Introduction

Hi everyone! My name is Claire and I am a junior here at the University of Oklahoma. I'm actually from Houston, TX so now I'm trying to get used to this winter cold!!! I'm studying Health and Exercise Science and hope to make it into grad school for a Masters of Science in Occupational Therapy. (Fingers crossed!!!)

Coming back from Christmas break I am just trying to get back into the swing of things. For the whole break we were either super busy or super lazy. In the beginning it was nonstop traveling all around Texas for different family events and then ended with a trip to Atlanta for the Peach Bowl. Of course I would be going to the University of Houston's (my dad is the biggest fan) bowl game instead of our own. And, for the last two weeks of break I just hung out with my family watching movies and going on walks with our dog Sophie! Well, more like my dog but they grew attached. She's a mini Australian shepherd and I've had her ever since I turned 16!

When I am not with my family and either here at school or just out of the house I like to go on as many adventures as possible. I always find myself on some new road trip or last minute decision activity all the time. The adventures could be just going downtown and trying a new ice cream shop or randomly driving out of town to go camping for the weekend. I never really know what next thing I will do ever. I like to listen to pretty much any kind of music as long as it fits my mood that day. I love movies and TV shows but make sure that I don't become addicted. When I watched the TV series Dexter or even Parks and Recreation, it was unhealthy how addicted I was and how many episodes I would watch a day. I love going to the movie theater but never want to pay for the ticket! They are just so expensive these days! Some other facts about me are that I love to swim, I like to read (for example: I've read all the Game of Thrones books), my favorite color is blue, "I Don't Want to Pray" by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros is my favorite song, I've never broken a bone, and I thoroughly enjoy a game of dominoes or cards or even just puzzles! Watch out though because I may get competitive during a close game.
