​Oh hey there!!! Let me tell you a little bit more about the weirdo whose site you're hopefully LOVING...

​

I used to think that life was all about success and finding your personalized grey cubicle in the enormous world of occupational lifestyles. What kind of a life is that? I have never wanted to simply drop off the face of the planet instantaneously. I wanted to be famous. So, in 7th grade, at the age of 12, I embarked on an epic journey to not only find myself, but also to find meaning in my life. Inspired by an out-of-the-box writing class, taught by an agnostic in a Catholic grade school, I knew it was time to start making changes. But I learned something very quickly; nobody takes a 7th grader seriously. This is when I became obsessed with overachieving. And thus my story begins.

​

I have been known as many things since I was a tot. Over-achiever, brown-noser, geek, photographer, nerd, personified awkward turtle, actor, bean pole, bigfoot, curious like a cat (that's why my friends call me​ Whiskers), athletically challenged, leader, dreamer, a starter log, inspirationally proficient, writer, baker, skier. Needless to say, I am over-involved. Boredom has never been an option for me. I adore making people happy and, while I could talk about my fabulousness for hours on end, I enjoy listening to the lives and times of people I encounter. Changing the world is my ultimate goal, although I am not sure how quite yet. My favorite rhetorical devices are alliteration and satire (especially when employing sarcasm). I once attempted to use “cookitive” as a word in my college essay to explain that I am an ardent baker. Unfortunately, Merriam Webster decided to reject my ingenious declaration. I hope you one day think I am as funny as I think I am. My future pet will be a sloth. With too many thoughts and ideas floating about, I choose to write rather than activate a filter. The mountains are my natural habitat but the city is where I thrive. The thesaurus and I are involved in a love affair. I make exceptionally serious moments severely lighthearted because they make me anxious. I am a passionate people person and live for “awkward turtle moments.” As you can probably decipher from my bio, I think that the greatest humor is that which involves the self and I frequently enjoy a lengthy chuckle with any person willing to gleefully giggle with or at me. It is likely that I will frighten you with my gregarious personality and my keen ability to laugh at inappropriate times. But I am Lindsey Mills, a self-proclaimed star.

​

In an attempt to define myself, I would say that I am a work in progress. Progression is exactly what I wish to achieve in this massive undertaking called life. I am determined to take the next step in becoming a passionate intellectual in order to avoid the drab grey shanty of the business world’s cubicled workplace. I am a dedicated worker, motivated by my distinctive quest for both knowledge and personal growth. I want to take advantage of this amazing world filled with bona fide potential and limitless possibilities. I do not want to be an ant roaming around the anthill with all the other ants doing the s a m e t h i n g every day losing myself in a colony of sameness. I desire contact, challenge, connections, and change in the years to come. Hopefully a desire that, when fulfilled, will enable and empower my inner-being. I want to be able to accept defeat while still persevering in difficult endeavors. It's progress. I wish to develop the means to be simultaneously creative, hilarious, and intellectual. I trust that by the end of my time here, my autobiography will not only have developed as a complete connection of the facets of my “self,” but also as a means by which people can truly understand the me that I am.
