About Me

I'm Crystal..I'm 21! I'm in my last year at Clark Atlanta University majoring in Mass Media with a print journalism concentration. I grew up in Maryland..the metro urrea..home of mumbo sauce and greats like Duke Ellington and Marvin Gaye. I'll be the first of three girls to graduate from college. My biggest influence is my father who used to sit and read the paper to me every Sunday and put all he had into making sure I went to college. When he passed I put everything into school. Aside of the many remarkable people I have in my life..he inspired me the most to become a journalist and to give my all in anything I pursue. Everything I do..I do it for him.In my free time I like to shop..and go bowling..and sing..and although I'm not that big of a clubhead..I like to get out and dance every now and then. I love music..whatever I'm doing I have to be listening to it. I have an eclectic taste. I'm very much into old soul like Donny, Etta, Willie Hutch, Al Green..some of the newer stuff like Anthony Hamilton, John Legend..I like Fantasia. Then u got the other side with John Mayer, Amy Winehouse..and so on.I'm a Gemini..not so much two faced..maybe two sided. There's a side that not too many people see that very often might deem me as quiet or laid back. I'm very open and kind hearted, ambitious..always up for a challenge. Very different. Only thing that gets under my skin is lies..and purposely broken promises. Keep it real with me cause I'll always keep it real with u.
