    So I made this a year and a half ago, but after I went off to college, I stopped going on here. Recently I've been browsing the forum though so I thought I'd introduce myself again ��

    I'm Rolando, a 19 year old gay guy from the Chicago suburbs. I'm also a student at UIC, studying secondary education (history). While at school I live in the city ��. My parents are from cuba, so I speak spanish as well! I came out to my family when I was 16, but I really came out to all friends/acquaintances this past summer.

    I love alternative/pop music so if you have similar tastes, message me and let's talk about music for hours. Lana Del Rey, Walk the Moon, MGMT, Passion Pit, New Politics, Mika, Natalia Kills, Sam Smith, Becky G and sooooo many more ��

    I also love reading. Ellen Hopkins and James Patterson are my all time favorites. Movies are life. I collect movie tickets. Also, I love exploring Chicago and people watching haha

    That's it I guess. Sorry it's long, but if you think we can be friends, message me ����

    My brother went to undergrad at Northwestern so I spent a fair bit of time in Chicago when I visited him. Lovely city.
