Everything happens for a reason. -- my mom used to tell me this ALL the time, and it's something i live by.

A little about me. My name is Aarika. I'm a 21yr old jersey girl lookin for a man. Im simple for the most part and i dont ask for much. I'm lookin for a guy who can prove to me that not all guys are the same. I want someone who will listen and actually care. I'm a student at Ramapo College and im studying law and society which is basically a criminal justice degree.

I'm family oriented. My family means everything to me, and it's important that whoever im with feels the same. I'm an independent woman you to have a social life outside of a relationship...I LOVE hanging out with my friends you should too. I'm not a jealous person...but trust is a major thing with me. if i cant trust you then it won't work out.

I love sports. If it weren't for a back injury, i'd most likely be playing volleyball/basketball in college. I miss it. I love watching football and occasionally you'll find me outside throwing one around. I LOVE music of all kinds but i mostly listen to country, r n b, hip hop, rock...music has helped me in more ways then one, i need it. i like to joke around. I'm very sarcastic and sometimes it gets me in trouble.

I've been through more sh*t in my short 21 years then most people will have to deal with in their entire life, but I never let anything bring me down. I'm very goal oriented and when I set my mind to something I will achieve it.
