Hobbies- I love anything and everything having to do with the beach and warm weather. My dream is to live in Hawaii or California, surfing and running my own coffee shop.

Heyy. I spend a lot of time reading, writing and going to the movies. I like spending time outside and hanging out with friends, when I can. I also really like history and tend to write opinionated political pieces. I speak english and french and I am actually canadian so don’t be surprised when you see the ‘u’ in words like harbour, labour and colour. |

I have many things I like to do in my free time, it all depends on what season or mood you catch me in. To list a few, I would say my favorite time passing activity would be either snowboarding, drawing or surfing. But if you catch me after school, early or mid week, I am probably sleeping or working at Cold Stone Creamery. I try to attend as many Leesville games as possible but due to awkwardness and the fact I’m always sleepy, I only go to a select few. Still, I’m all about supporting Leesville sports and activities — especially the awesome newspaper!!!! Fun Fact- Every time I hit a golf ball it shanks right. I love Lana Del Rey more than anything in the world and if you haven’t tried chai tea you should because it is super yummy. |

Hobbies- I like taking long walks on the beach and playing my guitar in the sand. However, I hardly ever go to the beach and I do not own a guitar. I’m usually working at Cold Stone, but if I’m not there, I’m in bed. I like wearing big t-shirts, jammin’ out, and dreaming about my upper east side penthouse I’ll own in New York one day. #StayRad |
