: About Me

I am a college sophomore majoring in English with a journalism emphasis. I don't post on here as often as I used to because it doesn't seem like I have time to think anymore. I am a writer, heart and soul. I want to write for a living. I don't want my love of words and language to be filed away into the "Things I Did When I Was Young" box.

My passion is ...

writing, among other things. Especially when the Muse calls.

I know too much about ...

My parents always told me ...

My childhood ambition ...

was to be a veterinarian/bacteriologist

was cleaning machine parts

is that moment where you're tired enough to get pissed off by all the various irritations in life, but just sleep-deprived enough to think leaving your all-important flash drive at home is hilarious
