Nothing remotely serious enough to put down. Never did well with scripts, I wing everything

No

In 2014, I was driving home drunk from my sister's 20th birthday party at the University of Kansas. I drove 55 minutes until I fell asleep at the wheel on an interstate, crossed into oncoming traffic and hit a semi/tractor-trailer head on. I have literally never been the same since. I lost my job, got into debt, my relationship started failing. It was the biggest wake-up call of my entire life. It was terrible. I walked away without a scratch, no one was hurt.

I am proudest that I pushed myself to get my Bachelor's degree and I am always thinking of ways to succeed, always setting new goals. I'm actually a little addicted to school. I love getting degrees. My Bachelor's degree though, that was just a moment in time that I felt so high and so hopeful. It was very rewarding.

I would say the worst of my many stories would have to be when my ex-boyfriend’s best friend got married and I took way too many shots and had way too many cocktails that I fell asleep on 3 chairs and had plenty of photo evidence that proved it. My ex’s dad, my ex, and one of his old high school friends, had to carry me to the car together as a team. It was great. For everyone else. 🤦🏻‍♀️

My green eyes! 2% of the population!

None. Bring it on.

I have one tattoo that I got in Buenos Aires, Argentina on my left shoulder which says “karma. El que la hace la paga” which directly translates to “Karma. The one who does it pays it” aka, “what goes around comes around”.

My sense of humor, I'm very animated when I tell a joke and just in general, definitely 'extra'. I just have no filter, I just say whatever pops into my head, as weird as it may be. I almost am addicted to being the weirdo.. I like when I stand out. I’ve always loved being different, always going for the dramatic. I like to get people talking. Like the song “Let’s Give Em Something to Talk About” I quite possibly could be an attention whore. Who’s to know.

I think they’d say my best qualities are being daring, I’m the one who has to greet the pizza guy at the door and call in the orders because no one wants to/are uncomfortable with talking in person! I am also very goal-oriented, I always have a Plan B-Z with everything whether that be in relationships, friendships, plans, etc. They would also say that I am very entertaining. I have ADHD and I dont take meds. lol. I am naturally loud and my laugh is on a whole other level.

Laziness, stubborn, pride, anger, messy, dramatic- as is behavior sometimes and me loving drama. Very extra. I also think they would say that my forgiving nature is a little too loose. I mean, you could burn down my house and cut my hair off in my sleep and I'd probably be hanging out with you two months later. I get burned a lot in those situations because Idk how to stay mad or how to not forgive and just move on.

My compassion for people, my forgiving nature, and the fact that I stand for what I believe in even if I’m standing alone. I am way too empathetic, I have a hard time separating my own feelings from others, it gets in the way of my life sometimes but I think it's a positive trait to have. I love that I try to find the 'party' in every situation. I get bored so easily so I am always finding ways to get people to have fun, laugh, and act ridiculous. I make up games for everything.

Really low self-confidence, self-loathing at times. I’m my worst critic and my biggest bully! I just have never loved myself, I know that I am highly annoying but I can't help it! I sometimes wish I could be more normal, but I'm not so I am still trying to embrace the weird. I am also extremely clumsy and very scatterbrained. I am so gullible that it's almost sad. Im just a mess.

I’m speak Spanish and studied abroad in Argentina! I am very cultural, I majored in Spanish and minored in Latin American Studies
