Fossil collecting
I love invertebrate paleontology!! I want to study Paleo in college. I've been involved with fossils for about 5 years now.
Nature walks and bird watching are so much. I love spending time outside.
I love music! I like listening to lots of different artists (some of my favorites are Elliot Smith, Bikini Kill, Fiona Apple, Fugazi, Pinback, Sleater-Kinney, Skating Polly, Amyl and the Sniffers). I like punk, post-punk, singer-songwriter, and riot grrl. I also like to make music! I played flute and piccolo in high school, and I'm debating auditioning for Umich's pep bands! I also play electric bass, although I'm not very good.
I love artsy things! Crafting, painting, journaling, drawing, ect. I also love buying and collecting stickers, and it's quickly becoming an addiction.
