About Me

star Nick

star he/they

I'm a 23 year old college student majoring in Spanish and minoring in theater. I've been working part-time at a craft store since late 2019! As of August 2023, I've also started doing bookkeeping there. As of this spring semester, I'm also involved in a paid internship at my university with the World Languages department! I've been learning Spanish for 7 or 8 years now, and I've also taken some Japanese classes. I hope to try learning some Russian, too. (I can read the Cyrillic alphabet, but I don't know much vocabulary or grammar.) Swaps written in Spanish are always welcome.

I'm open to private swaps, so if you'd ever like to do one, just DM me!

January 2025: As of now, the Spring Semester of school has started, and while I anticipate all swaps going out on time, please understand if there are delays!

Comment: Nick, I so appreciate you for taking my dislike of swearing into account and didn't include any songs with lyrics containing those words. Thank you so much! From your list of songs, I only knew one of them (which was the Elvis song that you had on your list!) I did listen to a couple of your other songs too and though the one I didn't care for so much (nothing wrong with it, it just wasn't my particular style of music), however I did listen to "Sleep" by Plumb and did enjoy hearing that one. Thanks so much for sharing your favorite songs with me. I hope to listen to more of them later when I get the time to do so. Have an awesome rest of your week! Debi
