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!

  2. I think it's awesome getting to meet all of your siblings! With all of them you could claim you're a homeschool family. I'm just joking but I also have a friend that's from Louisville and I wonder if you both lived there at the same time. Plus good luck with the volleyball!

  3. That is such an awesome story. It must`ve been hard but so exciting to know that you have so large of a family and it must`ve been wonderful getting to know them. I went to a private Christian school and played volleyball as well but I`m no where near good enough to play for college. I think its really awesome to meet someone who I can watch and cheer for when I go to games, and you better believe I`ll be cheering. I`m glad to hear that you`re loving Alabama and JSU and I hope to get to know you better.
