I've lived in Michigan my entire life and, as of late, I've been developing an increasing amount of pride in my home state. I'm a sophomore at Calvin College. I'm majoring in Sociology with a minor in Gender Studies, but currently, I'm also interested in Urban Studies. I really have no idea what I want to do when I graduate. I might move to Eastern Europe and raise chickens.

Next semester, I'm going to Hungary!

I work best with construction paper and Mod Podge, but I promise I'm not 5.

I love everyday, ordinary objects.

PLEASE let me know if you don't get something from me. I don't flake on swaps!
