Introductions are Always Awkward

Hellooo


Welcome people - I’ve never had a blog before so the whole idea of me writing about myself on a website other than Facebook is still pretty bizarre to me. But just like I became one of the millions of obsessed users on Facebook I’m sure I’ll learn to fall in love with my ‘blog’ as well. My name is Ashley and I’m from Chicago – the actual city. I was born and raised in the city and because of that I’ve learned to love and appreciate diversity in every sense of the word. I’m a Junior now at U of I majoring in Political Science. My secondary studies are foreign languages and they are really my true passion. In my collegiate career I’ve studied Arabic and Spanish...I guess I can attribute some of my passion for languages to my own cultural background. I’m a rather rare combination I would say – Italian and Pakistani – and this bi-polar mixture of East and West has helped me to become extremely culturally in-tuned and open-minded. I studied abroad in Dubai, United Arab Emirates this past summer and it was the best thing I’ve ever done in my life!


As far as my favorite websites, they’re pretty unimportant and almost completely useless. The first thing I do when I sign on is open about five websites all at once (I'm severely ADD): Facebook, Perezhilton, People Magazine, my online banking account, and BritneyExperts. Told you.
