Hi all, you can call me Wraith, since that's the username I use around here. I'm an Arts student, doing three degrees at once, kind of like a triple major. My three majors are Communication&Media, English Literature and Psychology. For now, I love all three subjects, and have no idea which path I'll pursue when I actually need to make that choice. I'm staying in another state with two other roommates, who are from opposite ends of the country, so it's a very diverse room that I have.

I'm turning 18 tomorrow, April 1st. Now, considering the unfortunate date of my birth, I've had very turbulent birthdays. The pranks played on me range from fake birthday cakes to trick candles to sucker-punch gift boxes. The good part is that I've now become very good at finding out tricks before they actually happen
But since this is the first time in my new university with entirely new friends, it's my fifth birthday all over again.
Interests:
For outside activities, I love long distance trekking, mountain climbing paragliding and water skiing. I do not play any sport actively, but I do know how to play football...theoretically. I also play badminton and ping pong from time to time. My favorite arcade sport is air hockey, which I never fail to play when attending a party at any sports bar.
I love watching movies and TV shows. I cannot name favorites among movies, but a few of the TV shows I like are Friends (old, I know) , Big Bang Theory, Castle, Game of Thrones, Criminal Minds, Lie To Me, and House. I like Lie to Me especially because it's based on the findings of one of my favorite psychologists, and let's face it, most of us would love to know when the other person is concealing something.
I have a very broad view of music. I really don't think any band can keep churning out high quality songs every single time, nor do I believe that an artist can stay crappy forever (Justin Bieber and Rebecca Black are trying to change that, just my personal opinion) So, I have songs from a large variety of artists, covering a lot of genres too. I don't pick favorites, everything on my playlist is something I like.
I love reading fiction. I've covered almost all categories. Some of my favorite books are The Bartimaeus Trilogy, His Dark Materials, The Inheritance Cycle, Robert Ludlum books, Clive Cussler books, and a lot more. Y'all will kill me if I don't add Harry Potter here, but the truth is that while I think it's an awesome series, it doesn't place in my top 5 favorites
Shocking, I know.
Hobbies:[/u]
Well, I like to do image editing, though I'm not very good at it. I do some writing, I spend a lot of times with my friends at college, I preach against studying for exams, mainly because I have not the patience for it, I participate in dance events (mostly group dances), and every Saturday I help a program called E-Football which aims at teaching specially-abled children better motor skills and road skills.
Roleplaying:[/u] It was suggested to me by a friend in order to help build my writing skills, since I've always been fond of English. I started off with Inheritance RPs, as that was the series I was currently reading. That was six years ago, and I continued to stick to Inheritance RPs, with the occasional change, since I felt Inheritance offered me the best scope for free writing. This board is something I've joined after a break of about one and a half years, so I am VERY rusty. Be patient with me ;D
