ABOUT ME & OTHER PLACES YOU CAN FIND ME

20-year-old English & American Studies major at the University of Maryland. I like Jawbreaker and I like whiskey.

“B is for Bethlehem, where Jesus was a fisherman/fishing right from the Devil’s hands…”* I used to be alexbaca (when I got on Tumblr in, you know, like, 2008), but then I changed my URL.  Whatever. Anyway, I’m a 20-year-old American Studies & English major at the University of Maryland-College Park.  I’ve lived in the Washington, DC metro area for my entire life, save for my freshman year of college, when I went to the University of Colorado-Boulder.  I talk about that year a lot, but the only thing I really miss about Colorado is the skiing.  Now, I live in College Park with my best friend and two legit sweet bros.  I do cool shit, like get sick internships at important organizations, and ill shit, like get hammered with the exclusive intention of getting on the Metro to eat at Ben’s Chili Bowl.  You are welcome to judge the level of professionalism this dichotomy indicates. Once upon a time, I was vegan, but I realized that I enjoy food more than I enjoy a lot of things.  I would have a disastrous shoe habit if I had a steady income.  I said I’d read 50 books this year and I’m racing toward the finish.  I hate vodka.  I love whiskey.  I love putting whiskey in things that probably shouldn’t have whiskey in them.  I hate sleeping in.  Cupcakes, flowers, and champagne make me happy and I have no problem buying them for myself.  Strawberries are my favorite fruit.  I really like public transit, mostly because it gives me some extra time to read a few more pages a day.  I like cities and I like buildings and I want to do cool things with historic preservation and planning when I grow up.  I also like real estate and creeping open houses on Sundays for fun.  If I drink coffee, it’s usually at least 16 oz.  The standard bits of American lit changed my life, just like they changed everyone else’s. Lastly, I always really wished I could get into yoga, but I’m too flexible already, so the poses bore me, and then I can’t clear my head to meditate.  I was way better at pole-dancing instead. *This is from a song by the Promise Ring.
