Cant wait to see where the road leads

About Me

Hey everyone! Originally from a small town surrounded by cows and orange trees in the central valley, I am now attending UCLA.
I have been fortunate to learn so much about life and about myself since I came to LA and am so grateful to have people around me who love and care for me as I am making my journey through life.
I am a Political Science major and plan to earn a Master's Degree in Public Policy and Public Administration.
*I am a very liberal democrat who is in favor of: abortion, gay rights, medicinal use of marijuana, healthcare for all, gun control, etc.
*I do believe in Karma, and i have seen it proven, what goes around comes around 3 fold.
*I am not religions although I am spiritual.
*I am interested in different religions, and am currently exploring Islam.
*One thing I have never understood is how people can hate one another so much to the point where they commit heinous crimes.
*I am a very open minded person, but i don't tolerate being willfully ignorant or prejudice.
*We all need to learn about what is going on in the world, and look at issues not just from an American perspective, but rather from a global point of view.
*Something that i cant stand is people being intolerant of others because of ideaologies, race, religion, etc.
Do not mistake the fact that I'm young for being naive and stupid.

My Interests



I enjoy reading almost anything except romance novels-ugh! Overall, I'm a pretty quiet person, though not shy. I will usually keep to myself unless someone starts talking to me, then I have no problem. I am a very honest person which can be a good thing or bad (depending on who you ask), and if you ask my opinion, I will be honest and tell you what I think even if it's not what you want to hear. Oh, and just as a warning, I am very opinionated. If you ever want to discuss something-I'm the person to come to :) But really, I'm a honest, down to earth person, who enjoys learning new things and hearing others point of views.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone and everyone who is open minded honest, and true to themselves, I don't like it when people try to hide who they really are. I love meeting new people! I believe that every person that enters our life has something to teach us. So send me a message, because I would love to meet you! But please if i dont know you, send me a msg introducing yourself before you add me,or i will NOT add you, thanks! And NO messages promoting your music or any products or services. Thanks I appreciate it.
