Hello! my name is Melanie and most of the people i know just calls me "Mel" so feel free to do so as well. I'm currently a sophomore pursuing a bachelor's degree in Biology with a prospective minor in anthropology and chemistry. My hobbies include tennis, singing, (in the shower ...everyone should try this! I find it to be stress relieving)internet surfing, reading books, and playing games (although I'm really not that good).
It terms of reading my preferred genre would have to be romance. I occasionally branch out into other genres but the rarest of all would have to be suspense/thriller/horror. The reason is because of one specific incident.I don't recall the title of the book exactly but the author was Stephen King. The type of imagery depicted in my thoughts felt so real that I ended up having nightmares about the novel. Since then, I have the tendency to favor stories that portrays the classic ending of happily ever after. Most of my readings are for academic purposes. I do favor poetry and free-writing though when it comes to literature. Writing poetry to me, as a source of ventilation, has helped me a lot throughout the years.
Based upon inquiry,three other room mate of mines read what is essentially required out to them. My first room mate is an international student and being the studious person that she is, leisure reading is not something she indulges in. She reads a lot of text books that pertains to business. My following room mate has an extensive collection of books in her room.Mostly of fantasy and sci-fi, she claims that it is a way to vent. Being a student in the Science Department, she tends to compare the possibility of claims stated in sci-fi novels. Also, it offsets the logistic mentality imposed by her degree or major. Lastly, the final room mate I interviewed loves literature in general. She is in the Arts and Theatres program and the reason why she loves reading is to fully grasp the emotions she would eventually have to portray in plays.

Hi, Melanie. Thanks for posting! I can relate regarding Stephen King. I started reading "It" and got to some kind of clown in the sewer drain and couldn't keep going. I kept picturing the drain on the street where I lived as a kid, and it was too real! :) Nancy
