A little bit about me:

I love to play and perform music (which is different from listening passively to music, which can also be enjoyable); I play all the woodwinds and sing. I mention this so people will understand my username, Scherzoso which means playfully.

I'm a 23 year old full time college student (which is a full time job, lol). I just graduated with my BA in Wildlife and Plant Science and now working towards a Masters. I am also active in my community both politically and apolitically. During the summer I work and try to explore nature as much as possible!

I love my family, my dogs (two border collies, a black/white and a brown/white, and one border collie, Aussie mix), and the outdoors. I really enjoy learning new things and smiling a lot!

please note: I just got photoshop for Christmas, so now I can use it!! I am so happy!

Here are a few of my favorite quotes:

Portia: "The quality of mercy is not strained, it droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven upon the place beneath." - William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice (<--- ♥ )

I love you as the plant that never blooms but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers... I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I know no other way than this, so close that your hand on my chest is my hand, so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep. - Pablo Neruda

"This planet is dazzling; it's beauty and originality surpasses all that I could have ever dreamed." - Me
