I'm originally from Kansas but go to school in Boston. Each place holds a special place in my heart. I am a student, a gourmand, an insatiable learner and a premium dancer.

Going to school, being 20 years old and on top of the world. Exploring, making mistakes, creating, destroying, laughing and crying. And learning all the time.

being confusing, irritating, sweet and innocent all at the same time.
