ABOUT ME

Hi! I'm Emily. I'm 19 years old and an intended English major at Kalamazoo College in Michigan. I'm from Bloomfield Hills, MI (metro Detroit). I was born in the Boston area (Upton, MA) and all of my extended family still lives there. I moved to Michigan with my family when I was 10 because my Dad worked for Chrysler. I have one older sister who goes to Michigan State University.

I currently live in a house in Kalamazoo, MI with 8 of my closest friends. We have two pet cats (Beyoncé and Cali $wag) whom we love very much.

I have a girlfriend who lives in Ann Arbor, MI. We've been dating for two months and I think she's the bomb.

I wear glasses sometimes--usually only to see the board in class or for driving.

I'm a vegetarian (but I eat fish so I'm really a pescatarian but that sounds too pretentious.)

My favorite color is green but I also appreciate orange and yellow.

I'm pretty easy going, neat, friendly, and fairly high-energy. I love to dance, sing, and generally just hang out.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't take yourself too seriously. It's only going to be as fun as you make it.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I spent a brief time in the Dominican Republic in 2010. It was an amazing experience. I stayed in a remote village in the mountains and slept in the homes of the locals. The hospitality and kindness of the people with whom I stayed and the entire country was incredible. It opened my eyes to a different, less westernized point of view where human connection and relationships are priority.
