My name is Emily, and I'm 19 years old. I'm half-American and half-Turkish. I have one biological brother who is 11, one half-brother who is almost 3, and two stepbrothers, 18 and 17. I have a mom, a dad, a step-dad and a step-mom. Yeah, I know, it's a little bit confusing, but it can be fun too.
I just finished my first year of university. My plan is to major in Political Science and to minor in French. My plans for the future are a little bit iffy because I'm always finding out about new professions, but right now I'd like to go to law school or get a master's in International Affairs. I'm really interested in international history and politics. My ultimate goal, though, is just to help people. I'd like to do humanitarian work in Sudan.
I have lots of friends, and even though I have a main group of friends that I spend a lot of time with, I like to change it up a bit and hang out with other people once in a while. It feels really refreshing to be around loads of people and to do a variety of things. I spend a majority of my time out on the town with my friends and staying out of trouble, of course.
I applied for Sweet Designs because I've always been sort of a writer and I enjoy sharing my experiences with other people. I also enjoy reading the other articles and learning about the other authors on the site. Most of all, I love writing for Sweet Designs!
I'm extremely independent and live life on my own terms. I live, for the most part, without regret. I'm loud and nosy, but I'm caring and kind. I love to laugh, and smiling most definitely has to be my favorite.
I listen to pretty much everything except for country, but even that has an exception. I have loads of favorite movies, but the top 3 would have to be V for Vendetta (the graphic novel is also really good), Forrest Gump, and Star Wars.
