Oh hai. I'm an anthropologist. Nope, My career has nothing to do with bones, pottery, or dinosaurs.

Instead I'm this awesome 23year old gal focusing on community development in urban neighborhoods. I love learning about community development projects, homeless shelters, and public health initiatives.

When I'm not being academically awesome I enjoy picking the perfect postcard, paired with the perfect quote. Well that and I play non-stop volleyball, hiking, and playing the violin : )

All time favorite book? It is a tie: The History of Love & Haunted.

Books by: Chuck Palahniuk, Augusten Burroughs, Mary Roach, & Laurie Notaro.

Alice in Wonderland.Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime. Looking Glass Wars. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Harry Potter. We Need to Talk About Kevin. Brave New World. Lord of the Flies. A Long Way Down.

oh i can list what i love to read forever.

Of Monsters and Men, Florence and the Machines, The River City Extension, Awolnation, Flogging Molly, Flobots, Skrillex, Big D and the Kid's Table, Bad Religion, B.O.B, Neon Trees, Skinny Lister.

Need a discussion topic? I love watching Survivor (I've seen every season, I'm beyond obsessed).

The shows I actually keep updated with: Psych, Seinfeld, Are You Being Served? Grey's Anatomy, Once Upon a Time, The Office, Shark Tank, Dead Like Me, Parks and Rec., Meerkat Manor, Avatar the Last Airbender, & Dance Moms.

I'd honestly prefer just your favorite quote on the back of a card. I think a quote is all a postcard needs. Not that I don't care where you are from, what your weather is like, or what you do in life, but I'd rather know what quote inspires your life or just that day.

I really love getting mail, so don't worry. I'll most likely love whatever you send. but if you really want to make me gasp at my mailbox and run inside to rate you with a heart then here's a cheat sheet:

-keys & clocks (extra points if it is vintage) -Alice in Wonderland -Meerkats -Vintage Circus -Top Hats -Unique Stars -Balloons -Buttons

I guess I should mention my favorite colors are purple and green.

If it makes you happy it will make me happy buttttttt you can please keep in mind:

-I absolutely hate dolphins -I'm beyond terrified of birds -I'm not a huge fan of animal print -I don't eat peanut butter. -I think butterflies are ugly

-Please don't send your unwanted/used things. From experience: by this I mean don't just send me all those ugly postcards you don't know what to do with, the hat you've had forever but won't wear, the ribbon laying on your desk. I do like used second hand things. I love giving life to an item discarded, that might have died without me, but please don't get lazy and obvious with it.

Just.......think really hard, "If i opened this would I be excited?"
