I am an undergrad, studying art. Ultimately, I plan to get my masters of social work. What this means right now is frequent sessions of breathing into a paper bag as I think about the dwindling weeks until graduation. Cheers to uncertainty!

parallel parking, rummy, ordering the best thing off a menu, creating playlists, folding paper boats. and I make a mean omelette.

Have to list a million favorites because I can never choose. Also I think these things say more about me than I can...

FOOD:
Love to eat it, love to cook it. I'm always up for trying something new

Having some beers with some buds. This often accompanies other activities like going to a show, watching a movie, looking at art, playing board games or dancing wildly.

you are: down to earth, interested in good conversation and going on adventures-- and aren't afraid to nerd out about what you love. honesty, laugher, humility, and intelligence are important to me. (if you like to run and have good taste in music? serious bonus points)
