ABOUT ME

See the other boxes on this page.

In general, I'm an easygoing university student who loves meeting new and interesting people and learning about almost everything in the world.

PHILOSOPHY

"To lose oneself is to find oneself;
not to lose oneself is to remain truly lost" - Jean-Paul Sartre

Don't get the wrong idea, I'm not all heaviness; I try to spend most of each day laughing out loud :)
