I am currently in school studying Electrical & Computer Engineering, and I am considering a higher degree in Computer Science. I love math and the sciences and have a huge interest in physics and microbiology, in addition to my lifelong love for computers. I love gaming, though I've fallen out of it quite a bit in the past few years. I currently only play PC games, with an emphasis on RTS games and MMORPGs. I grew up playing the 90s RPGs, and wouldn't trade that time for anything. I consider living through those games a huge piece of what defines me now. Despite being a huge science/technology person, I'm probably more naturally gifted when it comes to English and writing.
The only artist I've ever stanned for is Lady Gaga, and she represents the moment I began to pay attention to the workings of the music industry. I absolutely adore Taylor Swift, and she has a special place in my heart. I love all types of music, but the majority of my plays probably fall under pop and alternative rock. A few of my favorite songs of all time are All Star by Smash Mouth, I Summon You by Spoon and Fifteen by Taylor Swift.
Books like The Catcher in the Rye and Atlas Shrugged have special places in my heart, even though I might not like them as much as I once did.
I used to be so sure that I wanted to change the world by doing this and that, but nowadays I'm not so sure what I meant by that. As a high school student, I was rebellious and bored with the curriculum. As a college student, I struggle to hold onto my passion for learning. I'm somehow disappointed with it.
The Sandlot is my favorite movie of all time and I only ask people to watch it with me when I feel like they are sufficiently special to me.

Nice to meet you, Tyler! Your post gave a lot of insight as to who you are, and I appreciate it. I really like the distinction you made between who you were in high school and who you are now. Time definitely changes the way we see the world. P.S. I absolutely LOVE The Sandlot. :] Such a great movie!

Hi Ricardo! Only 17 and already having dreams of being a Biomedical Engineer! I'm impressed. I'm curious what the mural on your wall looks like. Do you have a picture?

I LOVE to cook and watch food network (step aside Rachel Ray and Paula Deen... I stan for the Queen, Ina Garten  ) I also love Rihanna, Beyonce, Chris, Katy, Britney... and a lot more.

Hi Ryan! What are you studying at school? I'm about to graduate myself. I haven't typed my bio here yet, but I'm going to do so shortly. So you cook, huh? What are some of your favorite things to cook? Also, I'm glad you were finally able to come out. Knowing for so long but still having to hold it in is very draining.

You have a beautiful name, Kiara! So you're about to have five kids!? That's quite the handful. How do you handle it? You must be a great mom!

Hi, my name is Raychel (in real life)  I'm a nice, loving, caring individual. I may come across hard on here at times, but I'm really not. I love to make people happy.  Singing is my passion, I write songs, and I can play the piano. I also have a stong passion in writing, formal and informal. I want to become a journalist, if I cant become a singer. I also don't mean to offend anyone with my assertiveness, sometimes I come across as a bitch, mostly about artists I dislike, chris brown being in the forefront. I'm sorry if I offend his stans, half of the time that's not what I am out to do. I just STRONGLY dislike him. I also love musicals like rent, hairspray, chicago, and HAIR.
I'm in school now, I'm studying journalism. I think that's it. Oh, and I love all the faves in my list more than anything 
|
Raychel, I know full well the trend of coming across differently on ATRL. I try to be respectful to everyone here, but I still find people thinking I'm either fake or a bad person. I'm definitely with you on singing. It's a HUGE passion of mine as well. I'm also a bit envious of your ability to play piano. I like messing around on pianos, but I've never had lessons. Maybe someday... 
I also have a passion for writing, lol. I wrote for my school newspaper through high school, and the teacher was very strict about it and treated it like a job. I also declared Journalism as my major when I first got into college. I've since changed my major to Interpersonal & Small Group Communication, but I love writing. I aspire to be a novelist, though. Journalistic writing is very different.

I'm really serious, apathetic, very unhappy and with the time, more silent.
I wanna be a doctor (cardiologist, especificly) but I really doubt that I can. :-/
I tried to killed myself 3 times in the last 2 weeks because I feel tired of life, people ignored me (even in ATRL) constantly, my friends feel shame of me, because Im not gay, but I'm kinda ladylike (I don't know if I wrote right, i hope the idea will be understood). I don't have comunication with my family.
In other words, the music is my company, because I'm alone. u.u
|
Be strong my friend. Everybody feels tired of life at some point but trying to kill yourself never solve the problem. if people don't see the good in you, that's their loss. i bet there are people in your life that care about you.

