Hello World!

By @rose666•8/5/2016•hello-world

Hi Steemers!

I'm Miranda, a 19 year old college student from Seattle currently residing in Wellesley, MA. Right now I am ambitiously aiming to double major in Computer Science and Electronic/Experimental music. I am passionate about music, social justice, technology, and trashy TV.

It Me!

School Stuff

I attend Wellesley College in the grossly affluent and extremely white town of Wellesley, MA. I already covered what I'm studying in school, but I am involved in many things outside of my classes.
My greatest commitment outside of academics is studying guitar. I take lessons in jazz/blues guitar. In the upcoming semester I am joining an ensemble which I am psyched about!
I am also involved in our college radio station, WZLY 91.5. This school year I will a position on the Executive Board of the station working as the Music Director (I'm so psyched about this).
My other main extracurricular committment is not music related. I am a member of Wellesley's club hoockey team. I play defensive wing. I had never touched a hockey stick until about a year ago but I've found it to be super fun/a great stress reliever. I'll share more about my foray into hockey later.

Music Stuff

My main passion in life is playing, listening to, and learning about music. I am a music junkie (read nerd). I mainly listen to punk, indie, and hip hop/rap, but I'll basically listen to anything that isn't bro country - bro country being current country music that is misogynist and gross (maybe I'll do a whole post on my definition of bro country). I am in a Seattle based femme-punk band called Hardly Boys. We recently released an EP and just last week went on our first tour down the west coast.

In Hardly Boys I play guitar, sing, and get shit done. Outside of playing music I obsessively follow music blogs, and love discovering new music/music I've never heard. I'm always open to music suggestions so feel free to comment them below! Right now I'm listening to Try the Pie, Tears for Fears, and G.L.O.S.S.

There's so much more!

This is a little slice of my life and who I am, but I have so much more to share! In the coming weeks I intend to talk more about who I am and what I'm passionate about.
Some things I plan to write about include:

  • How to start a band with out killing your friends
  • How to have a successful tinder profile w/o getting murdered
  • Tech Bros
  • Moving across the country
  • The beauty and insanity of Twin Peaks
  • Giving and getting stick and pokes
