One of my best friends in college was one of those girls that is absolutely gorgeous without knowing it, but also HILARIOUS and totally willing to make fun of herself at the same time…She never took herself too seriously and she always managed to make others feel amazing too…If you spend five minutes with her you’re almost guaranteed to laugh your head off and hear one of her many funny accents…She just has the best sense of humor.
