CURRENT MISSION

Pursuit of Happiness

ABOUT ME

Grew up in Seattle, WA, which will always be home to me.
Go to school at Kalamazoo College in Michigan (a small school no one's ever heard of...). Excited to be done with that in June 2011. I'm a psychology major and an English minor. Studied abroad in Budapest, Hungary and absolutely loved it.

MBTI = ISTJ (but close to ISFJ)

I want to see the world and read classic literature while listening to good music and eating crepes. You too? Let's be friends.

PHILOSOPHY

"In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on." -Robert Frost
"Love all, trust a few. Do wrong to none." -Shakespeare

I don't believe in regrets. I think we can learn from everything that happens in our lives.
I try to take things one step at a time.
