Late to the party, but hello, everybody! I'm a 20 year old aerospace engineering student at the Naval Academy here in the States. This site attracted me because you all seem to be a tight knit group interested in thoughtful discussion, which is exactly what I'm looking for.

You all seem to have a gift for writing, which is something I envy and have been working on. I could use your help in that area, and, embarrassingly, I feel like I don't know enough about politics. Hopefully by reading your discussions and eventually participating in them, I'll be much more aware and have a deeper understanding of my environment!

Music and dogs are enormous passions of mine, and I'm excited about sharing songs with everybody and listening to new music. Also, I'm getting a puppy next year, so any training tips from dog owners would be much appreciated!

Finally, I'm very into fitness, but I don't hate fat people. I understand a lot about health, so if you have any questions or are looking to get in better shape or something, I could definitely help you out.
