The Millennial Star is pleased to introduce frequent M* commenter turned perma-blogger, Sarah, to the fold.

Sarah has lived in five states and twenty houses/apartments, most of them before the age of 18. Her grandparents were socialists, her father is a Unitarian Universalist, and her mother and stepfather are adult converts to the Church. Sarah was baptized a few weeks after her eighth birthday, but (despite being counseled in the 2nd grade that it’s not possible) is in many ways still “half Unitarian, half Mormon.” She has far too many cute stories from when she was growing up, and will at the slightest provocation own up to (and elaborate upon the experience of) having stood in line for six weeks for Star Wars twice. Home schooled for junior high and high school, she has a bizarre affinity for the number 11.

Today, at age 26, she is basking in the warm glow of having finally earned her bachelor’s degree from The Ohio State University, while seriously contemplating tripling her student loan debt via a three-year program at an ABA-certified school of law. She wanted to go to BYU for undergrad, but was 15 when the housing deposits were due, and thought her dad might cry if he found out about it; now her GPA is way too low to get her into the J. Reuben Clark school. Sarah has three half-sisters, a half-brother, a stepbrother, too many parents, and sadly, neither a boyfriend nor a husband. She is in her third year of teaching Primary (CTR-7 and CTR-8) and her second year of slacking off as a Young Single Adult representative. She hates singles’ wards and loves writing and dancing, and wants to home educate her (hypothetical, future) kids when she grows up. She has no shame regarding her plans to read the seventh Harry Potter book the same night it is released into stores, and her scandalous love affairs with the hyphen, comma and semi-colon are the talk of the town. Not your town, probably – she’s never really been to Utah.
