I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm Shelly. I'm 24. I'm going through a 1/4th of life crisis. I will be attending Russell Sage Graduate college this fall for nutrition science. I live in Albany with my awesome friend and roomie who always helps me to feel less like a crazy person. I work at Gold's Gym. My apartment is the best. It has a deck, and a gazeebo and a fireplace outside, and our kitchen is also our living room. I was a head teacher at a preschool and a house keeper at The Holiday Inn in the same month (yes, I actually knocked on people's doors and said "housekeeepinnngg!"). Someday I would like to go back to school for writing. Maybe when I'm 40. I don't want children. Ever. I like Albany alot but I still really miss my friends from SUCO and home. My mom is my number one hero, and idol in life. If I become even a fraction of the amazing woman she is, then I'll consider my life a success. My second hero is Stephen King. If I ever met him I would pee everywhere. You're going to want to be my friend. TRUST me."We're all just bags of bones."Myspace Graphics
