Hey guys! I'm Rachel and I am 20 years old.I grew up on Long Island in a little town called Port Jefferson.Although I love living in PJ, my second home has always been New York City.Its one of the greatest cities in the world!I go to the University of Rhode Island where I'm studying Animal Management.After I graduate, I hope to become a research zoologist and possibly travel to Africa to study gorillas!I can literally spend hours upon hours studying these magnificent creatures.I have 2 cats and 1 african-grey parrot.The thing I like about animals is that they never try to be something they're not.They wan't to spend every waking moment with you. You should be worthy of such devotion.I actually think I like animals more than people!My family is the greatest, mostly because its extremely large.I grew up with 4 brothers and 1 sister.My younger brother Andrew died of heart failure when he was 14.I miss him every day, and think about him always.My friends mean everything to me. 3LC!!Krissy...the sexy punk rocker with the best personality.
