1. I've only very recently decided to get my Teacher's Certification and
teach elementary school for at least a couple years after I graduate. While doing so,
I want to go to grad school in the evenings, summer, and winter breaks.
2. I have a boyfriend who loves me, and supports me
no matter what. He's on my team, always, and for that I am so incredibly grateful. He's my number one, my
right-hand man, my go-to guy. :]
3. College is everything I thought it would be, and more.
I love UNT with all my heart and feel like my passion alone could recruit the entire next fleet of eagle freshmen. :]
4. I long to work in a cafe again. Cafe Mezzano was the funnest job I've ever had, and even though it was years ago, I still talk about it tooo often for most people to stand.
5. I wear sunscreen
plentifully, especially in the summer. When I walk in the sun from class, I hold my hand up to keep it off my face. I have a tattoo with a peace sign that says Practice Safe Sun.
I'll buy you sunscreen if you promise to wear it.
6. I refuse to settle with a career or major that is not something I'm ridiculously interested in. I read books about marketing and psychology all the time now and just
can't stop.
7. I talk way too much, and often too loudly. I tend say some things louder than I meant, getting me into very precarious situations.
8. I'm a stickler for good grammar, and misuse of your/you're, etc. It's the perfectionist inside. It takes massive amounts of self-control not to call people out on their mistakes.
9.
My dad taught me to love learning, and it's a lesson that will stick with me to the end.
10. I like to collage and make scrapbooks. I'm obsessed with art, looking at art, particularly folk art and contemporary/modern art or photography, but am no good at doing anything else.
11. I've
never had a lame-looking bedroom. I spend alot of time in my room, so when I'm here I need to know that it fully reflects my personal style and my mindset. Simple, colorful, organized (for the most part), fun, smart.
12. I really really love kids. I love the innocence, the
playfulness, the reality, the
honesty. I want to have quite a few one day, and I want to spend plenty of time with them. I get genuinely sad and upset when I hear parents yelling at their children, like the I'm-just-tired-and-I'm-taking-it-out-on-you yelling. I can't stand that.
13. I love love LOVE exploring. I like walking around in nature, random streets, driving through neighborhoods I've never been in, watching people I've never met, snooping around building that look neat or are falling apart. I call them adventures. :]
14. I can't wait until I have my own apartment or house, with my own kitchen. I'm so excited for the days when we can buy real groceries with fresh fruits and veggies, real spices and herbs. I want to make big delicious meals from scratch with Cristian.
15. I'm on an amazing path right now that I know is leading to something even greater. I can't wait.
16. I've never smoked a cigarette in my life, and never will. I think it's a very sad habit. I especially feel bad for the kids who pick it up out of comfort, and think they can't quit. Like my little sister who thinks she "needs" one after a long day. Oh, if only Nicorette weren't so expensive.
17. I'm terrible at lots of "girl-things." I let my laundry pile up forever, I forget to take the trash out, I can't hang out with most girls for longer than an afternoon.
18. I'm apparently Sara's go-to phone call for any UNT admission issues. (She called me just now, for the 2nd time today.)
19. I keep a LiveJournal. I know it's old or whatever, but I still use it for completely selfish reasons. Writing about issues I'm having in so amazingly therapeutic to me and after a stressful day, just putting things into words makes the problem seem tangible, rather than something dwelling inside. I deleted all my friends a while back and basically use it as a diary now. I love it.
20. I want to meet people who care for the planet, like fun awesome music, have interest in art and fashion, are open-minded and fairly liberal... but don't smoke and drink 90% of their free-time, and still manage to give a damn about their grades and learning. It's a rare individual.
21. I regularly keep my dorm room stocked with: Cereal, coffee, Crystal Light Energy drink mixes, bagels&cream cheese, Cambells Soup At Hand, Ramen, Crackers, Pudding, and chips&queso. I get all my napkins, sugar, creamer, mayo, ranch, spoons, forks, knives, --even a bowl, from the cafeterias. I figure I pay way too much as it is for a meal plan, they can spare to lose a few packets of sugar for my morning coffee.
22. I FreeCycle. It's an amazing concept that I only heard about in August. Waco has one, too but I didn't know. It's like Craig's List, but the only rule is it HAS to be free. I've gotten a microwave and an emergency kit for my car. I've given bags of clothes to a family who's house burnt down in a fire. Everyone should join, seriously.
23. Mountain Dew is my favorite soda and has been since '04. I got pretty upset with the new label and wanted so badly to be able to boycott the soda until it was changed back, but after thinking realistically, am seriously considering writing a very angry letter to the Marketing Department.
24. I have an opinion on virtually everything, and love to hear other opinions. If you can open real honest dialogue with me- same opinion or not, you'll instantly earn my respect.
25. I want to travel the world. I want to go on adventures to places I've never even heard of. I want to see culture and art thriving in countries that differ from America. I want to see all of the world, and soon.
