Nicknames: 
at School people call me Ally. My friend calls me CeCe, my friend Daniel calls me Sweet Sally, my brother calls me Salt.
I have this problem of apologizing when I cry. It might sound ridiculous, but I feel like it’s my responsibility to be happy and positive for others and I hate the feeling of dumping my problems on other people. But I know feelings are what make me human.

On Food:
I love, love, LOVE! coffee; the experience as much as the taste. 
I don’t cook. I toast and I microwave. I am fanatical about chocolate and dessert. If I could, I would eat three desserts after every meal. 
I hate fish. The taste, the smell, the concept. I don’t even like snorkeling or fish as pets. And please don’t ask me if I’ve tried Salmon or Swordfish or whatever other species you think tastes like chicken.
I am allergic to nuts except for peanuts and almonds. Spotting them in a cashew cream sauce or walnut paste is harder than you might think.

On Family, Friends & Relationships
I love my family.
My parents met at school. They are the smartest people I’ve ever met in their own very different ways.
I have one sibling, an older brother, who makes me laugh like no one else can.
It’s important to me to have guy friends. I find it refreshing.
For as long as I can remember, my friends and boyfriends have always been older than me. Sometimes by as much as 10 years.  My whole life people have told me I’m an “old soul.”
I am very loyal.
I’m pretty independent and I like my space: it’s hard for me to be around someone (or people in general) 24/7.
I love being with someone who enjoys sports.
I refuse to yell at my significant other or be yelled at.
I am a romantic at heart. :P

On Money: 
I saved all my birthday money as a child because I knew I would want to spend it on something bigger one day.
My brother and I plan to be millionaires. (someday we might) 
I never want to stay in a relationship that makes me unhappy because I can’t afford to leave.
I find the challenge of personal finance fun and creative.

On Sports & Activities:

I’m a football fanatic and have been since ag 13. 
When I’m at a game, there is usually NOWHERE else I want to be.
I love dancing. My guilty-pleasure career is to be an cheerleader (not that I would make the team).
I’ve dabbled in many forms of dance: jazz, hip-hop, ballet. (for fun xD) 
I LOVE being active: hiking, ice skating, dancing, beach volleyball.

On Reading & Writing:
As a child, I accumulated hundreds of books and read almost one a week.
My love for books they inspired me to start a library operation out of my bedroom when I was ten years old. 
I started writing a novel in elementary school that I never finished.
99% of the books I read are non-fiction because I like learning facts, strategies and new ideas. If I can learn one new thing from a book, I consider it worth reading.
I write in my journal almost every night, and have kept daily diaries since seventh grade. I am terrified that one day someone will read them all.
I now know, deep in my heart and gut, that I was somehow born to be an author.
