When I am away at college, I love hanging out with my friends and playing beach volleyball and when I return home for the summer, I enjoy hanging out with my family on the lake and spending quality time with them. I also enjoy reading as well as playing board games and I like to engage is some softball activity as well! I love going to the gym and staying active as well as baking and more recently I have gotten into cooking. Another activity of mine that I love is volunteering whenever and wherever I can whether it be at the local animal shelter or the local homeless shelter. When I'm relaxing I like to put on some of my favorite tv shows and let my body rest!
