i can make my first steps as a child of 25

About Me

according to the myers-briggs personality test, i am a infj (introverted intuitive feeling judging), which makes me creative, smart, observant and a perfectionist. also, not to toot my own horn or anything, but i'm pretty sure that i would kick ass in vh1's world series of pop culture, since i seem to know more random crap about tv, movies, and music than just about anyone else i know. i can be as loyal as a labrador retriever, but screw me over and that's it. my true friends are like my family and there is nothing that i wouldn't do for them. after being in school (the most politically active school according to the princeton review) for what seemed like forever, i am finally starting my life in the "real world," which unfortunately is nothing like the show on mtv. i've been through a lot in this journey called life, but i'm still learning and trying to find my way. i was really hoping to be someone by the age of 25...
