I'm a 23 y/o guy who lives in NJ. I work as a waiter (and supervisor to some degree) at a local breakfast food chain restaurant. I live with some great friends. I like to dine out, spend time with family and friends, read, and work (I like my job...something not many people can say). In general, things are pretty good right now!
