About Me

Hi! My name is Tom and I'm 20 years old and I live in PA.I love horror films, roller coasters and having an amazing time with my friends. As for my major, I was just accepted to Lehigh University as a transfer student for molecular cell biology. A professor from LU once said to follow your passion, and I plan on doing exactly that. As you could probably tell, this field IS my passion - it even influences my background on here! Aside from that, I have some of the best friends anyone could ever ask for. My friends are awesome, without them I don't know where I would be, and I can honestly say that I would not be the person I am today. I am outgoing and always open to meeting new people, so if you find me interesting and wanna chat sometime then message me on AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) at ChatturghaX :)
