About Me
Married college student. Major is biology, minor is psychology. Hoping to get into vet school or med school after undergrad. Had RNY in August. Please don't send me any forwards or chain mail. I finally had to tell my own mother to knock it off when my work email was getting flooded. I don't want this to happen here too. Thanks!! =)

Open Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
i like to straighten. i also have dermatillomania, which is an offshoot of OCD. a few years ago during a really stressful time, i found myself doing stuff in the same exact order as the day before if i had a "good" day or it'd be cursed to have a horrible day.

Type: VeganI'm seriously considering becoming vegan. I don't eat a lot of meat right now, no milk, and no eggs.

I'm here for information.
