There are a few contractually mandated questions that *must* be answered upon meeting someone at MIT, so let me get those out of the way in the style of a marching band introduction:
HI GUYS!!
(you say "HIII!!")
MY NAME IS ALLISON!!!
(you say "HI ALLISON!!!")
I’M FROM HAWAII!!
(*insert your cheers of affirmation*)
BUT NOW I LIVE IN BURTON-CONNER!!
(*insert more cheers*)
AND I'M A FREshmAN!!
(you say "FREshmAN!!")
***All freshmen reserve the right to ignore the “what is your major” question…
HOORAY! Thank you for your enthusiastic and completely voluntary participation :)
Anyways, aside from silly introductions, there’s a lot of things I’m interested in—fashion, physics, graphic design, space exploration, and expounding on the many merits of blue tape. I also have a troubling dependence on YA audiobooks, and the #1 reason I got my driver’s license was so that I could sing very loudly (and very badly) alone in the car. More than any of those, though, there are two things I love most: Spontaneous Silly Shenanigans(™), and the communities that have taken me under their wing. I’m going to have a lot of those kinds of stories to tell, so I hope you enjoy them too! (edited)
