All About Me

Hi everyone, my name is Taylor Long. I'm a freshmen here at JSU. I was born and raised in Louisville,KY. My birthday is March 4th. I'm 18 years old. My parent's names are Julie and Jason. I have two brothers whose names are Taron and Jae. I have three sisters whose names are Justine, Chania, and Zoe. My family situation is a bit different in the sense that I just met my brother Jae and my sisters when I was 16 because we all have different moms. This was a very surreal moment in my life just because I grew up with only one brother (Taron) and then to meet 4 other siblings was very cool but also a tad bit overwhelming. But I'm glad that I was lucky enough to have not just one sibling but 5.

I attended private catholic schools for all of schooling prior to JSU. One of the main rules was that a uniform must be worn everyday. So now one of my biggest challenges as a college student besides making it to class on time is picking out what I’m going to wear everyday. This may sound trivial but to me it’s important.  It prompted many shopping trips this summer that I can’t say I didn’t enjoy. But since I'm on the volleyball team and practice everyday I don't really have to energy to get dressed up.

As I mentioned above I am on the volleyball team. I came on a visit to JSU last January and I loved the campus and the southern hospitality. All summer I was busting at the seams because I was so excited to get to come to JSU. So far I''m loving it and I hope I love it just as much as the school year continues! I looking forward to getting to know you all better!
