Intro Blog

     My name is Jenna Grivas and I am excited to start my blog. I am 16 years old and I currently work at a movie theater, a job of which I love but feel I am critically underpaid for. I have two sisters, an older sister who is 19 and a younger who is 5. I love them both unconditionally, and they love me so long as I continue giving them free tickets to the movies. My top two favorite non-human things in this world are my two dogs, Blu who was a adopted as a rescue almost 10 years ago, and Luna who is a sassy Frenchie who we allowed into our home 2 years ago. I am allergic to both dogs, and naturally the cuter dog gives me the worst allergies. Though we were unaware of my allergies until after we got the first dog, by the time we got the second they knew, but at that point I was also a middle child. This feeling of neglect has led to my serious addiction to popcorn, which is fueled by my job. I have dreams of becoming a district attorney to help bring justice to victims of senseless crimes. However, my first step of achieving this dream job is going to community college, so if you are seeking legal advise, look elsewhere. I then plan to dive head-first into a heaping pile of debt by going to FAU after and moving to Miami. Currently, I have a passion for reading, crochet and babysitting my year old sister, a job of which I love because we are at the same intellectual level. Currently I am staggering through the book American Psycho by Brent Easton Ellis, a book that I feel is impossible to read without feeling deeply angered and unsettled, but in the best way possible. My favorite book of all time is the Green Mile by Stephen King because it was the first book that made me cry and launch me into an existential crisis. Some of my achievements include getting my first job at 15, and becoming a lead mentor in the Soaring L's program. I am also the first generation to be born in the US, with my mom coming from Belarus, and my dad coming from Greece. I love this mix because it means I can speak Russian almost fluently and I have citizenship in Greece. My favorite artists include Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Queen and Nirvana. Classic rock has always inspired me and because I grew up listening to these, it felt like having a third parent. I also have a passion for true crime and horror.
