My Self-Summary
People have described me as a stoic with a genuine curiosity. I love the abstract, but I'm pretty practical when it comes down to it. I like to meet new people, experience different cultures, have interesting conversations, and learn new things. I love anything that can be described as a challenge. I smile a lot, I laugh a lot, and I'll most likely make your day.
What I’m doing with my life
I'm a Science student, about to graduate and do Teach For America. Then various odd jobs until I'm like 50, or the obligatory Medical School.
Other than school, volunteering at a hospital, and working at an AIDS clinic, I'm trying to become more adept in: cooking, lifting, running, playing guitar, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and soon to be Ballroom Dancing!
But I really just want to go out on the road à la Jack Kerouac, and live as a nomad.
I’m really good at
Having an encyclopedic knowledge of miscellaneous, mostly useless facts. I would probably be the best person to have with you on Cash Cab.
I'm really bad at:
Small talk.

The six things I could never do without
Freedom, the clothes on my back and reddit.com
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Lateral thinking, girls, maximizing opportunities, my next meal.
On a typical Friday night I am
Out with friends - I am in college. But I enjoy my chill nights too.
