I'm very social and prefer meeting people in person, but since I have this, I might as well use it.

There are a few things that define me as person: If I'm not helping others, I don't feel fulfilled in my life. I believe in and live by my values, but I don't go as far as to insist that others live by them as well. I believe that happiness is a choice, and that I am in control of my life and my fate. I am fairly relaxed and I make almost everything fun (and make fun of almost everything).

To be candid: I do not like long messaging back and forth and I prefer meeting people face-to-face. I am out and about in the city every day; I would much rather meet somewhere for a drink or coffee after work or class and get to know someone that way.

I'm finishing up sophomore year of my undergrad. I took several years off, fell in love with psychology, and that is what I'm going to school for now. I work as an academic advisor at my school, which is an incredibly rewarding job. During the spring and summer, I ride a pedicab in Boston. I like cooking, reading, going out, long talks about the human condition, and nearly anything outdoorsy.

I love biking around the city. Actually, I love anything having to do with bicycles--building them, fixing them, riding them.

Cooking, making damn-near everything fun, making people laugh, making myself sound like I know what I'm talking about, kissing, empathizing with others, fixing stuff.

My laugh and my irresistible (and modest) charm.

Books: The Great Gatsby (literary perfection), All of Ralph Waldo Emerson's works, The Big Short by Michael Lewis, anything by David Elkind.

Music: Folk, Hip-Hop (underground and pop), k-pop, house, and indie rock.

Movies: The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, Monsters, Inc., Anything with Robert de Niro, Let the Right One In, Korean thrillers, Citizen Kane, Star Wars anything.

Food: Italian, Asian, American

My friends, my iPhone, my bike, knowledge, love, water (derr).

How to make the world better.

Going out to eat with friends and then relaxing in front of a movie or TV show with them.

Deep down I am a voracious Trekkie, and I can preempt the dialogue in nearly every episode of The Next Generation series.

Do it.
