Welcome to Into The Wild.

Whether you came here by mistake, whim, or fancy, it's good to have you.

Your Host: Hannah Yocum.

Oldest daughter of 3 and Central California’s 2-time Wii Resort Table Tennis champion. Born into a family of esteemed wine connoisseurs and self-effacing farmers. Father is an attorney by day, minister by night. Grandma is an ex-belly dancer. Uncle is a suppressed literary genius; and Best Friend is the illegitimate child of (the Nanny) (thought tests have suggested otherwise).

Weaknesses include redheads, fresh air and good cheese. I’m horribly addicted to French onion dip, and, on numerous occasions, have found myself searching for it in the refrigerator days after its consummation.

Hobbies have yet to be defined, as I’ve been told that watching Sundance films and obsessively screen-shopping on Ikea.com hardly count as “hobbies”.

On a side note, I’m probably the only girl I know in CenCal who thinks that listening to the newest Death Cab for Cutie CD is as much fun as going to the mall or exchanging phone numbers with boys. Of course, you’d think so too in a city where all the boys own the same lifted trucks and FMF sweatshirts.

So now, as a soon-to-be graduate of a somewhat notorious, small town high school, I’m leaping into the unknown; searching for a future that stretches far beyond the limits of a rural community and its average lifestyle.

The Challenge: To find a college in a contemporary city, where I can test my mental, emotional and physical margins.

What will ensue, no one can say...
