I'm Becky, a university student hoping to earn my degree and be a high school English teacher someday. Whenever I find some free time, though, I'd love to travel to Europe, particularly​ to the U.K. or France. I'd also love to write in my spare time, and try my hardest to be published and be successful with that. I'm a pretty simple person to please - I don't need much to be happy, so I just do my best and see where life takes me.

People around my age, 18-25 or somewhere in there.
And could you let me know when you bookmark my page? I'm just curious. :)

Soccer, tennis, running, writing, literature, music, swimming, basketball, etc.

Almost anything, and I'm always open to new music. Some favorites are The Beatles, Ingrid Michaelson, Vampire Weekend, Kate Havenevik, Feist, Damien Rice, Coldplay, Death Cab For Cutie, The Spill Canvas, The Hush Sound, Ben Folds, and Jack Johnson.

Garden State, Stranger Than Fiction, The Fountain, You've Got Mail, Breakfast at Tiffany's, The Science of Sleep, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Juno, and I just got to see A Very Long Engagement and thought that was very beautiful - always adding more to my list.

House, Lost, Grey's Anatomy, Gossip Girl

They change every now and then, but we read a lot of Shakespeare in one of my lit. classes, and I love history and general fiction. I basically read whatever peaks my interest.

A friend of mine gave me this quote a while back, and I guess it stuck:
"Succes​s: To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation​ of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived: this is to have succeeded!"​ - Ralph Waldo Emerson
