I'm Ryan, I'm a student, and self-described science person. I like to be outdoors; camping, kayaking, hiking or being at the beach in the summer, and snowball fights and sledding in the winter. Somewhat counter-intuitively, I also like video games, though I would never call myself a "competitive gamer." Also re-reading these boxes I feel like I come across more serious than I am in person haha

I'm a senior mechanical engineering student right now, balancing at that sweet spot between school and friends & family. I'll probably get a job before going to grad school, but I'm trying to keep my options open. Not really sure what else to put here so I'm gonna leave it at that haha.

Problem solving, keeping my word, taking things apart and putting them back together. I've been getting better at drawing lately but I think I still need work. I like building things.

My smile, that's what I hear anyway.

Books: The Forever War, The Hobbit, Ready Player One, Physics of the Impossible (I'm a nerd what can I say), recently finished Snowcrash which was great, and Name of the Wind is AMAZING
Movies: There aren't a lot I don't like but these are some of my favorites: Star Wars, Zombieland, District 9, Men Who Stare at Goats, Hellboy, Nausicaa
TV: Mostly watch Netflix over tv, and these are totally awesome: the Last Airbender, Firefly, Mythbusters, Dirty Jobs, Jericho. also house hunters is stupidly addictive lol
Music: I tend to like whatever comes on the radio regardless of what station. My iTunes however is a lot of remixes of pop songs, electronic and dance, "alternative," and some soundtracks

Family and friends (cliche but true)
My Leatherman
Autumn (my favorite season :D)
My kayak
Science
food.... water.... atmosphere!

i think i looked at this differently... boy scouts taught me to be a survivalist so these are more literal things i cant live without haha

The future and how I'm going to get there.

Doing something with friends, occasionally at the bar but I prefer to be at someone's place. If its summer hopefully around a campfire in the woods.

Not really private per se but I still have all the LEGOs I got as a kid growing up, and I've been known to still put something together from them haha.

you want to, I'm not gonna force you to =P haha
