I am here for Friends

About Me

Fiery and warm, passionate about life...Well...I am originally from Turkey and it's my third year in USA. The reason for coming here is education. I am trying to get my PhD in neuroscience, specifically in Vision Science and I am sure you don't want to hear what it is about. I am used to living here, it's kind of slow after Istanbul but I am a part of this city now I guess...:) I am happy here. My personality...mmm, it's ok...(kidding). I think I am a nice person but who thinks he/she is a bad person. I can not find any reason to be pessimistic about life, most of the time I am smiling, I like my friends,especially my boyfriend...I like natural people,coffee, flowers, being in nature, candles, swimming,thinking, talking and doing nothing with the person I like (I know it doesn't make any sense but it does to me).I hate fake people (especially the girls pretending that they are living in sex and the city and the boys pretending they are rock stars or stg:)) Yeah...this is something I don't like about myself that I'm automatically starting to make fun of them and being sarcastic....anyways...I believe everybody has a reason to be here in the world and I am trying to find mine, good luck with yours..:) This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!
