Ryan Smith

Never been good at this, but I will try to hit all the major points:

Hello, my name is Ryan Smith. I'm 23 years old. I'm a super senior at Mississippi State University. I study Music Education with minors in German and International Studies. I used to be a Resident Adviser for 4 years, but now, I work as an Administrative Assistant. I'm from Germantown, TN (just outside of Memphis). I'm the only true born son of my now divorced and remarried parents, so let's just say I have a big family. I suffer from depression and anxiety, but I try not to let those keep me in bed.

I been creative almost my whole life (Well that is what my number one fan says. Thanks, Mom). I am rather harmonious, considering I can pick up any instrument and within a week I would be quite decent in it. Speaking of instruments, I can play more than I can count on my hands, but that is why I have toes. My primary instruments are the oboe, English horn, tuba, alto saxophone, and flute. Besides musical knack, I am a talented writer. I prefer writing fiction based works, but I'll write just about anything. I have written and had poetry published. Additionally, I have written a couple novels (not yet published), and several short stories.

Some other hidden talents: I love to cook. I am always game for watching a movie. I watch only a few TV shows: Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, Fear the Walking Dead, Turn, Black Sails, Glee, and Revolution. I love turtles. I collect Funko Pop figures. They actually line the walls in my room. I am a total nerd. Despite being part of House Slytherin and District 11, I love to play games: board, video, roleplaying. Doesn't matter to me. Just sit down and play. Contradictory to my nerdiness, I am also athletic. I enjoy playing soccer where I am the goalkeeper. I also play intramural volleyball and flag football. I'm the safety that just robbed your Hail Mary touchdown.

Anything else you want to know, because I’m sure that I’ve missed something, just ask. I am an open book, but you have to ask.
