I'm moving out to Eugene in the summer for graduate school, so I'm just trying to get to know people.

As for my personality? I'm a strong, independent sort of person, with boundless amounts of energy. I love to go out into the great outdoors with my dog or my horse (my dog goes a lot of places with me). I'm not the type of girl to go all squeamish at the prospect of gutting a fish or get all weak in the knees after a hard crash from my mountain bike. I have a lot of aspirations in my life, from academia to personal fitness goals. I still have a lot I want to learn! Like stringing a bow, rock climbing, etc. I am bubbliest in the outdoors, or after a good espresso.

I do a lot of outdoorsy stuff, and love to be active. Some of my hobbies include camping, mountain biking, playing rugby (I'm a prop), horseback riding (I compete in jumping), running, swimming, kayaking, canoeing, hiking, etc.

As for my guy? I'd like him to be able to keep up with me, just because it's enjoyable to have somebody to go on adventures with. A guy has to be open to new experiences and new views, too. Anybody who is too close-minded or reticent to try new things really won't work for me.

On the flip side, I am just as content to spend quiet days inside once in a while.

In totality, I am a genuine, loyal, and free-spirited sort of girl excitedly waiting for the next chapter of my life to begin.

Currently double-majoring in English & Anthropology with a Folklore minor at a 4 year university. Looking forward to moving out to Eugene for graduate school. As for daily life? Just running with my trusty dog compatriot, studying, volunteering at the local Humane Society, and hanging out.

Writing poetry and prose, riding horses, swimming, and being decisively analytical. Also I'm fairly good at getting along with just anybody and being non-judgmental.

Animals, friends, nature, books, rain, coffee...

How weird human behavior is- I wouldn't be telling the truth if I said I didn't see "the jungle" sort of scenes when I walk into bars and other social establishments.

Out with friends, locked up in a hole studying, running with my goober of a dog, or all of the above. Oh yes, sometimes I sit on my tush and do just about nothing in a very productive sort of manner.

You're interested in getting to know me! I'm just looking to get to know people in the Eugene area. Don't message me, though, if you just want a casual hookup. I'm a classy lady, y'know!
