Mirissa

Sri Lanka 

Pick up your trash from the beach. Recylce your plastic bags. Find out what pollutes the ocean.

I think it was freshman year that I stood in line with Kayla about seven hours for the midnight release of Breaking Dawn. We were the first two in line so we got free T-shirts from Barnes & Noble. I remember going home that night and reading until five in the morning and finishing the book up the next day.
