My birthday is January 11 and I am 18.
I live in Hillsboro Kansas, which is where I am currently attending college, so as you can guess, I live in a dorm room.
Hillsboro is a small town of maybe 3,500 (when college isn't in session) in the Flint Hills region of Kansas, and we sit at the top of a large hill. Our sunsets are almost always many shades of pinks, reds, and oranges. The best sunsets are during Tornado season with all its storms. Then the thunderheads can be pinks, reds, or oranges with lightning as an added bonus. If the storms are severe enough and the clouds are black, they'll get an eeire orange glow. Being in Kansas, we have a ton of wheatfields all around town. The smell of wheat permeates the town during harvest. Hillsboro is a very sports minded town. We have a sign with all our state championships won listed on each main entrance into town. They had to make those signs twice as large recently. We're very proud of both the high school and college teams. When I am not writing, I am running, hanging out with my friends, or watching CSI, and if it is summer, Burn Notice.
