ABOUT ME

I'm a senior at the University of Minnesota studying English, Creative Writing, and French.

I'm currently living and studying in Paris for a semester, so I'm in travel mode!

PHILOSOPHY

Even after all this time,
The sun never says to the earth,
"You owe Me."

And look what happens with
A love like that,
It lights the Whole Sky.
