Is there something that has ever made your life go in a completely different direction?

My brother passed away two years ago on his birthday in a car accident. Around the same time my friend and dog passed away, so I pulled a “Britney” and moved here from Albuquerque. When I moved here, it was the first time I had been here, and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made.

I’m the worst person to ask for dating advice!

What’s the face you make when your crush gives you a compliment?

When she's not running around on campus, you can usually find her in the corner shoving her face with jellybeans. Her favorite hobbies include talking 24/7 about her dog, showing people photos of her dog, and seamlessly fitting her dog into everyday conversations. Did I mention she has a dog?
