My sister, Alissa (left), and I (right).      

Intro:     

       Hey everyone, I'm Danielle. I originally lived in Streator IL, but as a pastor's kid, I've moved around on numerous occasions so it's probably easier to say I'm from Illinois and just leave it at that. I'm a Creative Writing and Business major and a sophomore. Ultimately, I want to be a book publicist/editor, but being paid for my own writing would be amazing. 
          
        I like to think of myself as a very artistic person. I love drawing and painting, as well as playing music (mostly piano and ukulele). I also write a ton and read even more (at least when I'm not being bombarded with papers and exams to prepare for). I also keep journals that are really colorful and artsy-fartsy. 

Favorites:

Musicians: Adele, The Lumineers, Twenty One Pilots, and Owl City. 
Movies: The Grand Budapest Hotel, La Belle Et La Bete, the Star Wars movies, and SO                           MANY others that I can't think of at the moment. Anything with a good story to it.
Books: The Book Thief, Room, Eleanor and Park, The Silver Linings Playbook, and The Kite               Runner.
TV Shows: Once Upon a Time (even though the writers are doing a terrible job lately),                                  Downton Abbey, Mr. Selfridge, Friends, and Parks and Recreation. Almost                                  anything, really.

Random Facts:

I make a lot of puns. I play video games ( mostly Skyrim, Undertale, and Don't Starve). I take a lot of naps even when I shouldn't. I love toads. a lot. If I was sorted into a Hogwarts house it would be Hufflepuff. I also eat peanut butter by the spoonful which probably isn't the best for me, but... protein, right?
