Okay, so first of all, my blog is named "my arrested development" for two reasons. #1 - It's my favorite television show (RIP) #2 - The term arrested development itself is basically the idea that the development of a person is stunted, stopped, or...arrested. I took a year off before going to college and my development was somewhat arrested.
I live in Pelham, New York, a small town 30 minutes outside of New York City. I live with my parents, my sisters, and our Dalmatian. My older sister graduated from GW in 2007 and now lives in Virginia. My twin sister is a sophomore at GW and she lives on the Mount Vernon campus although we are both usually found together at the Gelman Starbucks or at my dorm on Foggy Bottom.
I went to high school at Convent of the Sacred Heart, a private all-girls school in Greenwich, Connecticut. I was supposed to be a freshman in 2006 but after I graduated high school I decided to defer my admission to college and take a year off. I went to London (St. James) for a while, and worked during the winter/spring. I also spent some time in Boston, Virginia and D.C.
But, I did promise my mom I would eventually go to GW, so here I am, starting my freshman year 12 months late.
