A Very Short Introduction

I am the type of person who will jump at opportunities to do new things. I look at the world with an open mind. Adventure intrigues me. Travel motivates me. Nature moves me. My name is Olivia Emmiline Lockett and the earth is my canvas. 

I may seem shy at first, but to my closest friends and family I am extremely outgoing. I like to have fun and try new things. Traveling is my favorite hobby. I love learning about new cultures and ancient histories. On average my family and I travel out of the United States every other year. I have been to Europe three separate times and to five different countries. That is not even half of the amount of countries that are on my to-do list. I am majoring in Spanish and hope to do multiple semesters abroad in Spain. 

Other than basically being a secret agent, I do have some normal hobbies. I have been snowboarding for several years now and I absolutely love it. I love the speed and the brisk air that comes with plummeting down an icy mountain on a plank of wood. When off-season comes around I turn my attention to the water. Although I learned to sail only a year ago it was one of the best experiences I ever had. It took a while to learn all the knots, points of sail and how to rig the boat but it was well worth the time.

When I’m not on the slopes or the sea I am most likely in my room. I love television, movies and video games. (I am such a nerd.) My sister thinks that I am a cinephile because whenever she can’t think of an actor or actresses name I am always there to help her out. With TV, movies and video games comes fan art and tons of it. I have always had a talent for drawing and I love anything to do with art and fashion--so much so that sometimes I wish I could dress people. I get most of my ideas from the internet or nature but taking trips to museums every now and then is very enjoyable.

I am somewhat of a picky eater. My favorite foods are butternut squash and anything that has to do with sweet potatoes. Being lactose intolerant and trying to become vegan means that there aren’t many foods that I actually can eat. Tree hugging is basically my side job. I love animals, including my cat Lilly, and the earth. As a Roman Catholic I believe God loves everyone and everything and that everyone should follow the same principles.

I hope to learn as much as I can from being in college and from the earth itself. I love my family, God and my friends and I love to do what makes me happy.