I'm Tatianna. I am 15 years old. I'm a female and heterosexual. I live in Houston, TX.
I'm Homeschooled but don't talk much about it online. I just tell you and drop it.
I love Beyoncé and Utada Hikaru. Those two may be my favorite artists of all time. I love Adele, Lady GaGa, Nelly Furtado, Slipknot and Mariah Carey. I enjoy Christina Aguilera's music but I would never stan. I haven't listen to any Britney Spears other than a few songs so I can't say much about her music.
I enjoy most of Rihanna's songs. My favorite album from her is Good Girl Gone Bad. I don't hate her like most claim Bey stans do but I will drag her in the name of my fav(s).
I am a WWE/Wrestling Mark. I enjoy learning about wrestling and talking about it with others. My fav wrestlers would have to be Melina and Edge.
I also love Video Games. Red Dead Redemption and the Mario series are some of my all-time favs.
I also love manga. Naruto and Bleach are the only ones I read but I'm open to others.

|
Tatianna, I see where you got your username from. I do respect the fact that you keep much of your private life (i.e. being homeschooled) to yourself. That's a very Beyoncé thing to do, and it's also quite admirable. You also have eclectic tastes, which is great! I'm a fellow Bey stan and, like you, I like Rihanna as well. Everyone thinks Bey stans hate her, lol, but there's no doubt she puts out incredibly catchy pop music.

Hi guys and gals! I'm 21 and I'm a radio/tv major in college, but my main focus is film. I'm gonna be a movie director. It's been my dream ever since I was 10 years old. One of my hobbies is DJing/mixing, tho I haven't done it in awhile. I hope to get back into that soon. I also write lyrics. I'm very passionate about film and music.
My favorite vocalist/entertainer is Beyoncé. Other artists I run to are Bat For Lashes, Santigold, and Kate Bush. I listen to far more than these 4 artists, tho. My favorite tv shows are Being Human (US), Supernatural, Law & Order: SVU, Dragon Ball Z, Dexter, Yu Yu Hakasho, Queer as Folk, and Noah's Arc. I hate reality tv. I love all kinds of movies, but I'm just gonna post my favorite horror movie: John Carpenter's Halloween.
Other things about me:
I ran track in high school
I'm a quiet observer
I'm shy
My favorite book is The Black Dahlia
I love babies
I love to daydream
I love to write
I can detect lies pretty easily in person
Just ask if you wanna know anything else, lol.
I'm generally nice and I tend to avoid drama in real life and on the Internet. So you'll rarely catch me in a ******** stan war and you'll rarely catch me talking **** about any celebrity.
|
I can definitely relate to your dream of wanting to be a movie director. I've held a similar dream of becoming a young adult fantasy/fiction novelist, and I won't let anything get in my way. Are there any particular types of films you'd like to direct (perhaps horror? ). I love horror films, though I like ones that really make you think, so I guess I lean more toward psychological thrillers.

LOL! I dont really see you around that often, but you dont bother me, you seem nice  That's great that you sing too! Theres some beautiful singers on here as well, I hope to hear you soon. Haa at you being envious, I'm not really that special at it. I only know about two chords  I mostly use it to create melodys for my songs,  And I wrote for my school newspaper too!!! It was awesome, I loved it so much. It definitly made me realize what my passion really was. And yes, it's different, I also find it challenging, but really that's what makes me enjoy it more.

I've looked through some of your wall posts with other members and know that you like to keep up an image of mystery... So I think this goes along with your "master plan" to keep the true you a secret.

I'm here for Gaga, i'll listen to some of the others but not nearly as much
It's my senior year and I have no idea what I'm doing with my life, not really doing anything right now
my grades suck, have no friends, stressing out like crazy at the moment, nothing going for me, etc etc thinking of ways to disappear for a while, until then...

I can definitely feel you on stressing out. I'm actually about to graduate from college, and I have no idea what I'm going to do once I finish and have to start paying back my loans. There's time though. We're still young, and we'll figure things out sooner or later. Perhaps someone or something will come along to inspire you.

