Hobbies
I am and avid reader and movie-goer. My favorite series is The Lord of the Rings, both movie & book, but I enjoy watching and reading just about any genre. When I have the time, which unfortunately is in short supply right now, I thoroughly enjoy gaming on both console and PC. I love anything science related, whether it is physics or biology, and I try to read at least one science article a day to stay up to date on any new findings. More recently, I have become interested in politics in order to be a more educated member of society so I can contribute to the democratic process. I consider myself a nerd, as you can probably see from above. However, I am also an athlete. I grew up playing soccer, football, track, and basketball and even went on to play football at Millikin. I continue to exercise as much as possible and eat healthy.
