The name's Mandy.
On June 12, 2009 I'll blow out 17 candles.
I'm a summer baby who's permanently in love with winter.
I have huge dreams, yet I'm not sure exactly what I want to do with my life.
I just know that 30 years from now, I don't want to have any regrets.
I have an unhealthy obsession with music.
My flute and I have a love/hate relationship​.
I'm not trying to impress anyone.
I love jeans, hoodies, and cute shoes.
I love fall when all the leaves change colors.
Laughing and kissing are two of the best exercises ;)
The simplest things amaze me, and it doesn't take much to make my day.
I have the most amazing friends.
I'd be more impressed if a guy were to compliment my brains and personality over my looks.
I live life to the fullest and don't let anyone hold me back.
I can make any situation awkward.
I'm pretty much a ball of energy. I can't sit still for any length of time, and I'm insanely impatient.
I like the little imperfection​s of people, it makes them more real. Nothing is perfect.
My school football team is love.
I'm in love with the Penguins, and I'm always up for a conversation​ about hockey.
I have a boyfriend who is one of the most amazing guys I know :)

Anything else you wanna know just ask me :)

Everyday, think as you wake up, ‘today I am fortunate to have woken up, I am alive. I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it.
I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others, to achieve enlightenmen​t for the benefit of all beings, I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others, I am going to benefit others as much as I can.

LOVE: summer storms, hockey, the pens, vitamin water, the smell of freshly cut grass, being single, the beach, puppies, being random, music!, the smell of rain, rainy days, friday night football games, late night walks with my best friends, night, the moon, ice cream, black and white photos, good music, quotes that explain my life, classic cars, winter, snow, reading outside during summer, having fun with my friends, animals, laying in the grass watching the clouds go by, staring at the stars, soccer, swimming, running

DISLIKE: onions, rude people, waking up early, slow texters, the dark, bees, myspace, seaweed, being stuck in one place for too long, competing with another girl for a guy, sickness, bad summer weather, crying, being led on but I usually set myself up to be hurt

sure, you don't think you're pretty. but the gorgeous girl on that myspace page doesn't think she's that hot either. if we stop comparing ourselves to size zero stick-thin models, we may just find our own beauty. our beauty is not defined by our jeans size. it's not defined by our faces. its defined by the things inside our heart ; if we care for other people, if we love, if we're caring, if we're passionate, if we're happy, if we have self esteem.. beauty is much more than being thin and having perfect features. those are nothing compared to real beauty.. what's inside of each and every woman on this earth. if we show what's really inside of us, maybe guys will stop seeing us as a good night.. because we'll know we're better than that. maybe if we stop thinking "if i was that beautiful, life would be perfect"​ .. because it won't. beauty is not skin-deep.

My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.