I am Shawn. I live in the best city in the world and I love Beyoncé. I'm 15 years old.  I am funny, amazing, intelligence, and augmentative (something I've probably have gained from Debate). I love technology, cars, and other stuff. I'm Bi and I love it. I enjoy spending time with friends, listening to music, and just doing fun spontaneous things.
I HATE CHILDREN. Sweet lawd....I went to see Lion King 3D today, them ugly brats wouldn't shut the **** up and stop being a damn nuisance.
I'm a nice person once you get to know me.

Sometimes their stans get me mad so I drag their fave, but I never mean it.
I'm into art and I plan to study at NYU next year. I write music, and am venturing into producing music.
I'm also into fitness and health, and am a dancer who hopes to one day be a back-up dancer for a famous pop star. 
So I'm basically a dreamer, but I plan on achieving some. I also want to see the world.

Omg. I'm 17 as well O______O. I'm gay though

I rock a Bey icon and username because it's fun seeing all the lesser posters drag Bey into their argument when I make a valid negative point about their fave and they aren't able to take. Kelly Clarkson is my true Queen, so I obviously don't care much about chart topping and success (#shade). I love every popstar out there but I WILL speak my very opinionated mind on them and you will not like it.
I'm going to school for graphic design and advertising. But I hate being ties down to one thing, so I'll likely finish this and grab two more majors. I love travel. and... that's it.
xoxo

Lol, it's SO true that people try to bring Bey into unrelated arguments, but I like the way you play that game. Kelly Clarkson is amazing too. have you given thought to what you want your other majors to be? Also, where have you traveled to and where would you still like to travel?

I'm Robbie, I'm 13, and I came out as bisexual last May, though pretty much everyone around me has told me I'm too young to know my sexuality.
I often end up causing trouble, but I do want to be able to get along. I guess I just try too hard to fit in. I mean, everyone wants to be able to fit in. I want to.
I get bullied a lot, and I normally just deal with it. I love writing stories (usually realistic fiction, but I've been doing fanfictions and horror stories more often now), and I sometimes write some songs just for myself. I sometimes feel like I'm trapped in the wrong body, and by that I do not mean I feel like I should be a girl. I often feel like I'm too young, physically, for my emotional state, and some people I know have said it as well, though that just might sound... bad.  I'm a bit of an outcast in my school, mostly for being bisexual.
I'm stuck in an interesting situation for living: My mom lives in the city of Chicago, and my godfather lives in a suburb of Chicago. I live with my godfather on the weekdays to go to school there, and I visit my mom on the weekends. I get bullied anywhere I go, though it's a bit better in the suburbs than it has been in the city.
Whatever. I normally try to just find friends anyway. 
|
Hi Robbie! It's definitely annoying having people tell you you're too young to know your sexuality. I have to disagree with them, haha. I see you like writing. So do I! I want to write novels.
Also, as for feeling like you're trapped in the wrong body, I feel that way too... Even though I love certain things about my life, there are times where I wish I existed in a different reality... If you keep being yourself, which I'm sure you'll do, I think life has some great things in store for you!

Hi.
I'm Kristin, and I'm 19 from a small town in Minnesota. I have a twin sister. I am currently studying Laboratory Science in college.
I obviously love Lady Gaga, but I really like country music as well. Especially Kenny Chesney, Rascal Flatts, and Shania Twain. Harry Potter ***** on lives. V for Vendetta is my favorite movie. I have worked as a lifeguard for 5 years and help my parents run a resturant/bar. I love sports. Any sport, but especially basketball, volleyball, and softball.
And yeah.

Lol. Lately I've been dedicated to running ATRL's Next Top Member in the games section, and I've been busy with school during the rest of the time so I haven't been EVERYWHERE on the site like I sometimes am. I'm not the most well-known member either, but I've made contact with a lot of great people here and it's those people who keep me coming back.
I do have some singing videos on my YouTube channel (ExtraChapstick), but I haven't really done as much for a while because I've been busy. I still wish I could at least play a couple chords on a piano though. 
I bet you're a great writer, by the way. I am well-versed in the methodology of journalistic writing, and I really respect it, I'm just drawn toward writing that allows me more expression and imagination. That's why I personally lean toward fiction.
