CURRENT MISSION

Travel the world, meet great new people, and keep an eye on my GPA

ABOUT ME

I'm a freshman at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Washington. I'm not exactly sure where I'll wind up, but I'm sure I'll enjoy the ride there.

PHILOSOPHY

We perceive the passage of time by how things have changed. If nothing changes, your life speeds by unacknowledged. Fill your life with variety and difference and you effectively have more time. Spice it up, feel like you live forever.

Not to be the stereotypical CSer quoting "Into the Wild" but...
"The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun. "- Christopher Mccandles
