Date a girl from California, United States. I'm a 23-year-old graduate of UC Santa Cruz, currently applying to nursing programs and looking to meet new people in the area. I think if you asked my closest friends to describe me, they would tell you that I'm a compassionate, kind, fun-loving, and good-humored person who is continuously seeking to better herself and the world around her. I am looking for a goal-oriented person with a sense of humor - because that, as well as honesty and respect, is what I value most in a relationship. I love volunteering my time to help provide service for those less fortunate than myself, and I also love exploring new places - museums, bars, hiking trails, beaches - with people who can find joy and humor even in difficult situations. Music is an incredibly important part of my life...I've played classical piano for 18 years, I participated in a youth symphony as a french hornist throughout high school, and since college I've started singing and playing guitar. I'm new to the world of online dating, but I'm hoping to find someone who shares similar views and ideals, and who loves to laugh and take things in stride like I do.
