Hello (and Merry Christmas) fellow Steemians! I'm Lydia!
Consider me salt and pepper because I'm here to offer you season's greetings! HA- if you're still reading after that terrible pun, then I'd consider us friends already. My name is Lydia, and I'm from Ann Arbor, Michigan. I'm currently a Junior at the University of Michigan (go blue!) double majoring in biopsychology, cognition, & neuroscience (BCN) and Spanish. I also have a minor in community action and social change.
I'd say the thing I love the most is probably traveling. Expanding my mind through physically expanding my boundaries is the kind of metaphor I live for. This last summer I had the amazing opportunity to study abroad in Spain and Chile- something I will definitely write more about later. Each country had a unique perspective that I was honored to be invited into, and the memories still take my breath away.
Closer to home, I adore music- both listening and playing. I've played the violin since I was a bite-size version of myself, and taught myself the guitar and ukulele over the years since. I've even recently started writing music! In our hectic world, I've found that music is a wonderful place to channel my energy, stress, and emotions. I was also a ballet dancer for the majority of my life. I've since stopped, but dancing is still a part of my core (and it also works out my core!)
If the puns didn't give me away, I'm also a huge nerd. Knowledge is amazing! I consider myself so so lucky to be studying at an amazing school, focusing on one of the final frontiers of knowledge- the human brain. I'm also currently dipping my toe in the world of crypto, as a few of my friends have been scooped up in the rollercoaster. Honestly, I don't know much, but I promise I'm a great listener and a quick learner. I decided to join Steemit mostly for the social media/ community aspect, and learning about crypto along the way is a cool added bonus.
I'm super excited to see where this goes- I expect great things! Please leave questions/ comments if you have any- let's build this community together!
Thanks for taking a bit out of your day to get to know me. I'm looking forward to sharing more and learning about all of you as well. I hope you have a joyful Christmas!
Merrily,
Lyd
Wow, you are doing some amazing things! Double majoring in two very intense fields of study. You definitely have great drive and motivation. Of course, you are certainly very intelligent as well :)
Traveling is another excellent thing. It is one of the best ways to learn and educate yourself. The experiences you gain from traveling are experiences that you can not learn anywhere else.
To top it all you you are musically inclined! That is amazing! being able to play the violin is pretty cool and the fact that you taught yourself the guitar is commendable.
You are going to do very well both in life and here on Steemit.
Best of Luck,
Spencer Coffman

Hola guapa! Por tu presentación pareces una persona interesante, inquieta e inteligente. Así que estaremos atentos a tus publicaciones y seguro que si eres constante y original Steemit te dará muchas alegrías. If you need any help with your Spanish you might find useful resources in here (I myself have been a Spanish teacher abroad many years). Bienvenida y suerte!
Hola! Sí- podemos hablar en español juntos! Muchas gracias!
A ti! Muy bonitas las fotos también, y tú estás guapísima en la primera con tu ropa de ¿animadora? Yo viví en Estados Unidos hace ya algunos años, y después también he pasado largas temporadas en Reino Unido e Irlanda, así que podemos utilizar el inglés y el español indistintamente. Creo que manejar dos idiomas puede ser una ventaja para ti en Steemit, sobre todo teniendo en cuenta que en tu presentación dices que te interesa el aspecto de social media / community. Bienvenida a bordo!
