CURRENT MISSION

Represent the recent presidential change abroad!

ABOUT ME

I have a complicated mind but my loves are simple: Football (soccer), oranje, Bob Dylan, Seinfeld, Woody Allen, and impressionism.
As a student I don't get to travel very much but I still do so as much as I can.
I grew up in Boston which was great because it's an awesome city with lots of interesting, if not always friendly, people.
I study economics and all that other liberal arts stuff at Vassar College because I think college is about learning to think; it's not a place for career training or business school.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a utilitarian: I believe in maximizing the happiness of every animal on the planet. This is why I'm a vegetarian and a supporter of the free market (with regulations) and democracy.
I also most value those who are considerate towards others and loyal to their friends. I don't like fakeness! The coolest people are honest and genuine and tell you what they really think!
