I’m a little outside my comfort zone posting a profile on a dating website, but I’ve had terrible luck in love and relationships and figured it wouldn’t hurt to give it a chance.

(If you write me a message that says "hey watz up" or "wanna chat" the answer is nothing and no. First off it's "what's" and "want to", I'm a slight stickler for grammar and punctuation. I'm also aware that my profile is very long, but perhaps I'm just trying to weed out the guys who can't or don't like to read considering it's no longer than a page in a book. )

- I’m a 24-year-old graduate student in political science. I’ve spent the last 5 years of my life studying nothing but politics so I’ll apologize in advance for being opinionated :)
- I’m not really into the bar/club scene (alcohol makes me talk way too much about asinine subjects that at the time I of course find to be very important such as my love for 7-Eleven and the superiority of the Slurpee to the Icee) and I would much rather stay at home and rent movies or even play video games (old school Super Mario Bros and Sonic the Hedge Hog still hold a special place in my heart)
- I love road trips and they just aren’t the same without multiple convenient store stops for beef jerky (teriyaki please), ranch cornnuts, slim jims, etc. And yes I’m aware these foods make the car stink, but I’ve tended to find that the smellier the car, the better the trip (It’s not an exact science, just a hypothesis I’ve formulated over the years), but if you are one of those guys who is OCD about your car we can always just get a rental, or invest in a giant bottle of febreze
- I love the beach, but I can’t swim and have no intention to ever learn, I doggy paddle just fine.
- I also love hiking but I’m a bit of a klutz so it’s inevitable that at some point I’ll trip over a rock and fall, or often times an imaginary rock but I will swear up and down that something was actually there to cause me to trip.
- My German Shepherd is the love of my life so you must love dogs, or all animals for that matter (except for those bugs that look like sticks and leaves, they creep me out so you don’t have to like those)
- If the movie "All Dogs Go to Heaven" turns out not to be true, then I don't want to go
- I have an irrational fear of ghosts and aliens (I guess I’ve watched way too many horror films and X-Files episodes)
- I can’t cook and am all about top ramen and cup of noodle (I’m honestly surprised the sodium content hasn’t killed me yet), but I’d love to learn
- Popsicles are better than ice-cream
- Sometimes I eat fruit loops with red gatorade instead of milk (don't knock it till you've tried it!)
- My favorite store ever by far is Costco (and don't try to convince me that Sam's Club is the same thing or just as good, because it's not)
- I have a crush on Jim from The Office (and I'm not going to lie, sometimes Dwight too)
-I'd rather eat at a hole in the wall than a fancy restaurant any day and I'm definitely not afraid of a good taco truck (and if you have no clue what I'm talking about then you are seriously missing out)
- I’ve never been on a plane (another irrational fear, but I’ll get over it…or just take a sedative), but I’m dying to travel and I am hoping to visit Japan soon (something about a country that has one vending machine for every 23 people fascinates me)
- When I die I want to be cremated so that I never become a zombie
- I’m not your typical girl when it comes to movies, some of my favorites are The Godfather and The Godfather: Part 2 (please don’t mention part 3, I like to pretend it doesn’t exist), Goodfellas, Pulp Fiction, and American Psycho. I’m also strangely proud of the fact that I’ve never seen a single Star Wars movie (I’ve seen Spaceballs and Family Guy’s version of Star Wars and that’s good enough for me)
- Wow, I totally made myself sound like a couch potato who lives off of junk food and processed meat haha. But in reality I do eat really healthy most of the time (which isn't very fun) and work out about 4 times a week (I love running with my dog and need someone to help me hold her back when she tries to eat chihuahuas at the park)

I’m aware that this is a total jumble of random facts about me, but I didn’t know what else to write and I figured this would give you a somewhat accurate portrayal of my personality and who I am, so I guess that’s about it :)
