Hi, I'm Jenny-a psychology student and junior in university, just trying to make sense of the world and figure out where I fit one thought spiral at a time. When I'm not in class or locking in to study, you'll usually find me with my nose in a romance or contemporary novel, vibing to alternative music, watching movies, or spending quiet moments with the people I love.
