About Me

ABOUT ME

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!!! Neuropsychology major, play soccer for my uni. I love to love, dance, music, concerts, jammin' out, cooking is awesome, and awkward moments are awesome too!... I'm very outgoing, outspoken, energetic, and loving. I fancy high gravity beer, scotch, uniquely fantastic Hendrick's martinis, eclectic music, with phenomenal people.

PHILOSOPHY

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
~Nelson Mandela

"Public Opinion is a weak tyrant compared with our own private opinion. What a man thinks of himself, that is which determines, or rather indicates, his fate."
~Henry David Thoreau

"To know that we know what we know, and tat we do not know what we do not know, that is true knowledge."
~Confucius

"A woman's dress should be like a barbed wire fence, serving it's purpose without obstructing the view."
~Sophia Loren

"Live as if you'll die tomorrow. Learn as if you'll live forever."
~Gandhi

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Whistleblow on racist education administration successfully, but cannot actually whistle.
