New to seattle and I absolutely love it! Seriously...it it so wonderful to be in place with other people who are interested in the same things I am and it doesn't hurt that every single day I get to see something beautiful (rain or shine). I have only been here for about three months...all the way from North Carolina...and I feel like I am where I should be. Life is pretty much amazing right now

Graduated from UNC-CH (go heels!) in 2010...worked at Duke hospital for a couple of years all the while knowing that I wanted to go to medical school...I worked in a lab and definitely needed more patient interaction...plus I love to learn! I though traditional medical school but when I heard about Bastyr I knew it was for me...so currently I am rocking my first year here in the Naturopathic Doctorate program. For those of you unsure what Naturopathy is it is a medicine that attempts to restore a person to balance with the least force possible. We kind of believe that everyone is already in possession of what they need to be well and as doctors we simply facilitate it by removing the obstacles and intervening when absolutely necessary. It is something I am passionate about and is how I would want to be treated as a patient. The schooling is pretty intense but learning about something that is going to help others keeps me going...plus some really great coffee shops and even better friends

enjoying the moment...for the past four or five years I have pretty much developed a lifestyle that is free of stress...I don't really see a point in it and am simply here to be myself and have a good time doing it. I am also a good listener...sometimes I would much prefer listening than talking

hopefully they notice a sense of calm that I try to radiate out into the world...appearance wise I like to smile

i'm in to any kind of music and am not one of those people that really pays attention to who sings what because it isn't that important to me...but if the music is good i'm happy.

same goes with movies...no critic here...aka I am easily entertained. I just love going to the movies...one thing I haven't been able to do since school started but plan on doing over break

Hands down Friends is my all time favorite TV show...current shows would include Modern Family, Happy Endings...Dowton Abbey which I thought was going to be super boring but turned out to be really amazing. I did however watch it on Netflix (at work) with no sound so I did the British accents in my head...not sure what the characters actually sound like

my entire family, friends, yoga, the outdoors, and...

Honestly this may sound weird but there is nothing I really harp over...I try to think about what is happening when it is happening. If I am thinking about the past or the future than I am not really taking part in what is around me

Currently my Friday nights have been spent at coffee shops...finals week...but usually there is life music so that makes it a little less nerdy. When I am not studying for a test Friday night could be anything...I am still so new to the city that I have a lot of exploring to do. This Friday I am headed to a concert in Ballard :)

I am bad at confrontation...not like yelling...I can't remember the last time I raised my voice at anything....but sometimes I am afraid to say what I really want to just to avoid a 'situation'. I am getting better at it though because I need to take care of myself the way I take care of others

you feel like you have something to offer...I love learning from new people and am ready to get to know seattle a little better. I have done the long distance thing and am kind of looking for someone near me...getting to that point in life where I want to move forward with my boyfriend instead of being stuck in a standstill
