A Standard Greeting From a Not So Standard Girl

Hello! I should probably introduce myself, and show you how unbelievably awesome I am, but I find that I always end up using the same “About Me” post for every site I join. I think I’ll start with that before I move on to the more mundane details of my life.

.

"You're looking at the introduction of a college student. A very conflicted college student at this
point. One who spends her days questioning the very reason she's sitting in a Sociology class that teaches her nothing, while there's an English class on Shakespeare three doors down. A college student who spends every waking hour trying to get ahead of the game, so that she can sit down and finally work on the book that has been growing inside her head for many years now

.

You're looking at the profile of a dreamer. A dreamer who believes that she can do anything provided she's given the tools to rise up to a decent challenge. A dreamer who has placed her trust in the mind that many people have complimented while others brushed it off as an overactive imagination. A dreamer who always wants to discuss the newest idea that has struck her fancy. A dreamer who has found people just like her, and feels overjoyed every time the topic of writing is brought up.

.

You're simply looking at the profile of a writer. One who wants to amuse you, and hopes that everyone finds something they like about her writing. Enjoy and let the story take you on an
adventure. "

Now I don’t normally ooze poetry- mostly because I absolutely hate poetry, but this just happened to be one of those things that popped into my head, and like everything else up there, it ended up on paper and later on the internet. Now, as promised, onto the more mundane and boring details of my life.

.

My name is Ren Kayashima, and I’m twenty years young. I’m a college student working towards a transfer to a university that hopefully wants me as much as I want to be there. I’m by no means brilliant like some of my friends here, but I’ve been told I’m above average, so I have that going for me, I guess.

.

I live in a quite home, with a quiet aunt, in a quiet neighborhood. I moved there about three years ago after my life was complete and utter chaos, and I knew that I needed to help myself become the person I knew I could be. I work at a law office answering phones, filing papers, sending faxes, and basically anythingthat would help the lawyer remain focused on the job at
hand so that in turn, I can get paid.

.

School wasn’t always the thing for me. Mostly because I felt the need to be everyone’s savior and ignore my own wants and needs. I ended up ignoring the one thing I loved more than anything else: knowledge. I let my grades fall because I simply didn’t care, and now I’m paying
the price by going to a community college.

.

I spend a lot of free time writing because that’s where my talents lie. I write a lot. It is no small hobby for me. In the past year I’ve used over 1000 pages of handwritten story lines, all for my own amusement. I write to keep myself from internalizing too much emotion. It’s a good way of
getting my thoughts out there.

.

Anyway, I look forward to getting to know you all.
