CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

its a long story, here's the cliffnotes version:

ive been in and out of college for three years because i have trouble staying put. I dropped out my sophomore year to hike the appalachian trail. I started up in Maine and walked south til I got to southern Virginia whereupon I got tired of walking and decided "i'm pretty tired... i think i'll go home now". Went back to school at UTC. Decided to enlist in the Marine Corps Reserves. Spent last summer at boot camp on Parris Island. It was the most fun i never want to have again. I'm back in school now and working as a server at a restaurant, i also do some volunteering.

My hobbies include:
magnets.
