Me!
"Whatcha know ‘bout me?" -Lil Mama
Let me start at the beginning: I was born in Atlanta, Georgia into a family consisting of a supportive mother, a silly father and a beautiful and hardworking sister, Madison:
Dad, Madison, Me, Mom!
Here is a photo of Madison and me from when we were still cute: Our family band, The Cliffs.
As a child I enjoying lip-syncing to Blondie's, "Atomic" (Let's be real, Debbie Harry is one cool cat), writing silly songs with my dad, making friends with old people (To this day I still find myself enjoying the company of senior citizens. After all, they’re the ones who have the most experience with life) and copying my sister in everything she did. Through the years our family picked up a psychotic dog named Mary, two turtles that I almost killed on multiple occasions (accidents...I swear!) and as of a couple of months ago, a puppy named for Nancy Drew's boyfriend, Ned Nickerson.

For the last few weeks, I have been watching as one friend after another leaves for college. I'm the only one left to leave and according to my countdown app I have exactly 5 days, 33 minutes and 25 seconds until my plane departs the United States and heads towards Paris, France. For the next eight months I will use this blog to document my life and the adventures that lie ahead. Check back for more soon!
