About Me

I love Jesus with all my heart. I know that God has a plan and purpose for my life and I'm excited to find out this ever developing mystery called life. I am a graphic design major at Auburn University and am waiting for the next phase of my life to take off. I have the absolutely best boyfriend (fiance) in the whole wide world. Hands down my man is the best and he is my dream guy. I prayed and wrote out a list of everything I always wanted and God matched me with him. My role is to show others that true love is always worth waiting for and that regardless of what age you are never settle for less than what you’re worth and find the person for you. Trust God always and in every situation because he will never let you down or fail you. Sometimes he puts us though the test but in the end he proves himself faithful and just. After all you are his child and he loves us too much to give us up.

My Interests

Graphic Design

“Graphic design is the most ubiquitous of all the arts. It responds to needs at once personal and public, embraces concerns both economic and ergonomic, and is informed by many disciplines, including art and architecture, philosophy and ethics, literature and language, science and politics and performance. Graphic design is everywhere, touching everything we do, everything we see, everything we buy: we see it on billboards and in Bibles, on taxi receipts and on websites, on birth certificates and on gift certificates, on the folded circulars inside jars of aspirin and on the thick pages of children’s chubby board books. Graphic design is the boldly directional arrows on street signs and the blurred, frenetic typography on the title sequence to E.R. It is the bright green logo for the New York Jets and the monochromatic front page of the Wall Street Journal. It is hangtags in clothing stores, postage stamps and food packaging, fascist propaganda posters and brainless junk mail. Graphic design is complex combinations of words and pictures, numbers and charts, photographs and illustrations that, in order to succeed, demands the dear thinking of a particularly thoughtful individual who can orchestrate these elements so they all add up to something distinctive, or useful, or playful, or surprising, or subversive or somehow memorable. Graphic design is a popular art and a practical art, an applied art and an ancient art. Simply put, it is the art of visualizing ideas.”

I'd like to meet:



John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his only son, so that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life."
Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Romans 5:8 "But God demonstrates his love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
Romans 10:9 "That if you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in thine heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."

Recycle Please! Relax and Live Life in the Slow Lane For every 5 MPH you drive over 60 MPH your fuel cost is increased by 20 cents per gallon. That means that a trip to Atlanta at 80 MPH rather than 60 MPH would cost 27% more in gas expenses. Also avoid heavy acceleration. Being a lead-foot can use up to four times as much fuel as moderate acceleration (fueleconomy.gov).
Reduce Your Waste ...by buying durable rather than disposable products. Not only are you reducing your waste, but high quality durable goods (ceramic plates and cups, cloth napkins, refillable razors, canvas shopping bags, reusable food containers) are more pleasant to use than something designed to be thrown away. Once you've done that...
Recycle Everything You Can It really does reduce the energy needed to manufacture packaging and reduces the need for raw materials. In January 2002, a trash audit was conducted at Auburn University by the EAO (Environmental Awareness Organization) to determine the contents of dumpsters on campus. A total of 2400 lb (5250 gal) of trash was sorted from 8 dumpsters. The audit showed that more than 50% of the dumpster contents both by weight and volume were recyclable. Since that point Auburn University has been working to develop a full scale Recycling Program starting in all the offices on campus. Recycling opportunities for students and other parts of campus are coming along each semester. Do your part by recycling both on campus and off. Finally, make sure you "close the circle" and buy products that are made from recycled materials.
Buy Local Did you know that in the U.S. food generally travels 1,500-2,000 miles to get to your table? (Worldwatch.org Paper #163) Instead of buying your produce at a grocery store visit the Auburn University Farmer's Market (spring through early fall). This is not only healthier and tastes better, but it also supports the local economy and family farmers, reduces air pollution and wasteful packaging, and reduces our need for oil. In addition to buying local produce, put your dollars to work in Auburn, support our locally owned businesses instead of large chain "big-box stores".
Power Down One of the easiest ways to become more sustainable and save money is simply by being more efficient in your use of electricity for computers and lighting. Turn off your computer when it is not in use. Computers use about the same amount of power when they're idling as when they are being used actively. For those times that you walk away and forget to turn it off, your monitor should be set to sleep after 15 minutes (not a screen saver that still uses the normal amount of power). It takes only seconds for it to come back on, and you can reduce your computer's electricity use dramatically. Turn off the lights when you aren't in the room. And switch to compact fluorescent light bulbs which use 66% less energy than a standard incandescent bulb and last up to 10 times longer. Replacing a 100-watt incandescent bulb with a 32-watt compact fluorescent can save you at least $30 in energy costs over the life of the bulb. Even if your apartment or dorm doesn't give you a separate bill for electricity, you are paying for the cost of the electricity you use in your rent (energystar.gov). If you're on campus at the end of the day, turn off lights that other people may have left on. We're all paying for that waste power!All information taken from http://www.auburn.edu/projects/sustainability/studentresourc es.php
