Born in Washington, D.C. in May of '88, I was raised in Falls Church, Virginia. After slouching my way through high-school (but managing 5s on every English AP I took and a near perfect on the SAT writing) I attended the University of Oregon in Eugene, Oregon for two semesters. I'm currently on hiatus from school and as such, writing up a storm. Though some of my pieces are tragic, there is almost always a point to the tragedy.
