I posted a little "about me" as my first ever blog post, but as the butt-head in those pictures with me likes to say "Anything that is worth doing, is worth overdoing." So:
My name is Mackenzie Hoffman. I live and have spent almost my entire life in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I come from a very large family, with 6 brothers and sisters of all ages, and too many cousins to even count. I graduated from the University of Minnesota with a Bachelors of Science in Psychology in August of 2014, at the ripe-old age of 20. I've always loved school and learning and that continues to be a trend in my life today. I constantly utilize any source of information, be it a website, a book or a person, to learn as much as I can about as many things as I can. My 2 guilty pleasures are youtube & netflix. If it were socially acceptable to simply watch youtube and netflix day in and day out, I would become a hermit and do just that. If I could live off of pizza, ice cream, Olive Garden's fettucini alfredo and Red Lobster's cheddar bay biscuits WITHOUT getting fat, then I would also do that. My dream of dreams is to be an M.D, but of what yet, I don't know. I think it would be incredibly cool to be a surgeon, but that requires a strong stomach and I haven't had the chance to test that out yet. I also would love to have a primary patient population of children. Growing up with 6 siblings - 5 younger - has made me an expert at kids from beginning until teenage and I like the idea of helping people who have so much ahead of them. Even better, I would love to be a pediatric surgeon that also had the opportunity to travel the world, using my skills to help those who don't have access to quality care.
All in all & as my home-page introduction says, I'm just a big goofball who loves to just enjoy the things that I'm lucky enough to have and who strives to be better each day.
[Feel free to ask any and all questions in the comments. I am an open book.]
