CURRENT MISSION

There are so many beautiful places in this world that can open our eyes to how extraordinary our planet is. People are amazing, and I would like to share in the creativity and wonderment that exists around the world.

ABOUT ME

I am a fun-loving girl who busies herself with work and school, being with friends and reading great books. I have worked to support myself in some way for as long as I was legally allowed. I currently wait tables and tend bar at a pub where I go to school, I take the maximum amount of credits, and work my ass off most of the time while still enjoying the people who surround me and the city I live in. I like to smile and to meet people. I enjoy science (I am a biology major), ANIMALS (though I unfortunately do not own any of my own as it is too hard with the hours I keep and having roommates), running, cooking, and art. I am currently studying abroad in Italy to see the art and beauty I have always dreamed of seeing!

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live my life to the fullest I possibly can with as little worries as possible, but I feel that I have a realistic view of the struggles that everyone must go through and the strength that is gained by going through them. I try to avoid drama and pity/self-pity (some of my peeves), I like to be loud and outgoing when it's appropriate but to respect everyone for their personal preferences and to always be aware that the world is always bigger than we think. There is always tomorrow, and chances are it will bring something new.
