Hi everyone! My name is Alyssa, I'm 16 and this is my first year writing for the Stinger. I have always enjoyed writing and I am looking forward to sharing my opinions through this lovely site. I don't play any sports because, frankly, I have no athletic abilities, I even took PE over the summer. I love cold rainy weather and fall clothing. I am completely in love with the city of Santa Barbara and would spend all my time there, if I could. I love sunflowers, dogs, and watching the sunset, particularly when the sky is full of clouds. I find joy in spending times with friends, family, and dogs. I am looking forward to this year and I will try my best to write interesting stories!
