About Me

Mandi: I love coffee and books. I love music. I love smell of the air after it rains. I love the sound of the wind in the trees; of water flowing over rocks. I believe in love and second chances and that the best way to live is to pour yourself into other people. I believe that if we all stand up for what we believe in and hold nothing back, we could change the world. I talk too much, and more often than not say the wrong thing at the wrong time - but you can be sure of one thing - I always speak my mind. Life is messy, and the only way to get through it is to surrender it to God and trust Him. I laugh a lot, fall in love far too easily and spend most of my time with my head in the clouds. Beauty is everywhere, you just need to know where to look and when to stop and listen. I'm a student at the Master's College in California studying English. I want to be a teacher. Or a writer. Or an editor. Or a traveling journalist. Something that involves reading, writing and adventures. Or, none of the above. Someday I would love to get married and raise a family. Regardless I am determined to live my life to the fullest. I would rather say "oh well" than "what if?".
