CURRENT MISSION

I want culture shock.

ABOUT ME

I love traveling, sushi, dogs, black clove cigars, eclectic jewelry, the smell of soil, outer space, and people who aren't politically correct. My middle name is a color. I am a human pincushion. I grew up in a rural farming community outside the state capital of Lansing. Currently, I am studying pharmacology at WSU in Midtown Detroit, although I have no interest what-so-ever in the subject. This summer, I am planning to move in with my boyfriend who lives on Long Island, NY. I want to study culinary arts in the city.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short, cruel, beautiful, and unappreciated. We don't know what we have until it's gone, and we don't realize how great we could be until it's too late. "Seize the day, because tomorrow you might be dead."

Teach, Learn, Share

Even though I live in a relatively boring area, it is in the middle of all of the bustling cities of Michigan: Lansing, Detroit, and Ann Arbor are an hour away or less. I'm familiar with them all and anyone who is interested in the area would do well to talk to me! I'm very open minded and am interested in people who have a different way of life than I do, because living in such a rural area can make you blind to how life is on the outside.
