Affiliations

Time-management has become my secret power; being a full-time student and commuting five days a week to the city and back to my hometown, where I work part-time and help family financially and emotionally, has made me unstoppable. I enjoy journaling, reading nonfiction books about self-improvement, and seeking to gain insight into society in my spare time. I enjoy working out frequently and usually follow a strict gym routine. Music is my favorite notion and has a huge influence on my daily mood.
