Look at me

About Me

I'm finally a senior in college! I'm a history major at a small university in Kansas, after growing up on the East Coast. I am probably the busiest person you will ever talk to, between classes, working at the local bookstore and working as the editor in chief for the university newspaper. I'm married to an awesome guy who does more for me than I thought anyone ever would. I'm a big fan of books and love to read. I like to listen to a lot of different kinds of music, but mainly my tastes lead me to rock, industrial and punk. Get your own free cool template at http://www.layoutpimper.com/
