1.) Family has become more important to me as I have grown older. Sure, there are ups and downs in any family, but they are the ones that are always there. Whether it be immediate or distant family, you know there are always people who care about you.
2.) I never expected my life to be where it is right now. I never excepted to be engaged and living in an apartment with my fiance by my sophomore year of college. But honestly, I wouldn't trade it for the world. This may sound cliche, but what Dan and I have is special. And I don't know where I would be right now without it.
3.) My friends also mean the world to me. I have learned over the past few months who my true friends are, and I cherish them more then anything. I may not talk to you all the time, or see you that often, but you all still mean the world to me, and without you all I would be nothing.
4.) I am such an animal lover. I always knew I loved animals, but I realized it even more when we took in a stay cat that I just couldn't part with. We now have two cats. A kitten named Adie and about a 2 year old named Mr Wallace. I'm so glad to have animals now, my life was so incomplete without them when I lived in the dorms.
5.) I have severe anxiety. I tend to freak out way too easily. Yes, I do realize it, believe it or not. And I'm trying my best to control it...I just wish it was as easy as it may sound. But I am getting help for myself, and I feel like that's the best I can do right now. Hopefully, it will improve.
6.) While we are on the subject of health, I also have fibromyalgia. It affects my life more then it should, and I am working every day on trying to manage it better and live my life the absolute best way I can with it. While it definitely limits me from some things, I am learning to try and not let it control me or my life. I have my good days and bad days, but after all, don't we all?
7.) I love music. Music runs my life, what can I say? If you ask me what kind of music I like though, I wouldn't know how to answer you. I don't like specific genres, artists, etc. I always judge by the individual song. I don't care how it "rates" or where it falls in categories. If I like the song, I like it because of what it is.
8.) I never used to care what was going on in the world, unless it affected me directly. I've recently gotten much better with that, and actually read the news on occasion, and even voted this past year. I am finally starting to realize the importance of being involved in the world I live in.
9.) I'm a big believer in helping with causes. There are many wonderful causes out there that need alot of help. I will always try to help in any way that I can, even if it's not monetary. Every bit of help makes a difference, and I like knowing that I am doing at least SOMETHING.
10.) Speaking of which, I love to give blood and get sad whenever I am rejected due to pulse or blood pressure or whatever. I feel like that is something I can truly to give back, and I know people who have needed it before, so it makes it even more personal for me.
11.) As much as I care about people, I am really bad at keeping in touch. I have no idea why. It's not like I don't want to talk to these people, its just that I'm horrible at it. Call me. Text me. Write on my facebook wall, I promise I will answer. But for some reason I'm SO bad at initiating it.
12.) And not only do I care about people, I always want to help. Some people say I care too much, but I just always feel this need to help people and help them make things be ok. That being said, if you ever need anyone, I promise I'm always here.
13.) I really want to travel the world someday. I wish I could go everywhere. I don't know if that will ever happen or not, but it's what I want. So far I've only make it to Canada and Mexico, but that's a start, right?
14.) I'm a people person. I love to talk, and have heard that I'm a good listener as well. I love learning about people and just having meaningful or even duller conversations with them. I find other people so fascinating.
15.) I can speak a bit of Spanish, as I took it for 2 1/2 years in High School and went to Mexico for 2 weeks and lived with a host family there. I want to take more Spanish here in college so I can learn to speak it at least somewhat fluently.
16.) I like to be comfortable. I will dress up if its for fun or if it is required for some reason, but otherwise I just like hanging out and being comfortable. My sweatpants/pajamas from AE and VS are the best and I would wear them forever if I could.
17. I love pictures. Taking them, being in them, looking at them, etc. I believe pictures are a wonderful way to capture moments and have them live on. Things change, people change, but the pictures are always there.
18. I can't sing worth anything, although apparently its not quite as bad as I thought. But anyways, just because I can't do it, it doesn't mean I won't on some occasions. I have to be pretty comfortable with who I'm with first though.
19. I can't make chocolate chip cookies for the life of me. Can you guess why? Simple. Because I'm a HUGE fan of chocolate chip cookie dough and usually get distracted because I'm eating the dough.
20. Speaking of which, I love chocolate. Call me crazy, but chocolate just has this way of making everything better. That and ice cream. Chocolate ice cream is amazing, and a chocolate milkshake just rules all together.
21. Facebook is seriously my addiction. I need to check it like wayyy too often. It's almost unhealthy. But I'm not TOO bad I suppose, because I can pry myself away from it when I need to.
22. I hate drama, which is ironic in a way because I used to be right in the middle of some serious drama. But I'm done. I'm so over it. Life is too short to deal with that all the time.
23. I love quotes and could even say I'm addicted to them too. I love trying to find ones that fit my life, or ones that I want to try to live by, or ones that are just funny and make my day better. I also love the bumper stickers application on facebook for that very reason.
24. I'm a psychology major and I love my psych classes. I can't wait to actually get deeper into it, and what I really can't wait for is working with people. My goal with my career is to help as many people as I possibly can. And I feel like it will work out. Hopefully.
25. I've never been a huge fan of school, except for maybe when I was younger. I'm just doing my best to try to get through it, so I can do what I really want to do with my life. I realize I need the education, I just wish there was some easier way to do it.
26. I have never actually dyed my hair. Yes the red is natural. I have gotten it highlighted several times though, and do keep planning on continuing that at least periodically throughout my life. Nothing wrong with a bit unnatural, right?
27. I have two piercings in each ear and my cartilage pierced in each ear as well. I got my cartilages done when I was going through a rough time...but I love them now and plan on keeping them. I also think I'm gonna stop there. I think that's enough for me.
28. I think that going on random trips to Denny's at like 3am is one of the funnest things ever to do. I can't even begin to describe it, it's just so interesting and entertaining. And the other night, it was that entertaining around 1am too....
29. I love living in Portland. I'm not smack in the middle of it, so its nice, and its such an improvement from Downeast Maine. Don't get me wrong, I do love where I'm from, but there is so much more to do down here and its just easier to get to things in general.
30. Life sure is an interesting journey, but I'm starting to enjoy it more and more every day.
