Hello everyone! My name is Moira, and I first joined FanFiction in 2010 for the purpose of writing analytical essays for my favorite cartoon, Hey Arnold! I even developed my user name of HAFanForever to reference that I would always be a fan of this show. But since I made this account, I went on to write stories for Hey Arnold! as well as a few for my other favorite cartoon, The Powerpuff Girls. In the case of movies, I have stories for Frozen, Brave, and now one each for Corpse Bride and Anastasia.

I have also written essays for the two aforementioned films and one each for Corpse Bride, Wreck-It Ralph, and Cinderella on deviantART, at which my username is also HAFanForever. I love movies and have a deep interest in filmmaking. I am especially an avid fan of Star Wars, Harry Potter, both the books and films for the latter, and Disney films. Animated films are among my most favorites, including those of Disney and Pixar, but also some by DreamWorks and those done in stop-motion. Besides those, one of my favorite non-Disney animated films of all time is Anastasia, which is the only Don Bluth film I have ever loved. When I really enjoy movies, I develop such a huge passion for them that I like to collect merchandise. I currently have big merchandise collections for Star Wars, The Powerpuff Girls, Brave, and Frozen.

However, I am no longer as active on here or dA as much as I used to be because my life has become much more complicated. A few months after I created my account, I went to graduate school, and with the demands of my classes and my independent research project, I didn't have enough leisure time to do anything like writing. When I finally finished school and earned my Master's degree, I created my Tumblr account and started spending more time on there. It is there that I have made a name for myself for writing analyses about Frozen, Cinderella, Hey Arnold!, and even for a couple of other films, both Disney and non-Disney. But simultaneously, after graduating, I went two years without going to school or having a job (after several unsuccessful attempts to find one). The situation caused me to fall into a serious state of on-and-off depression, which was also caused due to complications of my life at home with my parents and one of my siblings.

Although I was reluctant, to help get me out my depressive slump, I went back to graduate school in late 2015 to earn a second Master's degree. I finally completed school in December 2017 and received my diploma last January, and I am very proud of it.

Then I thought I could be taking my final step in completing my education by attending The Catholic University of America in the fall of 2018 to earn a Ph.D. in biology. I got the acceptance letter for it in late April 2018, and I was so ecstatic because I truly didn't think I had a chance of getting in. So that August, I moved to D.C. and lived at the school while I attended classes there. When I was not in my classes or studying, I was also working as a teaching assistant in the chemistry department.

But sadly, it was not meant to be. For four months, I lived in D.C. and I really enjoyed being there all by myself. But at the same time, I struggled to do well in my classes and with my job, too. After the semester ended, I received three C's out of four of my classes, one of which came as a complete shock. Per university rules, if a student receives one F or six credits of C's, they are subject to dismissal from the program. I took eight credits during the semester, and seven out of those eight credits came out as C's. This means, yes, I have been dismissed from the program and the university entirely.

Now I feel more depressed than I have ever felt in my life. I feel really lost and am having an identity crisis. I had worked so hard to get into the university, and now I've lost everything I had wanted and started to gain from this experience, most especially a new job and a new place of my own. In terms of what my future holds, I am not ready to tackle to the educational environment again so soon, so I will have to look extra hard for a job. But in the meantime, I am now back to square one with living with my family, which I had hoped would be long over.

This account is going to be inactive until further notice. I will never delete my stories or this account, but it may be a long time before I have the zest to write again. So just please enjoy reading all of my current and continue to stick around to see what may come in the future. Thank you all.
