Self-Description

I'm pretty much a hoot to be around :) I can make a lot of people laugh, especially with my blonde moments. I love to sit around with my sisters and watch Friends or just sit around and talk and laugh; that time goes by so quickly! I'm great at giving advice...so I'm told. I'm a celebrity junkie, People.com is my most favorite website!

 
Why AGD?
I chose AGD, because everyone seemed so relaxed and laid back when they talked to me during recruitment. I didn't feel a need to be extra perky; everyone I talked to seemed to really enjoy our conversation and were so sweet.

Favorite Alpha Gam moment?
Anytime when all my favorite girls are just hanging out in our rooms at night, talking and laughing and making jokes and saying stupid stuff that we'll end up quoting forever!
 
Favorite part about being in the house?
My favorite part is that I didn't know any of these girls before, and how it's incredible to me in how one year living in the house they have become my best friends. I think that's pretty incredible how you become so close so fast! (I know it sounds cliche but it's surprisingly true!)
   
If you could go anywhere, where would you go and why?
Italy or New Zealand or Finland. The first two because they seem romantic, and Finland because that's where my grandparents came from!
   
What do you enjoy doing?
Play "Friends Scene It", organize (weird I know), run to McDonalds for food (or anywhere for food for that matter), just go anywhere with my sisters or hang out with my boyfriend!
 
What makes you unique?
I can always make people laugh, even though it may be laughing AT me, not with me, which I understand because I say some pretty ridiculous things about myself; I don't hold back!
 
What is your dream vacation?
Going on a 7 day cruise then heading over to Disneyworld for another week!
   
Future Goals
I want to manage people in my profession; preferably in some sort of "girly" company. My dream job would be a Wedding Planner at Disneyworld...or managing those that do that! I can't wait to be a mom down the road, and live in a big city and decorate my apartment when I graduate in a year (Boo!!).
   
You've just been given $500 to spend however you like, what would you spend it on?
I'd first go shopping then probably stock up on things I'll need for when I graduate like kitchen appliances or cool furniture from Target (I LOVE Target!)
