About
Hello, I'm officially known as Hillary, though I completely loathe it at times. My nickname is Hills luckily though. I grew up in an awful town called Okemos, in Michigan, but I went to boarding school in Indiana when I was 15. That experience led me to absolutely love Indiana, just for the pure sake that I was away from home and living in the dorms with friends. It also opened my eyes to Chicago, which might be the prettiest city I've ever been in, next to San Francisco. I've traveled a lot in the U.S., and only have 10 states left to visit, but about 15 that I'd really like to explore. This past year I traveled around on the east coast for 5 months, then went to Chicago and then to Michigan and then took a road trip across the U.S. to California. I LOVE California. It's beautiful and perfect there even when it's rainy, which it rarely is. The only place I think I love more than California was France, though I wasn't there for long. I do love London, cuz I stayed there for 5 weeks over the past summer and I believe really got to experience it, but it just can't compare to Paris. I think I loved Paris so much though because I got to brush up on my ever decaying knowledge of the language... :(
Anywho, now I go to James Madison College at Michigan State University and I'm majoring in International Relations and Comparative Cultures and Politics. I hate the place but I love the school...

Simplicity Feb 19
Why can't life be simple anymore? Everything seems so difficult, and I'm starting to get sick of it.
