Nihil amori Christi praeponere.

About Me

I go to Ohio State, sing all day long, teach piano, and do too many things at once. I don't know how I'd survive without my family. I love good books, clouds, shopping, and old friends. I have a debilitating weakness for chocolate. I don't take compliments well. I sometimes speak without thinking, but I'm working on it. I'm also working on becoming a better Christian. If you'd like to help me with that one, let me know!

it's not about right and left, it's about right and wrong.

What makes life dreary is the want of a motive.

i am in awe of people who can go to auditions and do their thing so comfortably. it's amazing to watch other people stand in front of a panel and simply perform.  they don't appear to freak out o...

life exists for the love of music or other beautiful things
