pavement and asphalt on all roadways in America with solar panels. Today, we’re going to be talking about the revolutionary idea by Scott and Julie Bursaw of Solar Roadways.

I can’t say that I’m unhappy with my body today, but neither can I say that I am happy with it. Once you fall off the horse, it feels so hard to get back on. In the past few weeks, I’ve managed to get my lazy ass to the gym once or twice a week, but I know I’m not doing enough to make any real progress. I didn’t have any good excuses, and I didn’t have any motivation. Once spring break was over, I didn’t go back to the gym for a month. I got myself all the way back up to the point I was at when I first got to college. I was going to the gym at least three times a week, every week for a month, and I felt good. It wasn’t until I planned my spring break that I finally got back the motivation to get back to the gym. I used the excuse of the gym being too crowded with all of the “New Years Resolutioners” for it to be worth going. In the heart of the frigid and dreary Penn State winter, I found it hard to find motivation to do anything other than finish a season of my favorite show on Netflix every other day. When the next semester began, I was no better. When winter break came, I was too busy getting drunk and hanging out with my girlfriend to make time to go to the gym. When I saw that, I lost my motivation to go back to the gym, because I no longer felt confident. The problem, though, was that once I got back to the gym, I couldn’t lift what I used to be able to. Once pledging was over, I told myself I would get back to the gym. I told myself I was getting a good enough workout regardless, but I knew that was a lie. After a few short weeks, I stopped going to Powerlifting workouts entirely. I told myself that I couldn’t workout the day before a line-up because I couldn’t be so sore that I couldn’t keep up with my pledge brothers, and I told myself I couldn’t go the day after because I had already worked out the day before. I was pledging a fraternity, so they already had us doing tons of push ups, wall-sits, planks, and flutter kicks. After a while, I started making excuses to myself that seemed valid as to why I couldn’t go. When I typically go to the gym, I can knock out at least seven exercises followed by an abs workout in less than two hours. To me, I felt like we were moving insanely slow. In the two hours that we would work out, we would only do three exercises: bench, squat, and deadlift. I improved my form and gained a bit of muscle, but not as much as I would have liked.Īdmittedly, I got a little bored of the powerlifting workouts. I started squatting and deadlifting again, something I had not done since football workouts. I went to the workouts every Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday. There were a few guys on the team who were intimidatingly big, and I saw them as role models in the gym. I went to the powerlifting workouts and I loved the team. The second week of the year, I joined the Powerlifting team. The first week of my freshman year, I purchased a membership to the campus gym. If I were to gain the freshman 15, I wanted it to be entirely in muscle. I didn’t have any major fitness goals, I only knew I wanted to keep working out. People say, “I will never get the ‘freshman 15’.” Others say, “It’s time for me to get in the best shape of my life.” To be honest, when I entered college, I had no idea what I wanted. Many people enter freshman year with goals. Freshman year is a time of major transformation. The life that you had before you arrived is gone in the wind and you become an entirely new person. College is a defining time in the life of all those who choose to attend.
