About This Author

I'm 21 1/2, a Sociology grad student at DePaul University, I have unrealistic expectations about what can be accomplished in one lifetime (or so I've been told), I like romantic comedies and airport reads, food might just be the greatest love of my life (after Salman Khan, of course). In general, I'm happy, loud, funny, compassionate, loyal, sensitive, eternally optimistic, wild, fun, and all in all pretty fantastic. To know me, I've learned, is to love me. My favorite quote: "People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, others may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough. Give the world your best anyway. In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway." My second favorite quote: “Beauty implies a good-sized body, and little people may be neat and well-proportioned, but can never be beautiful.” -Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics (Book IV, Chp 3)
