Who am I? I’m really just a simple girl, there’s nothing I feel really stands out about me. That’s probably why I find it so painful to describe myself–but I’ll do my best, yes? My name is Jasmine Constantino, and I’m an 18 year old girl. I live in Yonkers, NY with my mother, father, and brother. I’ve had some difficulties in my life, but overall, I feel very happy and privileged. I don’t get upset very easily at all, and many of my close friends wonder if I even have the ability to get mad. Overall, at surface value, I’m just a nice and simple person who’s trying to live their life. I can’t really fluff this up anymore since I don’t really notice much about myself, but a few more things about me that give shallow insight into who I ‘am’ are:

I love animals so much. Just so incredibly much, I always have. Right now I have 5 pets: a dachshund, a sun conure (as shown), two parakeets, and a fish. Soon I’ll be adopting an albino axolotl (as shown). I just love how there are so many different kinds of animals, I love seeing an animal I’ve never seen before. I want to see all the animals.

I love food, or more specifically, baked treats. Baking and experimenting and seeing what happens is one of my hobbies. I love reading recipes, and I just enjoy the variety of things one can make with the right ingredients. I want to try all different kinds of baked goods and snacks, from all across the world, not just your average cookie (even though I love them so).

I’m the type of person that can get along with most people once I’m comfortable enough. I can get along with people, but it takes a lot for me to get attached to someone, and once I do, I’m attached. Pictured is me and one of my best friends, who I love very much. I treasure my friends and family very much so.

I don’t want to be stuck in one place all my life. I want to travel and experience what the world has to offer. It’s really a dream of mine one day, when people ask me, “Oh, what countries have you visited?” to be able to say, “All of them.”

I used to be part of an advanced art class in highschool, called ‘Art Academy’, and I would compete in competitions. I even managed to win first place in some. When I was little, I wanted to be an artist–if I only had myself to worry about, I wouldn’t care if I had to live in a box, as long as I got to do something I love. But I want to be able to support my family and pay back my parents, so I gave it up in order to pursue something more practical–business. I’m planning on majoring in international marketing.

I’m perpetually tired, and as a result, I love sleeping. In highschool, I always got in trouble for falling asleep in class. I’ve fallen asleep standing up, in a tree, on a boat. There’s a lot of embarrassing pictures of me sleeping weirdly that I could have shared, but here’s a pretty bed instead.
