I’m a student, currently the middle of my third year working on a Human Development major and a possible double major in English. Writing is in my blood, but I just never knew it.  I am absolutely terrified of the future and of “growing up”  and of where I’ll be in two years, but I try to pretend that’s not unusual. I don’t really think I have any particular skill that is just above and beyond most people’s, which honestly just makes it harder to think about the future.

I like writing, I like photography, I like working with children, I like helping people. I want to make a difference someday, I’m just unsure how. I am not a good people person and I don’t have the best charismatic abilities. I treasure my alone time, and one-on-one time with my friends. I also treasure those late-night talks and drives that have become more and more rare.

Sometimes I feel as if the only way I can really write anything worth reading is if I’m sad, or drunk. Or both.

I don’t want to bear this weight anymore.
