Lindsey Mills

Boulder, Colorado

Oh Hey There! Lindsey Mills here! But I guess you already knew that...let me shed some light on the weirdo whose application you are hopefully loving...

I used to think that life was all about success and finding your personalized grey cubicle in the enormous world of occupational lifestyles. What kind of a life is that? I have never wanted to simply drop off the face of the planet instantaneously. I wanted to be famous. And thus, in 7th grade, at the age of 12, I embarked on an epic journey to not only find myself, but also to find meaning in my life. Inspired by an out-of-the-box writing class, taught by an agnostic in a Catholic grade school, I knew it was time to start making changes. But I learned something very quickly; nobody takes a 7th grader seriously. This is when I became obsessed with overachieving. And thus my story begins.

I am over-involved. I adore making people happy and, while I could talk about my fabulousness for hours on end, I always put others before myself.

I am involved in a love affair with the thesaurus. I make exceptionally serious moments severely lighthearted because they make me anxious. I am a passionate people person and live for “awkward turtle moments.” As you can probably decipher from my bio, I think the greatest humor is that which involves the self and I frequently enjoy a lengthy chuckle with any person willing to gleefully giggle with me. It is highly likely that I will frighten you with my gregarious personality and my keen ability to laugh at inappropriate times. But I am Lindsey Mills, a self-proclaimed star.

In an attempt to define myself, I would say that I am a work in progress. Progression is exactly what I wish to achieve in this massive undertaking called life. I am determined to take the next step in becoming a passionate intellectual in order to avoid the drab grey shanty of the business world’s cubicled workplace. I am a dedicated worker, motivated by my
