-I don't play any sports mostly because I worked all through out high school, kind of a workaholic. So it is nice that I will have a little break at school. I plan on getting into the intramural volleyball though because I enjoy playing and I'm decent at it. I think I am really friendly and I will talk to anyone, I love making friends. I enjoy the basic girl things like tanning and shopping. And I really love naps.
