CURRENT MISSION

To have as many experiences, meet as many people, and share as much as I can

ABOUT ME

Hi I'm Jacob. I'm 21 years old and was born and raised in Texas, but please don't hold that against me. I'm really into enjoying/observing art, especially Music, though I'm not too good at creating it. I'm currently studying Biomedical engineering at the University of Texas at Austin. I love meeting different types of people especially those who can teach me something new about their culture or tell me about their unique experiences. My favorite types of people are those who you can feel an immediate feeling of friendship and trust with and I do my best to try to be this type of person. so please come hang out with me so we can learn from each other and create some new experiences and memories with each other.

PHILOSOPHY

"people are just people they shouldn't make you nervous"- Regina Spektor
