Teryn+Donihue

Teryn Donihue lives in Hillsdale and is a big fan of [|avocados]. She also loves the color red, and [|"The Holiday"] is one of her favorite movies. If she were to pick a TV show to watch on any given night, she would choose Law and Order: SVU. However, she wouldn't mind watching any CSI episode or 24 episode. Her favorite quote comes from the Bible; the verse comes from 1 Corinthians 13:4. If you were to provide an educated guess, you would say she likes Valentine's Day.
