English major
I am particularly interested in my philosophy classes.
I am from Watchung, NJ Reading is my favorite pastime,especially when I have lots of free time. My favorite book is "The Last Convertible" by Anton Myrer. My father had recommended this book to me many years ago, but it was not until this past summer that I decided to pick it up and begin reading it, and it is now my favorite book! I also really enjoy poetry, my favorite poem is "The Love Song of J. Alfred Pruflock" by T.S. Eliot. My favorite quote is from the website storypeople.com. My roommate had this quote written out and posted on her wall and I instantly fell in love with the quote. The quote is called "True things":
"They came to sit and dangle their feet off the edge of the world and after awhile they forgot everything but the good and the true things they would do someday." My favorite hobby is dance, specifically ballet. From sixth grade to senior year of high school I was very dedicated to my dance classes and even loved performing throughout the year. Another one of my favorite hobbies is running long distance. I also ran cross country in high school and love going for long runs outside. |
