But coming here for the first time in years it made me feel even more so.

I’m just like every other girl who likes to shop, likes to look good, likes to spend time with friends

I don't spend a lot of my time in the locker room. That's my least favourite place in the world.

I still love things that you don't even need to pay for. Going to the beach and being around five of your friends and having a good time means so much more than going out and spending hundreds of dollars.

Whenever I have friends over, we end up eating and talking and losing track of time, and, once in a while, singing karaoke. It reminds me of the family meals we had in Russia, which always lasted a very long time. That's a tradition I miss.
