About Me

I'm a junior in college, majoring in Public Health Management. I feel the need to work constantly and get out of school as quickly as possible, putting a severe strain on my going out lifestyle as of late. New car means car payment! I am all about running/walking a million miles now that summer is here to get back in shape. I never go to sleep before 3a.m. I'm a server that can't imagine having a "real" job someday. I clearly love taking too many pictures. I like planning but usually I'm the spur of the moment girl. The best nights out are with friends when you don't expect to have more than a few drinks..and end up being unable to walk by the end of the night. I love Pinot Noir. I'm addicted to all seasons of Top Chef. Meeting new worthwhile people makes me smile. If you can carry on a good conversation with me, you have my approval. My weakness in life is paramedics and bartenders..and men that can cook ;-P I never go anywhere without my ipod. I love live (local) music. I love black grogg coffee. Barley's is my second home, filled with amazing "family". Crown royal makes the world a better place. Margarita's are a close second. Jones For Revival songs make my day better. Kisses on the forehead are one of my favorite things. I might be addicted to chicken quesadillas. Babysitting puts everything in perspective for me. I have a weird love for penguins. I love roses (and getting them, though I deny it constantly). Cherry Coke Zero and Chapstick are staples in my life. I own too many tank tops. I want to wear flip flops everyday of my life. Favorite color is ocean blue and spring-time makes me happy. I was a highschool track girl so I pretend I'm still in shape, however I can lose a good ten pounds. My friends mean the world to me and I can't wait for Amanda to get back home! I'm looking forward to starting my summer off right with JONESFEST 2008 in May, my sister's wedding mayhem in June, OBX in July and VEXFEST V in August will make summer 2008 phenomenal!
