I once wrote:"The feeling that holding a pen gives me, I imagine, is the same feeling a football player feels when he holds a football, it’s magic. I love knowing that I have the power to create anything, right from nothing. I can take a blank piece of paper, and with my pen, tattoo a beautiful piece of poetry upon it. I also love the freedom that writing gives me. No one but myself can predict what I will write. Professors may give me prompts, but the imagination, the words, and the power are all mine."
I was born on January 21st, 1989 in Basel, Switzerland. After moving to the United States when I was one, I spent the first half of my life in Cleveland, Ohio. In fourth grade my parents and I moved to Strasbourg, France for six months. After living in a cozy little apartment in the city for six unforgettable months, my family moved once again, this time to a small town named Poolesville. Poolesville Maryland has a population of roughly 6,000. On our lunch breaks in high school, my friend Hayley and I would hop in her car and see how fast we could get to the nearest traffic light, about 5 miles away. Either that or we would race to Harris Teeter 15 minutes away and treat ourselves to the free samples. I once came close to hitting my boyfriends cow with my car. As you can probably guess, it was a pretty small town.
After eight years in Poolesville, I ventured west to Boulder Colorado, to attend the University of Colorado. It was hard to leave my amazing friends behind, but what I've gained from my time at CU I wouldn't trade for the world. My entire outlook on life, and the kind of person I want to be has been shaped by my experiences at CU and the knowledge I have gained. I love it here, I love the person I have turned into. After I graduate next May, I plan on pursuing my journalism career here in Colorado, I just can't seam to stay away!
Anyhow, I'm not quite certain what I plan on doing with this blog, but for all who come across it, I hope you're entertained!
