Hi. My name is Sophia Allen (they/them pronouns please!), and I have no idea what to say. I’m from Winston-Salem, North Carolina and am starting my second year at Butler. After this I would like to study abroad.

I am terrible at math and science, but am pretty good with languages. I can speak French, Russian and some Hebrew.

I basically spend all my free time on the internet, either watching YouTube videos or listening to music and scrolling through Tumblr. I mostly listen to Panic! at the Disco and Twenty One Pilots. I can play piano a little and am starting to learn drums and guitar.

I have a slightly unhealthy obsession with Harry Potter. I’ve read the books 17 times and will probably never get tired of watching the movies. I’m a Hufflepuff but have had some sort of merch from each house, except Slytherin, at some point. Other than Harry Potter, I like David Sedaris books, “Simon vs. The Homosapiens Agenda” and “Leah On The Offbeat.”

I love Japanese food and don’t like that I can’t get it here often, but that only makes it more of a treat when I do get it.
