Annie’D

 

I am 23 years of age. I spent the first 18 years of life in Wauwatosa, WI.

I have been in St. Paul for the last 4 years and would rather eat mouse droppings than move back to Wisconsin.

I have been to three other colleges, lived in three different states and 13 different residences (in the past 5 years). I am constantly seeking a maximum level of joy through occupation, education and living space.

After working full time in the Target Deli for a year during a hiatus from college, I decided that every venue of education had been disappointing because what I really wanted to do was go to art school. I have always been creative and I have always loved to put things together. In high school, I put together a whole portfolio in an independent study art class. I opted out of art school because I though I was too smart (really I was too scared). When I applied to CVA, everything fell into place and just felt right. Honestly I just liked how much it didn’t feel like college. I really like it here. I still don’t know what I want to do with my life, something with design. Most of the time I feel like I am missing a vital piece of the design puzzle but I have the zeal to continue trudging along. I have come to accept that I don’t know way more than I do know and that is ok.

I am a certifiable facebook creeper. I obsess over design blogs. I am easily the most addicted netflix user there is.

However, I love yoga, eating with friends and am an accomplished mover and shaker.
