Tidbits

I classify myself as somewhat dorky and nerdy. I enjoy going out with friends and I enjoy going to new places with my boyfriend, but I also enjoy spending my time at home working on my website or writing a story or streaming a show on my computer. I can be very quirky, funny, and/or hyper sometimes. My moods vary. However, upon first impression, people see me as timid and shy. Once they get to know me, they see me for the weirdo I really am :). I take school very seriously, but I also like to have humor in my life and be friendly to those who can return the friendliness. I've got a goofy and sometimes ridiculous family, but I appreciate and love them nevertheless. I've had my lows just like anyone else, but I am working hard to reach the highs in life.

I am currently a college student at a public university, pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in Biological Sciences. It's been a tough road.

My first dream career was to be an artist in Kindergarten. I was truly passionate about drawing and art up until the last few years of elementary school. I was constantly informed by my parents that artists were poor. Talk about a dream killer. Besides that, I started growing out of drawing anyway, and my next career goal was a veterinarian. Very plausible, but it became unrealistic as I realized my fear of blood and seeing animals hurt. My other plan was to became a writer. Yes, I picked up writing. I loved it and I did well with it for many years and even to this day I still have a love for writing.

So what's a gal whose had a love for the arts and the humanities doing as a science major? I struggled long and hard to look for a career path that I was willing to stick with. Biology came up because it was something I felt that would be relevent no matter how many times I changed my mind. If I don't want to be a doctor, I can do something else, there are biotechnology companies, etc. It feels like a lot of open doors, although I just don't know them too well yet. When I sit down to read my "boring" biology book, I find it all actually very fascinating. And I feel like I can use this somehow to make a better life for myself and other people in the future. I think that was my cue to go for it because I don't think everyone can sit down with a biology book or an organic chemistry textbook and feel excited to learn that stuff. Who knows, my cues might have been wrong, but I am hoping I'm on the right path.

I suppose this is why my website and blog are still a part of me after all these years. They've always been a form of self-expression and a place for me to try something new. That idea is nothing new. But now as I sit here as a biology major in college reading about nothing but DNA translation and synthesis of alkenes, I think this website is my channel to the other world of the creativity I've always longed for all my life. My websites have had activity ranging from being worked on every day to being on hiatus for months, but here it is, still standing strong and I'm still here making an attempt to update more regularly.

So that all means that my website is a very special place to me, and since you're here, you get to share some of the experience with me :)
