    About Me

    I am currently attending college to get my AA and then plan on transferring to the U of M for a BA in Sociology.

    Interests

    I enjoy most of all hanging out with my friends and family and having a good time. I also enjoy sports and having fun outdoors like camping and such. I LOVE music and it is a huge stress reliever for me.
