Hi, 

I am a senior Elementary Education major from Texas. I absolutely love reading, it is my favorite thing to do. Currently, my favorite book series is the Divergent series, but it tends to change every few months or so because I'll find something new that I find more interesting. I have been doing work study here at the library for 4 years now, and I will be graduating in the Fall of 2016.

Hi, 

I'm Julie and I am a History major. I'm originally from Oregon, but moved to Texas when I was seven.

Some of the most notorious dragons I have faced off against and slain are Smaug the Chiefest and Greatest of Calamaities, the Mother of Dragons, Daenerys Targaryen called Stormborn, the Unburnt, Khaleesi of the Dothraki, Trueborn Queen of the Andals, Rhoynar, and the First Men, and Lady of the Seven Kingdoms and her 3 sibling dragons, Drogon the black, Rhaegal the green, and Viserion the white, Saphira and Thorn, and their riders Eragon and Murtagh. Last but not least, my most formidable foe that I slayed after days of combat, Puff the Magic Dragon.
