Hey guys! My name is Taylor Bankroff, and I am a freshman in Purdue's Honors Engineering program. Mechanical is what I'm intending on doing, but it will most likely change. Being a patent attorney is what I aim for. I graduated at the top of my class from Boone Grove High School. Born and raised in Crown Point, I don't consider myself a complete city girl, but I have some of the characteristics! I have one older brother named Tim, but I still call him Timmy. He is 22 and in the process of going back to school for a Master's in Zoology. My parents are Tim and Laurie. My dad is a credit union examiner... I still have no idea what he does :) My mom is a guidance counselor at Lake Central High School. She was definitely a major help when it came to application and scholarship stuff.
So now on to my life... fun, huh? Starting at the age of three, I played soccer. I continued through high school and always loved it. I was sporty when I was younger to try to fit in with my brother and his friends... he didn't like it so much. I've always been comfortable hanging around with guys because of my brother, and I'm thankful for that. Girly-girl has never really been my thing, and I don't really wear skirts or dress up unless I have to. I'm usually pretty quiet and choose to not talk if I have the choice. Awkward silence isn't really something I comprehend. My favorite color is orange, but I love to wear aqua or any other blue or green color. I get annoyed with people who are fake or have no idea what work means. I never wanted to come to Purdue because I always thought it was ugly. It rained or snowed every time I was here last year. This has probably been the most random "paragraph" ever written.
I have a great boyfriend of two and a half years...kinda. We broke up when he left for college my junior year and have been back together since he came home the next summer. His name is Mike, and he is majoring here in Agricultural Economics. He is part of the Farmhouse Fraternity and plays rugby.
My hobbies include reading, playing soccer, running, snowboarding, writing when I'm in the mood, eating, and being lazy. I love being outdoors and doing things like canoeing and hiking. My favorite movies include Office Space, Supertroopers, and Out Cold. I love country music but am willing to listen to some other stuff. When I have time to relax, I read as much as possible. I love reading Harry Potter books and books by Dean Koontz. He is definitely my favorite author.
Since I have absolutely no idea what else to write about myself, I'm going to go! Later gators :)

Being from Griffith Indiana I can understand what you mean about having some of the characteristics of a city girl without actually being one. Being near Chicago was nice because I got to go to the museums a lot (did you?) but I didn't have the same sort of city atmosphere at home. Do you think this a good first "meaningful comment?" :)
So you played soccer, all the way through high school? Do you have any intentions of joining a soccer club, or doing other athletic clubs while here at Purdue? I understand playing a sport your whole life and then coming here and not doing anything but going to classes. I was just wondering if you wanted to do something athletic because after all those years of playing a sport I feel that I have to do something athletic so I don't get out of shape. That is just my feeling I was wondering if you felt the same way.
Oh i love office space! it's one of my favorite comedy movies and its quite a classic! Did you say you were majoring in mechnical engineering? I think you told me.. if i'm wrong sorry! well either way that's the same major my boyfriend is in.. the way he talks about it.. its sounds rough!
