Devastated, Germanotta returned to the solace of the family home for Christmas

P.O.D
In the preceding months an insecure Germanotta began to shut out anything and anybody that reminded her former life. Blaming her “freakish nature” for her failure and her emotional toil, Germanotta decided that she must conform to the norms of society in order to achieve any personal happiness. Enrolling in a public university, she decided to pursue a business degree in order to become a Certified Public Accountant. While in college Germanotta only hung around with a select group of people due to her emerging introverted personality and rarely dated. Friends described her as a “beautiful yet shy young woman.” College saw Germanotta becoming more politically conservative and in the 2008 Presidential Election she voted for John McCain. It also saw her becoming closerto God and she admits it “revitalized her Catholic faith.” As of 2011 Germanotta age 25 has been certified as a CPA and is working at H&R Block.
