| I'm extremely uninteresting. I'm your average college student, minus the alcohol poisoning and ashtray-breath. I'm way too awkward for my own good and I nurse a serious case of social anxiety. I like music and writing and taking hikes in the wilderness. I know, what kind of fat girl likes to take hikes? I'm all for shock-value. |
