Me - Bobbie Castelli

I am an English Major and Business Minor at the University of South Carolina. My passions are English Literature, Jane Austen, Marketing, and Creative Writing. I enjoy books, Friends (the television show and the real people in my life), and pizza. Technology hates me but I like it when it works. My personal motto is that the worst thing you can do is not try at all.
