CURRENT MISSION

1. Finish my degree without stressing out. 2. Learn to speak Spanish. 3. Stay happy

ABOUT ME

I'm a 22 year old senior at the University of Arizona. I'm getting a degree in Environmental Science, which I think is one of the most interesting degrees, but also one of the most depressing. I grew up in Lubbock, Texas and have enjoyed traveling since I was a little kid. I want to be an urban farmer and community gardener, and all around chilled-out hippie. I like to read, waste time on the internet, get dirty and garden, and just relax with friends. I like to two-step (country style, not rap style) and ride my bike and eat breakfast 24 hours a day. I want to meet new people and live in different cultures. Broaden my horizons.

PHILOSOPHY

I recently realized that I have it easy in this life and I need to take the time to enjoy it. I want to learn, do, live, love, etc. I want to live my life consciously, and cultivate enjoyment and growth every day. I want to be a nice person.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I experienced true human kindness in an airport once, when I was stranded coming home from England--a total stranger did everything in his power to get me home, for no reason other than to help. I want to help other people out when they are far from home, and show that this doesn't have to be such a mean old world after all.
