I am currently University of Wyoming student who is diagnosed with a severe case of “senioritis” as she enters her last semester. The only treatment: graduation. I am working towards a degree in English and the Honors Program with minors in international studies and professional writing. My favorite type of shoes are boots, especially my skiing, snowboarding, hiking, and snow boots. With the wild Wyoming winters, my boots spend more time rambling through Vedauwoo, the Snowies, and Steamboat than they do sitting in my basement. What will I do after graduation? Well, you better keep reading my stories, and maybe in a few months, you'll find out....
