About Me

Hey guys, my name is Lena and I'm 20 years old. I live in Boston, MA, which is the most amazing city in America in my opinion. I go to school at Tufts University (go Jumbos!) which is tough but I really enjoy my life here. I am hoping to major in biology and maybe math, with a minor in biomedical engineering...as of right now. I'm a huge fan of interesting people, beautiful places, and random things to do. I know tons of people say that but seriously, try me and see. I am Russian-born and Western-raised, and I love all the zest that that brings into my life. I speak fluent Russian in addition to English, and am semi-fluent in French on a good day. I"m starting German this semester and I'm really psyched. I'm normally a very happy person, if a little stressed when exams come up (anyone will tell you that about me and it is no use denying it). But overall, I'm extremely happy with my life and try to remember that and remain thankful for it xox Lena P.S. I just got MSN messenger so say hi: add me at [email protected]%D%A%D%A
