It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't

About Me

Ambiguity at its finest: I am silly and sophisticated. Airheaded, yet intelligent. Curious but cautious. Midwest values with wordly ideals. I love to be social, but I am also down with some "me time" occasionally. I am motivated in achieving my current career path...medicine. I am confident but not cocky. My laugh is contagious, and I love to spread it around. I learn very easily from my mistakes--and I make plenty of them. I care about people unconditionally and love to help others out whenever I can. Forgiveness...to a fault. I know who I am and where I am going. I am optimistic and will try to convert you to the bright side with all my might! I am also a sucker for a good debate...prepare, because no matter what side I am personally on, I will argue in favor of the "other" point of view and not the mainstream just to rile you up. LOL! Oh, and did I mention I love to travel? I need travel like a fat kid needs a cupcake. I recently returned from living in Shenzhen China studying Mandarin Chinese on a scholarship. It was amazing, and I have met friends from all over the world including Japan, Russia, Khazakstan, Spain, Australia, Camaroon, Nigeria, and Korea.Side note: I will only accept your profile if I have met you or if you are a friend of a friend.And, I am going to beat my cousin Donna to the punch and just tell you all that my friends call me Poodle. (Don't ask.)
