I like to spend as much time outside and in the sun as I possibly can. I really like helping people and I hope to teach Chemistry someday at the collegiate level. I love to travel and I'll hopefully be student-teaching in Ireland soon. I'm always up for trying anything new, whether its a new type of food (I just recently tried Ethiopian), new music, going somewhere different and random. Right now I just want to finish undergrad so I can go on the graduate school. I'm slightly type-A yet I'm always very calm. I can level with just about anybody and love learning about other people. I try to make the most of any situation every day and I'm a big proponent of optimism. I don't take anything for granted. I'm looking for someone who is ready for a mature relationship--at this point in my life, I could use one and I have a lot to share. As far as music goes,I listen to country, alternative, 90's, tons of indie and experimental, Christmas music, broadway, folk, bluegrass, rock.

On a first date, I would really just love to talk over coffee or a drink. I'm a big fan of tiny pubs or eclectic coffee-houses.
