I'm somewhat new to Massachusetts and adapting to life up here. Coming from Texas, things are pretty different, but I like it so far :)

I'm a big fan of trying out new things. Only being 22, I like to think I'm still figuring out who I am and what I like. So I'll give pretty much anything a shot if an opportunity presents itself!

I just graduated from school and started a new job in my field. I love it because every day is different! Some days it's pretty stressful too though, so I'm keeping my options open and holding off on grad school for a little while until I figure out what kind of degree I might like to pursue. Other than that, I'm usually just hanging out or trying to plan my next trip.

finding the humor in things and rolling with the punches. Some people might say this is a passive way to move through life, but I like to think of it as more productive. I take the bad with the good, but I'd just rather spend more time smiling than dwelling on things that can't be changed.

Books: I'm reading a book by David Sedaris right now- he's hilarious in a quirky kind of way. I like Khaled Hosseini's books and John Steinbeck. I've been reading a lot of work related books, mostly on autism spectrum disorders; some of it's pretty boring, but some of it really helps at work. Oh, and I have a soft spot for Calvin and Hobbes :)

Music: Honestly, I listen to a lot of country music, and I know that's not everyone's favorite up here, but lucky for me, there's still a country radio station! If it's not country, then it's usually pretty mellow stuff. Miranda Lambert, Sugarland, Luke Bryan, Rascal Flatts, Darius Rucker, Jack Johnson, Citizen Cope, Patty Griffin...

Movies: I love comedies; anything that can make me laugh is totally worth watching :)

Food: I'm a big fan of tex-mex; I'm all about good salsa verde and killer enchiladas con queso, but I'm still looking for a good place in Worcester.

1) laughter 2) my family and friends 3) holidays 4) new adventures 5) coffee 6) good music

what I'll be doing in the next year. Or what I'll be doing five years from now. I think right now I'm pretty focused on going back to school and work-related things, but eventually I think I'll start to also consider what kind of family I might like to have and where I'd like to end up living later in life.

deciding whether I'm up for going out or just wanting to stay in.

Thursday nights are my bum nights because it's when my work week ends, but lately, I've been going out a lot on Fridays. I think I'm ready for a few more low key weekends now though.

I was proudest of myself when I studied abroad in Scotland. I was totally out of my element, having never been in a foreign country before, but my concerns about going were more thrilling than frightening. In the end, I had a great time while I was there and left knowing that I could probably survive travelling to another country on my own.

I like to think that people are always changing and that there's probably something we can learn from each new person we meet.
