Favorite Quotes:
"Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and then go do that. Because what the world needs is more people who have come alive." -Harold Thurman Whitman
"Is ice hockey hard? I don't know, you tell me. We need to have the strength of a football player, the stamina of a marathon runner and the concentration of a brain surgeon. But we need to put all this together while moving at high speeds on a cold and slippery surface while five other guys try and kill us. Oh yeah, did I mention that this whole time we're standing on blades one-eighth of an inch thick? Is ice hockey hard? I don't know, you tell me. Next question." -Brendan Shanahan

Random:
I'm currently a freshman in college. My majors are Biology and English with a concentration in creative writing. I play for the women's club ice hockey team at school, and it's my favorite thing of life. I've been writing since I was nine, but I started taking myself seriously when I was a junior in high school. My most recent work is Skotadi, which I've spent the most time on. Everything else is about half a year old, from my senior project in high school. I have no idea what I want to do with my life, but I will always continue writing.

Much love,
Katy
