About Me

Well for starters, the name's Julie and I'm from the tiny town of Columbia. I'm a SENIOR at Northwestern State University and I'm majoring in Elementary Education. A lot of people have tried to talk me out of teaching, but it's what I want to do with my life and nothing will change my mind. I'm a lot of things but first and foremost I'm a Christian. I am far from perfect, but I try to live my life in a way that pleases God. Luckily, God forgives me and also gives me strength to get through my crazy life. My amazing friends and family also help to keep me sane. I'm also a southern girl and I appreciate good manners and the simple things in life. Sometimes I feel like I belong to another time. And of course, I'm a huge nerd. lol I love to read and would rather do that than many other things except maybe waste time on the computer. If you ask my friends, I'm a mixture of Lisa Simpson, Belle from Beauty and the Beast, Hermione Granger, and Kitty from That 70's Show. Well, I think that about covers it. Hit me up if you have questions!
