I am here for Friends

About Me

I love laughing, dancing, talking, being crazy, snowboarding, kissing, eating, reading, dressing up, volunteering, partying, yoga, and laying in the sun. I am a sophomore at Santa Clara University, i love it except for the people who think they're hotter and cooler because they have expensive shit. I love my friends and am thankful i have ones that are so great and i can talk to about anything.i get frusturated by the world's problems, amazed by its beauty and wonder, feel connected to it all and yet completely alone all at the same time.I don't understand why people can still support Bush after proof of no weapons, new orleans, his ignorance with global warming, his 'your with us or against us' attitude, his obvious stupidity and his disregard for other nations and ideas while he ironically calls himself a Christian.I hope to make a difference somehow and to be connected to something bigger than myself. "A lot of people are waiting for Martin Luther King or Mahatma Gandhi to come back -- but they are gone. We are it. It is up to us. It is up to you. It's time for greatness -- not for greed. It's a time for idealism -- not ideology. It is a time not just for compassionate words, but compassionate action." - Marian Wright Edelman.

My Interests

What I live for, all of it, can be summed up in this quote: "To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch... to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!" - Emerson, I love Emerson (Oh what you learn from Mr. Macy's American Lit class)

Our World is going to get BLOWN UP by our egocentric, incompetent leaders
