My wardrobe consists of anything girly or anything comfy. I honestly don't have a specific brand or label I wear. I wear whatever looks cute or is comfy.
Sweaters and leggings are what I most like to wear at home so I'm comfy. Sweaters are probably one of my most common clothing I wear.
I also wear grunge clothing. Grunge clothing consisting of combat boots, grunge band shirt, and a fannel.
There will be times where I dress completely girly. I'm in love with dresses or anything in that category.

What are your entertainments or interests? What movies do you watch? What music do you listen to? What do you like to do in your free time?
My entertainment and interests may be uneventful to some. Some movies I enjoy are funny, horror, action, and romantic.
The only time I watch a comedy movie is when I'm in the mood to laugh. Any other time I'm watching something else.
Horror movies are what get my fear out. They may scare me but they are also interesting.
Action movies get me in a hyper mood. I really like the action and the shooting.
Romantic movies make me cry and be happy. They are my top favorite.
The music I listen to varies on how I feel. I listen to rap to jazz to alternative to grunge to some country to pop to anything.
In my free time, I like to read, watch my favorite tv shows, paint my nails, sleep, eat , spend time with my boyfriend, or make coffee.
Reading helps me relax when I'm really stressing out. I really like romantic book more than any other books.
When I have literally nothing to do, I watch Netflix and lay in bed. The shows I watch on Netflix are Orange Is The New Black, Vampire Diaries, The Originals, Law & Order : SVU, any Disney movie, and Criminal Minds.
I paint my nails every Sunday. I like to switch up the nail color every week, that way it isn't the same basic color.
Whenever I come on Fridays, I go straight to my bed and fall asleep. Sleep is also something that helps me get rid of stress and complications in my life.
When I need someone to come entertain me, my boyfriend comes over and watches my favorite kinds of movies. We sometimes go out on dates but mostly staying inside.
FOOD. I love food. My favorite food would have to be Mac'n'Cheese. I make it every other week. I can't go a month or even three weeks without Mac'n'Cheese.
I drink coffee every chance I get. I mostly drink it in the morning or at night. It helps me relieve the stress I have going on.

I honestly don't know what economic system my family operates out of. My mom works for Protection Plus; doing anything she can to help put a roof over our heads, food in our tummies and clothes on our backs. My father jumps from job to job, unable to keep a stable job due to not enough money. When it comes to food with my family, we shop at Walmart or Kroger. My mother has coupon deals with them. As far as clothes goes, we get clothes anywhere such as Khols, Walmart, sometimes the mall, Target or Kmarts.

My family's heritage or background is complicated. My mother was from Illinios, she currently doesn't have a husband. She is mixed with German, Indian, Irish, and French. Her mother is also from Illinios but I do not know where her mother came from. My mother's father is from Indiana and was in the Vietnam War. His parents are unknown. My father is full Hispanic. His father is from Texas and is also full Hispanic. I can't really go back into my family's heritage due to how broken it is.
What types of foods do you eat?
When it comes to food, I will eat whatever. If it's Mexican, Italian, American, Russian, Indian, etc. my most favorite would have to be Hispanic foods. I may not be full Hispanic but I enjoy their food.
