I never know what to say in these things, like I don’t know the highlights of my life?!... unless you count that halfway Carmel balayage I got for way more money than it was worth. Do I tell you my hobbies? My dreams? My physical appearance?(which is very fine I might add). Maybe I’ll just start at the beginning. I grew up in a small town where my free time consisted of reading Harry Potter and watching Kdramas. None of that necessarily changed, I just do a little more with my time now. After my oh so anticlimactic years of highschool I ventured off to where almost every young dreamer goes after they graduate highschool for no real reason other than to please their parents; College. College was a lot more climatic than highschool to say the least. I only got an associates degree but let’s be honest here, does anyone really go to college just for the degree? I also changed my major from theatre to biochemistry (huge mistake) causing me to fail miserably out of college and become a waitress for a year to racist white people in the middle of nowhere living on my sister couch. A new low, even for me. Needless to say Something had to give, so when dear old sis announced her news of pregnancy, I announced my news of joining the army; a commitment I am both relieved with and regret. So here I am hiding away in my lonely barracks room, writing out a fraction of my life’s story, trying to make a buck before Uncle Sam and I part ways and I have to go back to the big bad world where J inspections and 2 week army campouts look like a vacation on a brochure I’d never be able to afford.
