Hi there! Now I'm not sure if there's an albatross around my neck, or if ''I'm'' the albatross. My name is Lucas, and I'm a sixteen year-old about-to-be junior in high school. I intend on majoring in Psychology with a minor in Gender Studies or another comparable minor. I'm going to place a heavy focus on Social Psychology classes because those are where my interests lie. Hailing from a small town in Texas, I actually ''don't'' own an (admittedly tacky) pair of cowboy boots. I do, however, own a cute little frame on my dresser that says Lucas means "determined and poetic" in Latin. I'm not sure how accurate that is, but it reflects my personality well. [[YourMileageMayVary Or at least I think so]].
