im 18 and recent high school grad. i absolutely love to dance, i miss it everyday. i love music. its not hard to make me laugh, or to startle me. i hate the color pink, but love blue. im really neat and organized. i try to be someone who is funny and sarcastic that comes up with good come-backs, but i usually just end up sounding stupid. when i laugh, its really loud. i love to have fun and laugh until my stomach hurts, but im trying to get better at doing both more often
Im going to Winthrop University this fall to major in Mass Communications with a concentration in broadcasting and editing
