Introduction

As the writer of this blog, I feel that is important that I make a formal introduction of myself. I am Kristine Donnelly and am an advertising major at the University of Florida and am currently in my junior year. I live full-time in Gainesville, Fla. with my cat, Maia.

My life story began in Warwick, RI,  where I lived for the first two years of my life. On a technicality, I was born in Providence, RI on March 19, 1995 (birthday wishes are always accepted). My immediate family moved to Spring Hill, Fla. during the summer of 1997 and we lived there until I was 14-years-old. During high school, we moved around a few times within the Orlando area. A few months after high school graduation I moved to Gainesville and haven't moved away since then.

On a more personal level, I enjoy reading fantasy novels and playing the piano. I love most animals (not prairie dogs) and have ridden horses in the past. I enjoy playing tennis and bowling. The only sport I can watch is hockey; it's a sport I just recently learned that I love (Go Bruins!).

My future entails watching the seasons change. I plan on moving to Massachusetts and working out of Boston. My dream career would be working as a creative director for a major advertising company. My roots are in New England and I have always wished that I grew up there; however, I am considered a Floridian. The picture shown below displays my love of Rhode Island winters and is placed where I aspire to be someday in the future.

Closing on a random fun fact:
In my junior of high school, I was attacked by a prairie dog. His name was Kujo and was a class pet in my agriculture course. He latched onto my finger and would not let go. I will spare you of the gruesome details; however, I will say that I still have nerve damage to my finger (almost four years have past).
