When my pals in high school were starting to drink, it always looked unappealing to me. I would be at a big party and see one of the popular girls or football players completely wasted and puking and acting a fool, and think to myself, there is nothing cool about that. I never wanted to be that out of control.

The thing that bums me out about 'The Real World' is I don't want to believe that teenagers are that stupid.

Food is my thing, I do not smoke or drink, so food is my vice.
