In this first post, I just want to give you guys a real look into what it means to be a boss but first I’m going to tell you guys a little bit about myself.

I’ve just turned 23, I’m a Gemini and I have an overactive creative mind. I’m the girl at the party that can have a ball vibin’ out to music and observing EVERYTHING. The way I take in a scene gives me a point of view and insight that you won’t find in too many people. I call myself the introverted extrovert because I crave and love social interactions but then I’m definitely better with one-on-one personal interactions with other people. People who don’t know me would probably say I’m quiet but then my close friends would say differently and if I get to know you on the one-on-one you would probably change your initial perception of me.
