so...what is it you want to know about me? Im currently a student at Saint Mary's College in the bay area studying liberal arts and economics. I want to go into Development Economics and work with organizations like FSD in third world countries to help develop sustainable ways to grow the economy. This was totally inspired by my trip to India last year. The trip completely changed my life and opened my eyes to the horrible suffering endured by people in countries dealing with extreme poverty. Even the worst of the worst living in the states have no idea how lucky they truely are. In no way am I saying the US is perfect, my god no, there's more corruption than I can bear to understand. However, the ability to live in a warm home and have food at least once a day, the welfare programs that are available, public schools (no matter how shitty they are you can still come out with the ability to read and write which is more than most could ever dream of in other places of the world), everything, is a total blessing many take for granted. And yet, those in extreme poverty in those parts of the world seem to be the happiest people I have ever met. Well, now that we've talked about all the sadness in the world, how abouts a little pick me up, eh? If you wanna know a little about me here's some good starters... I like to laugh, i LOVE to snowboard...and i think i finally got good! haha, yay!, im completely in love with my life, i love learning new things about the world, i like to go bowling! haha, i like to play pool, i like to hang out with friends and have some fun with a few drinks, i love to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning while reading the paper...although im often too rushed in the morning to do this anymore and it usually sadens me to read the paper, im a freak for the ocean, i like listening to music and singing along in my car, i love being at the beach, i like to go rock climbing-its my new favorite hobby! its awesome, u should try it!, i LOVE my family TO DEATH and i dont know what i would do without them-they are the greatest people in the world and i couldnt have asked for a better family, im not afraid to take risks, i'll try anything once, i believe EVERYTHING IN YOUR LIFE HAPPENS FOR A REASON - good or bad, i want to travel the world 10x over, i like to make people happy, i've recently become a semi-health nut, i think Scrubs is the greatest show on TV following close behind would have to be sex and the city, my life has changed A LOT over the past couple of years and i couldnt be happier about it, im growing up and becoming exactly who i want to be. And i will ALWAYS live my life to the fullest! ***One day your life will flash before your eyes, make sure its worth watching***..

My Interests

i love ALL types of music although rock is my fav, i also LOVE to snowboard (and i dont care who you are or what you say the colorado rockies beat california's riding anyday), rock climbing, playing pool, laughing, being a girl, photography (one of those things i've only dabbled in and would love to learn and do more of), art (but dont take that the wrong way- in no way am i artistically talented, sadly), being "right by the beach..BO-IE!!!", traveling the world-although i havent really done much of that yet but i'm still only 21, i'm trying to find the career that will just pay me to travel all around the world, that would be my dream job, to be able to travel to every country and see every different way of life.

I'd like to meet:

Someone will always be smarter. Their house will be bigger. They will drive a better car. Their children will do better in school. And their partners will fix more things around the house. So let it go and love you and your circumstances. Think about it. The prettiest woman in the world can have hell in her heart. And the most highly favored woman on your job may be unable to have children. The richest woman you know - she's got the car, the house, the clothes - might be heartbreakingly lonely. So, love you. Love who you are right now. Tell yourself, "I am too blessed to be stressed."-Thanks to nikki, i love it!!
You Belong in San Diego
Laid back and friendly, you were meant to live most of your life on the beach.
You usually think everything is "all good"... except when the weather dips under 60F.
You stay classy - especially when you're in Tijuana! Where Does Your Inner Californian Belong? So freakin true!!! i DO belong in San Diego, but i will prolly never end up there Diversity makes us beautiful. LOVE because of differences....ONCE IN A WHILE I SIT BACK AND THINK ABOUT THE PLANET MOST OF THE TIME I TRIP ON IT TO KICK BACK AND THINK ABOUT HOW MASSIVE IT ALL IS AND HOW MANY OTHERS ARE ON ITI OFTEN THINK ABOUT THE WORLD IN WHICH I LIVE TODAY, OF ANIMALS AND PLANTS AND NATURE'S GIFT SET IN DISPLAY BUT THE MOST AMAZING THING THAT I'VE SEEN IN MY TIMEARE ALL THE DIFFERENT PEOPLE AND ALL THEIR DIFFERENT MINDS AND DIFFERENT WAYS IT WOULD TAKE A LIFETIME TO EXPLAINNO ONE'S EXACTLY THE SAME SO MANY DIFFERENT PEOPLE SO MANY DIFFERENT KINDS
