Hey, how’s it going? My name is Ava Thanasiu, and I’m a sophomore. I love music of most genres, especially 80s and 90s rock so if you have an interest in any songs, or are currently looking for a certain one, let me know! I love to play drums and the electric guitar, and reading is relaxing for me. I hope one day I will figure out what I would like to do when I grow up.
