I finally got around to creating a personal blog. I really enjoy reading my friends' blogs, especially those who I do not see very often. So hopefully, they can also find some joy in following the events in my life.

I really don't know how to start a blog, so bare with me as I sum up my life in a nutshell:

• I am finishing up my junior year at the University of Redlands.
• I am majoring in computer science, and minoring in math (this should explain the post title).
• I turn 21 in August, and I have never had an alcoholic beverage (a lot of people seem to have trouble understanding this).
• I love cats! I would become a crazy (coding) cat lady if given the chance.
• I was born and raised in Southern California, and I love it!
• I used to hate traveling, but now I'm becoming more fond of it. Outside the U.S., I've been to England, Scotland, and Japan. (France is coming up in a month!)
• My family and friends mean a lot to me. I am lucky to have such wonderful people in my life.
• I also happen to be pretty fond of my boyfriend, Will. Two and a half years, and still going strong!
• I will always love and and remember my sister, Sarah Marie.
• I'm ready to see what life has in store for me. A lot will change after I graduate next year...

I'm sure the people who are reading this already know most or all of this information, but maybe it will be fun to go back in a year and see how my life has changed. I shall now leave you with this adorable picture that makes me smile:
