A Little About Me:

Hi! My name is Amanda, I'm 21, and I am a student at Missouri State University in Springfield.

This spring semester is quite possibly going to be ridiculous as well. I'd like to still be included on any bookrings/rays, I've signed up for. They'll all eventually go out, I promise.

---> I guess I'm having PM troubles, so if you've sent me a PM and I haven't replied within 2 or 3 days, please send me an email at: [email protected] <---
