Assignment 1- Brittany

Hi! My name is Brittany Graul and I generally go by Brittany, except a few people call me Britt and one person calls me "Bean" for reasons still unknown. I have always loved playing soccer. I started playing when I was 3 and I never looked back. I'm also on the varsity soccer team for Henry Clay (Go Blue Devils!) in addition to a club team. Soccer takes up much of my time so what time I have left I use to read. You could say I'm obsessed with books. On many occasions I’ve stayed up all night just to finish a book despite having school the next day, which makes coffee a great friend of mine. I'm constantly in bookstores and I'm pretty sure that I'm at Joseph Beth, a favorite of mine, so often that some of the workers know me. If I could do anything I wanted, I would live in a bookstore. I'm always looking up release dates on new books and stalking (I'm not creepy just passionate) my favorite authors on social media. Just a few of my favorite authors John Green, Marie Lu, Marie Rutkoski, Cassandra Clare, Jane Austen, Ernest Hemingway, Maggie Stiefvater, Tahereh Mafi, Laini Taylor, Stephanie Perkins, Kristin Cashore, Suzanne Collins (I'm a Hunger Games freak), J.K. Rowling, Veronica Rossi, and Veronica Roth. Believe me, I could name many more but then we would be here for days. 

I'm that weirdo who can spend hours on Netflix watching shows and movies and then suddenly look up and realize that an entire day has passed. I can pretty much watch anything. If I like a movie I can just keep watching it. That is especially true for any kind of superhero movies. I'm a total superhero nerd. A personal favorite is Iron Man, but it could be Spiderman, Superman, Captain America, Thor, you name it and I'm absolutely obsessed. If I could have any superpower I wanted then I would definitely want to fly. I know it's not very original, but I think it would be so awesome. When I’m not watching movies, playing soccer, reading, or anything else, then you can bet I’m hanging out with my friends (I promise I have them.)

If you ever see me walking down the street I will most likely have headphones or earbuds on, listening to music. Some of my favorite artists are Imagine Dragons, Bastille, Ed Sheeran, Mumford & Sons, Parachute, The Cab, Coldplay, Neon Trees, the 1975, Passion Pit, The Lumineers, Florence + the Machine, and Passenger, Also, big dream of mine is to one day go to medical school and become a surgeon. I love anything to do with medicine. In fact, this summer I volunteered at a hospital for several weeks and I can honestly say it was a great experience. However, considering how much I love to read I would also jump at the chance to work in publishing. I guess we will just have to wait and see!

Here is one of my favorite websites:

I highly recommend this channel, which just so happens to be run by John Green, one of my favorite authors, along with his brother Hank! Another favorite channel of mine is JacksGap.
