bonjour.

oh no, another journal! what was I thinking?

My name is Stephanie. I'm a 20 year old student studying psychology and pre-med. I horde journals, I have a livejournal (which has been active for over 5 years) and a casual use tumblr. I'm looking to use this journal as somewhat of a private outlet. private in the sense that it's going to be completely different than what I use my livejournal for. I've had that journal for so long now that even though I've changed it holds so much memories that it can't change with me.

A little bit more about me: I'm really into music. Some may call me a scenester? I listen to Fall Out Boy, Panic at the Disco (they're my favorite band), Family Force 5, Cobra Starship, 3OH!3, etc. The list of music I listen to is so long and eclectic that it would take me hours to go through every artist I like. But, to generalize I worship at the altar of the record company Fueled By Ramen/DecayDance. I go to numerous concerts, I talk about music all the time. I have a music related tattoo. As you can probably tell, it's a pretty big part of my life.

The other big part of my life is obviously my schooling. I'm in college, living in a college town, participating in the college lifestyle. I'd like to say that I'm a little bit bigger than that? I did the time where I was a huge partyer and my grade suffered but now I'm not that person anymore. I'm really focused on getting to the next stage of my life and that includes not getting trashed every single day. With that said, I am kind of a clubber though and I'm not by any means straight-edge.

What else can I say...? I guess I'm just trying to figure out me. So, let's do this together.

*I don't know if I'm going to keep this public or private. We'll see.

more about me.

So, more about me. I like to talk about myself. I think I'm allowed to, in real life I don't really say much about myself unless its warranted.

Like I said, I'm a college student. I go to the University of South Florida. Not by choice, more like out of circumstance. Some stuff happened in my junior year of high school that made it necessary for me to stay in the state of Florida (but that's a whole 'nother story). I had big dreams of moving to New York and going to Columbia. But, nothing lasts forever.

So right, USF. I go there. I'm a Psychology major, Criminology minor on the pre-med track. It's a mouthful. Right now for me that means that I have aspirations of going to medical school and becoming a psychiatrist. I want to specialize in criminal psychology but I'm open for growth and movement. I love psychology mostly always have, but I'm not a big friend of science. I used to be, back when I had nothing else to do in life but go to school. But alas, priorities change and so do interests and although I've stuck by psychology, science has fell off into the abyss. I try to keep up, but science is really hard for me nowadays.

I'm taking summer courses right now. Technically, I'm a senior but I've only been in college 2 years. That's what happens when you forego a life in high school for academics. I don't regret that though, I'm going to graduate early. I'm taking Statistics, Organic 1, and Issues in Sports. The last one is an exit course, I don't like nor play sports.

To be continued...
