I'm AMANDA. Basically, I'm average. I just turned 18 in February, I start college in July, and I can kinda be a bitch.. blahblahblah. boring. Actually, none of that defines me. So, let me start over. First off, I'm Italian. I love my heritage probably just as much as any good Italian does. And, obviously, Italian food is my favorite. But Mexican makes a close second. Something I love just as much as my heritage is FASHION. See how both my name & my second love are in bold? That's 'cause thats all you need to remember. I am fashion. It's been my passion for as long as I can remember. So don't be surprised if in a few years you see me dressing all your favorite celebrities. I start at the Art Institute of Philadelphia in July. Speaking of Philly, it's my city. And I can't imagine living anywhere else. Except for maybe Italy. By now, I probably sound pretty stuck up. But, the truth is, I'm a pretty down to earth person. Aside from my fashion obsession and love for everything luxe, I have a lot of other things in my life I cherish. Most importantly, my animals. I love animals. I have a dog, two cats, and a fish. They all mean the world to me, and I really am worried about having to live in my dorm at college without a pet to come home to after classes. And, while I know she isn't technically a real cat or anything, I'm pretty obsessed with Hello Kitty. Childish, I know, but I really can't help myself. On a totally honest note though, I don't really like kids too much.. unless they're not old enough to talk yet. Yeah, they're absolutely adorable and everything, but I really can't picture myself having them. I also love ecclectic stuff; piercings, tattoos, etc. Boys with these things are my absolute weakness. And I gotta be honest, if you fit this bill, you can talk to me 24/7. Anddd, speaking of guys.. I'm not awesome with relationships. I have some intense trust issues, and I'm more of a party person than a stay home and cuddle person (although cuddling is neat). If I come across an awesome guy then that whole last statement gets completely thrown in the trash, but usually, relationships are a no-go for me.
Aside from all this stuff, I'm a pretty mundane person. I've been through a lot of stupid shit in my life that I should have never had to face, but I did. I have anxiety and I'll never be comfortable in my own body, or with the way I look. All of this sometimes makes making & keeping friends a big problem. But I can't say I'd change any of this. It's made me the person I am right now. And if you knew the old me, you'd agree. Overall, I'm a strong person. I know exactly what I want from life. I'm definetly still learning but I hope that never stops.
