ABOUT ME

I'm a 22 year old student at Wellesley College near Boston, MA. I'm double majoring in English (20th century lit.) and History (Revolutions. I spend a lot of my free time in Boston drinking coffee in coffee shops, making my own coffee, doing work for an eco-fashion company, playing squash, and taking random road trips to maine. finally, ultimately my goals in life are to own my own wine cellar, have 4 Westie puppies named after the Beatles, do every single extreme sport and live to tell about it, and, on a more serious level, be a journalist- ideally a travel writer or a political commentator so i get paid for going places.
