About Me

I am a musician: play the violin and sing; Big sister- 3 sisters, 1 brother (poor kid), Pro Stresserouter- I'm the girl you call when its officially time to stress out...then i wig out with you for 2 minutes and then miraculously come up with a brilliant solution...I guarantee it, POSSE 5 @ GRINNELL SCHOLAR...my home and my family for the next four years :) I'm hoping to be a Biochemistry Major with a Neuroscience concentration...not quite sure yet, seeing as how Music is still the love of my life. I laugh too loud and too long, I never sleep, I cry easily at movies. I scare easily...ask Adam or April, I'm pretty calm, a little wacky at times, but sane, I have alot of common sense which is weird considering I'm one of the most gullible people you'll meet in your life, I'm very trusting, but likewise I can be trusted, I give good advice- I admit this.I'm good at OBESRVING AND LISTENING.... its not as hard as people make it out to be. I am a good friend, and I hope I can say a good human being....at least I aspire to be; I like reality.. no lies, and I promise none backI get really pensive sometimes-- I promise I'm not emo, I just like to think...alot...and not talk :) odd right? but I like it.Anyhow, message me if you want my sn or number...otherwise me and you wont be talking anytime soon. I don't add or speak to people i don't know :)
