Usually, people start off writing an introduction to themselves as "Hi, I'm (blank) and I am (blank) years old. I am majoring in (blah blah blah) and my hobbies are (even more blah blah blah)." Not this time though. I will be writing about myself differently so I don't bore you all with the stereotypical "Hi my name is..." statements. Instead, I will tell about myself things that I feel are necessary to know about who I am as a person.

One of the first things I say to people when I meet them is "Sorry" and "Ahhhh" because I'm usually too nervous to say anything else in a comprehensible language. And If you see me with my headphones in, I'm usually not listening to music. I'm just trying to concentrate. Most of my friends and I talk through Snapchat so I'm often seen in public places making faces at no one in hopes no one sees (even though I know everyone probably saw). I claim to eat healthy, but in reality I eat more pasta and ice cream than anyone else I know. Being an ex-wanna-be-scene girl (shudder), I really like pop/punk/rock music of any kind. Jellyfish are the most beautiful creatures in the world to me aesthetically, but I also believe dogs have the most beautiful souls in the world. The Rogue Valley has been my home since as long as I can remember and Ashland is by far my favorite city in the world (so far). I also would like to add I have a dry sense of humor and the amounts of sarcasm I sprinkle on to everything are a little too heavy for some, so proceed with caution.

As I write more articles, I will hopefully be able to convey who I am in others ways. I'm very excited to be an odysey writer and couldn't be happier than where I am now at SOU doing what I love.
