Hi. I'm Katie (as you prbably guessed from my display name. Lol). I'm 20 years old, and a full-time college student studying music. I was born and raised in Northern Illinois, and have lived there my entire life. I was banded on Monday, January 3, 2011. I honestly wish that I had found this place earlier. I have an awesome support system at home, but it would have been cool to hear about everyone's stories. You all inspire me .So, I hope to get to know everyone better, and I'm glad to have a place to talk to people about what I'm going through where people will understand me, because they've been there too. I'm going to look around here a bit more now, and start talking to people .
