I guess this site is a way for you all to get a little look into my life. My name is Mallaree Blake and I'm currently a freshman and sociology major at the University of Dayton. My dream career currently is to become a sex therapist, but we all know things change! I'm originally from Jamestown, NY (about 6 hours away and no...it's not near NYC) and I graduated from Southwestern High School in one of the most competitive and overachieving classes in its history. I live up in the Penthouse of Marycrest Complex (the Core Floor) and I have 2 roommates: Reen Radel and Katie Groves. I'm not sure how I came about to choosing UD as the school for me since it's far from home, but I'm slowly adapting to the state of Ohio (some of you guys are crazy here).

            I was really involved at my high school and was voted Class Secretary all 4 years and was Treasurer of National Honor Society. I was a participant in the Lakewood Area Junior Miss Program, a mentor in the Ophelia Project, along with several other clubs. I took 10 years of tap and jazz dancing and I ride my horses at home so I guess you could say I do that a lot in my spare time. I have a younger sister, Courtnee, who is almost 16 years old, 10 pets (my mom works at a Vet Hospital), and a boyfriend who goes to Ohio Northern.

“Because I am a woman, I must make unusual efforts to succeed. If I fail, no one will say, ‘She doesn’t have what it takes.’ They will say, ‘Women don’t have what it takes.”

Here's a list of some of my favorites:

 Food: Ice cream (any flavor basically...I'm obsessed) and beef jerky
 Movies: ANY DISNEY MOVIE (I own every single one and 2 Trivia Games), The Notebook, A           Time  To Kill, Sixteen Candles, any type of war movies
 Colors: Pink, Green, and Yellow
Sports Team: Cleveland Browns (It's pretty nice to be surrounded by my own kind instead of those Buffalo Fans)
Magazine: Cosmo...I read it every month. It's a girl's Bible
 TV Show: Saved By The Bell and Sex and the City (I have all of the seasons of both...even the College Years)
