Rhapsody's StandOut® Profile

Hello, I am Karin--writer, poet, pacifist.

I attend MSU, majoring in chemical engineering. I am currently classified as a junior.
So far, I have pretty much had to pay my way through college--either I got lucky with scholarships or I personally paid my bills. I am not a spoiled little college brat whose parents have paid for everything--mainly because my parents could not afford it. I am a college student running off my own steam and working my way through college.
I don't work during the semesters that I go to college. I worked two jobs this past spring semester to save up enough for college, especially with the fear of not finding a job later this fall. (I co-oped with a company and worked in the mall.) I went to school this summer, and am now back at my co-op. I'll have a second job during the holidays too.

As a ChemE, I hardly find time for myself, much less a full-time or part-time job. So, like any college student, I struggle with finances and schoolwork. The semesters that I am at school are ones where I have no income and I have to live on what I tried to save up!

My goal is to one day end up in the history books for contributing...something amazing...to the world!

I'm also engaged to my high school sweetheart <3 We dated for 3 years, and then he proposed. Now we've been engaged for 8 months.

In my (rare) spare time, I love to play on my Nintendo DS, play computer games like Shaiya (RPGs), write fan fiction, write poetry, play with my dogs, listen to music, surf the web, read books, and watch movies. Favorite movie of all time: RENT!

I love the smell of rain. I also love to drive with my windows down and music up! ^_^

Oh yeah, and I have an obsession with peace signs. I have peace signs on a lot of things...clothes, jewelry, and even on my luggage set and wallet XD

<My picture is that of Sailor Neptune. Yep I'm sort of an anime nerd! Lol>
