During the course of this blog I have rarely mentioned people specifically because I don't want anyone to feel taken advantage of or singled out.
However, I want to mention some people that I recently realized mean so much to me that I know I can always, ALWAYS rely on.
Rachel Bass, Kendal Newman, Sophie Solomon, Charlotte Exton, Miriam Duffy, Emily Paruolo, Clare Eichinger, thanks.
Yeah. I love you guys and I just felt the need for anyone who sees this to know that.

Les animaux.
First of all, a few people have been wanting me to update my blog. I haven't written in forever and it's getting on my nerves, but because I'm super busy and because I really SHOULD be doing French homework right now, I've just decided to use something that I already wrote. It's actually a college supplement. I know...WHAT?! A supplement? That could not POSSIBLY BE GOOD GIVEN THAT IT HAS TO DO WITH COLLEGE! Okay, well, first: calm down. Second, you might enjoy it! I'm actually fairly proud of it, and if people like this style of my writing then I may upload a few more. This specific supplement had a word limit, so it's fairly succinct. In the future, I'd kind of like to flesh it out so I can put ALLLLL the words I want into it! Anyway, enjoy! :)
Nowhere in my application was I able to address my love of animals. This love was instilled in me at a very early age by my family. We always had a variety of pets. One of my earliest memories is of my dad reading Gerald Durrell and James Herriot to my brother and me. Before I was even able to spell “hippopotamus,” I knew about the grooming habits of Asian monkeys and the length of a cow’s gestation period. As I grew, my love only increased when we adopted a stray cat. I desperately wanted to be best friends with her, and that feeling translates to today: I can often be found at a friend’s house sitting with the dog instead of with the people.
Sometimes I marvel that we humans invite animals like dogs, cats, lizards, frogs, and (only specific kinds of) snakes to live side by side with us. I am continually amazed by the sheer variety of animal life, and that amazement factors greatly into my love and passion for environmental science and “saving the world.” For instance, I’m just nerdy enough to get notifications via email about animal conservation. When I read them, I think about how the last thing I want is for children in the future to be reading the same books I was read as a child and wonder why the animals in them are no more.
Sorry this was such a cop-out of a post! I'll be better soon, I promise. And FYI:
