Elle

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Hello, my name is Yael Dana Benjamin. But you can call me Elle. I am a sophomore in college, where I study philosophy. In my spare time, I work as a 1:1 therapist for children with autism, teaching via the principles of applied behavioral analysis. I don't party much, but when I do, I love to dance and talk to new people and live vicariously through their stories. Because of my hectic schedule, I need a lot of down time to be by myself, even though it's hard not to get lonely. But at the end of the day, I'm still swimming.

My Interests

I enjoy watching movies, hookah night, macaroni Thursdays, and spending quality time with my favorite people. I love good conversation, heated debates, and venting my frustrations at the ignorant masses (particularly my conservative family in Georgia). I like purple, sunshine, and certain unmentionable activities that ease my anxiety and make life a little easier.

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet anyone who is friendly, humorous and enjoys life, but also people who have learned to survive in less stable conditions. Life ain't easy, anyone who says otherwise is overcompensating for some serious emotional issues. If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands. If you're happy and you don't know it, you probably don't know what it is to be unhappy either. So if you're passionate about life and learning, I'll be here, waiting for your friend request.

Music:

Classic rock, southern rock, and a few oldies. Cannot list them all to save my life.

Movies:

Almost Famous, Gigi, Dirty Dancing, Peter Pan, Pretty Woman, Forrest Gump, Rain Man, The American President, The Truman Show, and most action flicks.

Television:

I don't watch much television, but a few favorites are That 70's Show, South Park, The Daily Show, and anything on the History channel.

Books:

Flowers for Algernon, Harry Potter series, One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest, The Catcher in the Rye, and any historical fiction novel.

Heroes:
