I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm an addict to physics, photography, primary texts. I read a lot, I am a music fanatic; I usually dont watch movies. I'm athletic, and regularly engage in hiking and raquetball. I attend Kansas State University, where I am a junior, dual-majoring in Physics & Mathematics - the preference wavers daily. I tend to let small things get to me, but am generally laid-back.
