Alex is proud to be a SENIOR!! When not running around being Blair's own paparazzi, she enjoys hanging out with her fatties in crime, being ridiculous, and sleeping/ eating herself into a coma. She also enjoys dancing till she drops, laughing out loud to a point of embarrassment, and driving with the music blasting. She's also happy to be a part of SCO's amazing staff.
