CURRENT MISSION

to have adventures big and small

ABOUT ME

i am an american college student who frequently shuttles between chicago and new york city. i'm always trying to be less shy and to have more adventures. i love people, but i'm not always courageous enough to approach people who i think are really cool. and as an easygoing vegetarian who naps a lot, my spirit animal is probably the manatee.

PHILOSOPHY

do no harm (but take no shit)
