CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm KB (Kate, Katie Brooks, Biz, KAKER, Kates, Katie Baker... etc). I've worked pretty hard to become an individual, and I generally try to change my outlook on things if I feel like I'm going in a direction I don't like. Not so much into drama, pretty into meeting people all the time. Like to ski. Like to joke around. Love being outside (especially when the air is cool). Like to learn, whether it kills me in the process or not (don't ever let me tell you otherwise). My favorite numbers are 4 and 21. I love big dogs, enough to get one tattooed on my back. I'm a Wellness Management and Health Science major at SUNY Oswego... Oh yeah, and ich spreche gern Deutsch, although I am a bit rusty.

PHILOSOPHY

Ooph. It'll be a while until I have one, I think. I'm workin' on it.
