Places I’ve lived in include

Germany: Probably my favorite place I’ve lived in. It’s close proximity to amazing countries like France, the UK, Switzerland, and Austria really made me enjoy traveling and living there. German McDonalds has chicken wings, so for all of you wing fans out there who happen to be okay with fast food, this might be the place for you!
Alaska: Pretty cold and pretty dark during the Fall and Winter, but at least it’s kind of quiet. I learned a lot about wildlife there, which isn’t really relevant in most conversations, but oh well.
Alabama: In the deep heart of the South, you’d expect there to be people eating frogs, a deep love for country music, and people taking football games way too seriously. With my experience living there, I can assure you that these things can be found there. My favorite thing about this peanut-loving state is the food. Can’t find better Chicken and Waffles anywhere else!
New Jersey: So, basically, I was born in Camden, New Jersey. After living there for 9 years I moved around a lot, as you can see above. However, I came back to Jersey during my Junior Year of High School and it’s where I am right now!

Movies that I have watched over and over again include

The Devil All The Time: The performances by Robert Pattinson and Tom Holland are exceptional, the story takes many shocking turns, and the overall theme of the film really makes one wonder what the true definitions of good and evil.
Forrest Gump: This tale of a lovable, simple man living an anything but simple life really pulls at the heartstrings and fills me with wonder and awe every time. This movie made me love Tom Hanks as an actor.
The Notebook: Yes, I like Romance films, even American ones. The ending is pretty sad and I’m not going to lie, it made me cry really hard the first time I watched it. The first time I watched it, by the way, was the Summer of 2020. I was 18 years old crying to this movie with my younger sister, who didn’t feel it was sad enough to cry about.
The Perks Of Being A Wallflower: As an introvert whose had a fair share of loneliness, this movie really resonated with me more than most films I’ve watched. The film’s aim to promote growth and happiness despite loneliness and trauma makes it a great movie for the struggling teenager.
Oceans 11: Okay, if someone asked you if you wanted to contribute to a heist, you’d probably want to after watching this movie. The pure resourcefulness and wit of Danny Ocean’s crew never ceases to amaze me when watching this film.

Apps I visit on the daily? I usually use

YouTube: As someone who watches a lot of music videos, I’m bound to visit YouTube frequently.
Spotify: Music is life. Whenever my ears are free I spend my time listening to music and being absorbed in the lyrics, beats, and melodies.
Instagram: Gotta check the ‘Gram every once in a while. I follow a lot of celebrities and fashion accounts, so I’m bound to get inspiration for outfits and the like.
SNKRS: If you care about sneakers, you know about the infamy of this app. I’ve only ever won twice, and for shoes that weren’t even for me.
Discord: I don’t even play videogames to be honest, but Discord makes talking to strangers & friends about topics you like accessible at any time. I’m on the Fear of God (fashion brand) and STAYC (pop group) Discords a lot nowadays.

Favorite Things To Do Outside of School/Work:

Go Shopping: Yes, this sounds really materialistic and shallow, but I swear there’s more to it. Shopping around at clothing stores, beauty/skincare stores, and tech shops helps me spot different trends. It never hurts to know what people like to buy and what they don’t! Even shopping at crystal shops and book stores makes me excited!
Listen to Music: For a guy, I listen to a lot of female artists, so don’t be surprised to see an Ariana Grande, Doja Cat or Blackpink song playing on my Spotify.
Reading: Business books, romance novels, classic works: I like reading them all!

Coolest Thing I’ve Ever Done:

JROTC Cadet Leadership Challenge: I rappelled off of a 70 foot tower, canoed for 4 hours straight and broke a tree branch with my neck, finished a rope obstacle course high up in the air, and navigated the German woods with only a compass, ruler, and map. I got a terrible sunburn too.

Pets:

1 Dog: I’ve got one Shih Tzu named Rocky who I’ve had for almost ten years, but I love him all the same. Even when he gets loose and runs away from home, I still manage to find him thankfully.
