About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To take it all in!

ABOUT ME

I spent a very large portion of my life utterly afraid of the world and kind of living in a bubble, also known as Ohio.There is so much more to the world and I'm just ready to see it and its meet it's inhabitants. Mostly I've just come to realize i'm a senior in college, i'm going to soon be starting a career, I dont want to walk right into this guillotine of pending responsibility without knowing what else could be, things my limited mind has never even thought of, that would be a , for lack of a better work, bummer.So i guess now i should get down to the basics i'm a 23 year old from Akron, Ohio. I major in english. I love to sing. I'm a poet. I play piano. I dont dance , but i do like to occasionally try. I've done a lot of theater, I love it, it was my original major until i caught the literary arts bug. And i'm just looking to meet great people aand hopefully see great places.

PHILOSOPHY

I guess I just sort of try to live...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think driving though the mountains in West Virginia was probably the most serene experience I've ever had.

Teach, Learn, Share

this quote by, i think Alice Walker "insanity is doing the same the twice and expecting different results" that quote has really helped me overcome some huddles.
