You've probably heard a lot about me. I'm a slacker, I'm a loser, I don't have any responsibilities, etc., because I like to go out with my friends, because I like to drink sometimes, because I'd rather go out and just sit on a tailgate instead of sitting inside playing video games.

Don't get me wrong, I have days that I want to stay in and sleep all day, and I have nothing against people who want to stay in and play video games; it's just not something that I want to do.

During the fall, I love going to a football game and cheering on my favorite team with my friends, and after, I love going to a bonfire and dancing in a field without a care in the world. There are so many things that people assume about me when I tell them stories of nights that I've went out.

I am not a slacker, or lazy or a freeloader. I'm not immature and I'm not irresponsible. I'm a hard-worker, I'm mature at the right times and young and carefree when I need to be. I'm responsible, and most of all, I'm balanced.

Yes, I like to go out and drink with my friends, but I also work 40 plus hour weeks at my two jobs. I like to go out and shop and go out to the movies, but I also know how to budget my money to pay my rent and other bills. I know how to balance my life so that I can have fun, but I also know when I need to be an adult and be responsible.

I’m the girl that likes to go out with her friends, who likes to drink and be carefree. However, I am also the girl who has her priorities straight, is a hard-worker and down-to-earth. That is called balance, and that is OK.
