Emberdancing, 30

My name is Emily and I'm looking for either friendship or something more. I'm a first year college student and would like to meet somebody, but there's no pressure and I'm certainly not looking to get married or anything. Just someone to enjoy life with for however long, especially when life gets lonely. I'm a friendly enough person even if you're not looking for a date, so I'm happy to talk to just about anybody.
As for me, well it's awfully hard to describe myself because I'm rather biased on the topic. I'm fairly shy but not once you get to know me, and I definitely need my alone time and personal space. I love conversations that go deeper than the weather and the latest Hollywood trends and thoughtful people to match. I'm a vegetarian and can be something of a tree-hugger, but I'm a very open minded person in general. I don't know what I want to do with my life, so I'm just working my way through a general studies associates so I can transfer. I love to travel, nature, writing and reading, photography, staying in, animals, stormy weather, puzzles, junk food, and a whole bunch of other lovely things. I'm making friends and whatnot at my school but I'm not really meeting anyone of interest, and I'm willing to give this whole online dating thing a try so feel free to contact me!
