I'm pretty dope.
Bio
Born in Jacksonville, FL, June 8, 1994 at 7:40 at night. In October of the same year, my family moved to Sanford, NC, a small town just outside of Raleigh. In 2000 we moved again to Charlotte, NC, where I spent a lot of my childhood and often consider my hometown. For high school we moved yet again to Thomson Station, TN, a growing town about 15 miles south of Nashville. The summer after high school my parents moved back to Jacksonville, FL, to be with family, and in the fall of that year, 2013, I started attending Emory University.
Current Involvements On Campus
In the Spring of 2014 I pledged and then was initiated into the Gamma Chapter of the Chi Phi Fraternity. Since joining, I have been elected the Chapter Zeta, or Historian and Ritual Master. I am also in charge of all of our social media, including managing our Facebook page as well as our website. Recently I put a lot of work into our website and am very proud of it. As well as that, I am the Chair of our Heritage and Traditions Committee and the Chair of our Brotherhood Board. Other than social activities, we participate in various community service trips and philanthropy events.

Interests
On my free time I like running (I wan cross country in high school), watching anime, playing chess (I played competitively from elementary school through high school), and hanging out with my friends across campus.
I really like cats, especially my cat, named Cat. We could never agree on a proper name so "cat" just stuck. He's a tuxedo cat, so whether he's makin' biscuits on your tummy or killin' another bird he's CLASSY AS FUCK.
Even though Captain Hook had a short life due to health complications, I put up a picture cause he's still adorable and I miss him every day. l"l ^.^' |
My favorite band is Pierce the Veil. You should also listen to Twenty One Pilots, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Walk the Moon (I saw them live and they were AMAZING), Underoath, and like a bagillion more. You can find me on spotify for some dope shit.
My favorite book would have to be The Picture of Dorian Gray, by Oscar Wilde. I love it for how well-written it it, the subtle and not-so-subtle homoerotic rhetoric in the book, and most of all the way it materializes a metaphor for one's internal struggle with oneself, between morality and individuality, plain good and evil, and external influence versus innocence. Such a tragic tale:

Such a tragic tale:
"The girl never really lived, and so she has never really died. To you at least she was always a dream, a phantom that flitted through Shakespeare's plays and left them lovelier for its presence, a reed through which Shakespeare's music sounded richer and more full of joy. The moment she touched actual life, she marred it, and it marred her, and so she passed away. Mourn for Ophelia, if you like. Put ashes on your head because Cordelia was strangled. Cry out against Heaven because the daughter of Brabantio died. But don't waste your tears over Sibyl Vane. She was less real than they are."
Some Words of Motivation
The people in my family are my best friends, my role models, my motivation. My triplet's and I are the first in our family to go to college, so I want to do my best to make my parents proud. I make a lot of mistakes, but I learn something new from each one.
So tell someone you love them today, cause in the end, that's all that matters. I like how Maya Angelou said it best:

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
