Friends

There's a famous quote: "friends are the family we choose ourselves." My friends are a huge part of my life and have definitely influenced who I am today.

Aaliyah

This is Aaliyah, she's been one of my best friends since seventh grade. Aaliyah is one of the sweetest, funniest, and most supportive friends I have. We also have really similar taste in almost everything, we have the same music taste (from one direction to mayday parade and practically everything in between), we love the same tv shows, and (this sounds weird but i swear it's important in a friendship!!) share a lot of the same political views + general opinions about the world. She's a super great person to be around & I'm so glad to have her in my life!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Arula

This is Arula, she's been another one of my best friends since seventh grade! She's such a sweet person and super motivated and ambitious. She's going to go very far in life & I'm so so proud to be her friend. She's an incredibly talented artist and just a really great person to be around!

 

 

 

Jocelyn, Selena, Yudith & Me at Bondi Beach, Australia

This past summer I travelled to Australia, Fiji, and New Zealand through a government program called People to People Student Ambassadors. Those three weeks were definitely some of the most enriching and fun weeks of my life! Jocelyn, Selena, & Yudith are some of my best friends from the trip. Yudith (far left) is so incredibly outgoing and friendly but also incredibly easy to approach and talk to. Jocelyn (center) is incredibly friendly, smart, and hilarious, all things I'm very jealous of! Selena is honestly such an amazing person, she is so sweet all the time and we have the same taste in music and a lot of books and tv shows. I have so many amazing memories with all three of them & I miss them a ton!!
