Introduction to... The Possibilities Are Endless.

Hola. Hello. Howdy. Hi there! My names Madelyn Amacher, you can call me Madelyn- or Mads... if you're feelin' lazy!(; So, I'm supposed to tell ya'll a bit about me... let me see if I can do so and manage not to put you to sleep!

I am twenty one years old, born on Thanksgiving (they call me a turkey baby). I have two wonderful parents and I am the eldest of three. I have an 18 year old sister named Malori and a 15 year old brother named Will. I am from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma born and raised. I know, I clearly went SUPER far to college but let me tell you coming to OU was an upgrade. I started out at Southern Nazarene University, which I hated more than anything... closest thing I can compare that university to would be jail. Since I could no longer stand to spend another second at that school I left after the Fall 2014 semester and spent Spring 2014 at UCO, just taking nine hours and commuting from my home (compromise with the rents). FINALLY, for Spring 2015 semester I came to OU. Best. Decision. Ever. Yes, this is only my second year at OU. 

You're probably thinking at this point, okay awesome Madelyn you win the award for the person who's transferred schools most in college- but whats your major? Well, well, well I am actually taking suggestions currently for a good major- please leave your suggestion in the comment wall. Kidding, but yes it is true I am a fourth year and I am undecided. (I'll be taking that fifth year victory lap.) I actually did declare a major once upon a time, I was Biology Pre-Veterinary Medicine my second semester of freshman year. But after failing Organismal Bio I realized that maybe being a Vet just wasn't really in the cards for me.

And that brings me to talk about my biggest passion of all, animals. (Yes that is a bird in the top left picture.) I have had a heart for animals ever since I can remember. Over the years I have rescued countless little furry friends, most being kittens. I am a huge supporter of the saying "adopt don't shop" and I'm not particularly fond of breeders. I hope to one day be able to educate people on the importance of spaying and neutering our pets and how it contributes to the overpopulation issue around the world. The more animals I can save from being euthanized the happier I'll be. I hope to one day be able to open my own animal rescue as well! I have four dogs and one sugar glider! One dog lives at my dads and her name is Sweetie and the other three live with my mom, their names are Star, Willow and Maggie. And for those of you who are thinking "what the heck is a sugar glider?", well let me enlighten you! A sugar glider is much like a flying squirrel except she is actually a marsupial. So like kangaroos she has a little pouch where she would keep her babies if she had any! They are also nocturnal, meaning they are awake at night and sleep during the day! (The kind of schedule I'm typically on!)

Can you tell that this little girl is one of my favourite rescues of all times? I got to raise her from an itty bitty baby, bottle feeding her every two hours! Exhausting yes, but it was so worth it! She was by far the hardest baby to give up but she has such a perfect loving forever home! I named her Nugget, Nug for short but her name is now Poppy!

Another passion I possess is a passion for people. I love being a friend, as silly as that may sound. But I think there is truly so much importance in knowing how to truly be a good friend to someone. These days with technology and social media in the way it can be really tough on any relationship. But loyalty and acceptance are two of the most important qualities I think someone can possess so I try my hardest to give that to others.

Hmmm, what else? Ah... I also love writing. I write songs as well as poetry- it's kinda my outlet. I sing as well and can play piano a bit and am attempting to learn guitar. Music is a big part of my life and I truly don't know if I could live without it! I also love love love country two-stepping. I've always wished I were a dancer and during my freshman year at SNU some students there taught me how to two-step and I fell in love. I typically go to Cowboys OKC every Friday night to dance because its free with a college ID! I would absolutely love to one day compete. I also do photography on the side as well.(:

I can't wait to get to know you all as well! Cheers to a fun semester ahead!
