All About Me

HOME | PERSONAL | PHOTOS | RESUME

About Me: I'm a nineteen year old college student.  Currently, I am just about to wrap up my freshman year of college.  I have lived in Virginia my entire life and only moved once.  I have an older brother and a younger sister.  Currently my major is undeclared, but I plan on being a marketing major with a minor in CIS.
Hobbies/Clubs/Jobs: I love to have fun, so I really like to hang out with my friends.  I also love to watch movies, dance, listen to music, and swim.  This past year I joined the James Madison club swimming team so that I did not have to give up swimming entirely since I have been competitively swimming for around eleven years.  During high school I worked at a local optometrist's office doing mostly front desk work.  This summer I will be working at another optometrist's office doing similar work.
Favorite Movies: I love so many movies.  I really like to watch 80's movies like Footloose, Dirty Dancing, and The Breakfast Club.  I also really like Romeo and Juliet, Save the Last Dance, Sweet Home Alabama, Love Actually, A League of Their Own (I've seen pretty much every baseball movie made), and so many others.
Favorite Music: Listening to music is probably my favorite pastime and it really helps that I like almost all types of music.  Some of my favorite bands are: Taking Back Sunday, Fall Out Boy, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sublime, Dashboard Confessional, Fleetwood Mac, The Doors, The Who, Led Zepplin, Offspring, Brooks and Dunn, Bowling For Soup, and many others.  I also have several friends who are in their own bands.  I love to listen to them practice and watch them play shows.  Moneyshot, The Diligent Slackers, and Crimson Addict are just a few of my friends' bands.
Favorite Books: I really enjoyed the book Blindness.  I had to read it for a class my senior year of high school, but it turned out to be one of my favorite books.  I also love anything by Toni Morrison.  I have read almost all of her books and believe that she is a brilliant author.
Favorite Quote: "Be who you are and say what you feel because the people who mind don't matter and people who matter don't mind."  -Dr. Seuss
