place of origin: Westchester, NY

background info: I'm a little bit of everything. Band geek/choral geek, newspaper geek, Model UN geek, one of those crazy activists (gay rights and abortion rights), theatre geek, and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember.

why bard?: I chose Bard because it has everything I want in a school; small (but bigger than my HS of 800 students), personal experiences with teachers, a gorgeous campus, liberal, Leon Botstein (who is friends with my father), L&T, senior projects (both of which at first I was like, "WHAT?" and then was like, "those could actually be REALLY awesome." I'm now legitimately excited to write a senior project, though it seems daunting), it's a "hippie/hipster" school, it's artsy, it's close to my home (about 1.5 hours away). I think that's it.
