Our dreams, they are made out of real things

About Me

I'm a current psych major at SUNY Fredonia, interested in social psych and personality. I love to sing and dance, and I'm in the show choir Vocal Point. I paint, poorly, in my spare time. I'm engaged. I like bubbles, harmless fun, happy endings and the color red. I'm afraid of becoming helpless. I don't like sporks or watching people suffer when there's nothing I can do to help, like in a movie. I'm excited to grow old.
