About
This semester, the Spring 2016 semester, I will be starting my junior year at Canisius College, though I only began attending the school in the Fall 2014 semester. I only attended three years of high school, opting to skip my junior year, due to my exemplary academic performance, and I graduated in the summer of 2014 instead of the summer of 2015. Though I did graduate high school early, I was able to leave with 18 hours of Advanced Placement credits that Canisius was happy to apply to their school, therefore putting me a semester ahead, making me a junior this upcoming semester instead of the following. I am a Creative Writing major, and I take mainly Creative Writing and English classes, however I have also taken an interest in psychology and have pursued several classes in that area. Not only am I taking regular classes, but I am part of the Honors Program and take classes at an Honors level to fulfill additional requirements for the school.

Goals and interests
- Career goal
As an avid writer and reader, I intend to pursue a career that appeals to both of these interests: I would like to be part of the publishing industry and edit novels for authors, preferably in fiction, as well as publish some of my own novels, works generally of fantastical nature, and pursue a career as an author as well.
- Outside the classroom
In my life, my greatest joys are found in the various pursuits of art, though I enjoy literature above all else. I write my own stories, both novel and short stories, as well as poetry, mostly of a fictional nature, often in the genre of medieval fantasy, however I am known to dabble in realistic fiction as well. I enjoy reading both of these genres as well, spending most of my free time pursuing books. I also enjoy art of a more physical nature, that being drawing, painting, calligraphy, and - above all else - photography. I also enjoy making music, and I play the guitar as well as the ukulele and I am a fair enough singer, and if I deign to go out and about you are more likely to find me at a theater viewing a musical or at the local park for an outdoor production of one of Shakespeare's finest works than anywhere else.
