this is how
i'd describe myself..
*College has transformed me into the largest nerd ever. It's made me loose touch with my spirituality,forget how to relax,never take 'me time',overthink everything,etcetera. There are somepositive things resulting from the college transformation, for i.e., I've got a great work ethic, I know what I want to do with my life,I'm involved with college-wide and department-wide activities,I've gained a sense of independence in every aspect but finances, and I'm becoming an advocate for some really great causes like mental illness, Autism ,Angelmans Syndrome,etc.. Describing myself is rough nowadays since all I think of is schoolwork..
*As you might be able to tell,my life is consumed by college. I'm a SENIOR @ Slippery Rock University. My major is Therapeutic Recreation and I cannotwait to put grad school on hold & just go ahead & get into the field in about a year! After much thought and hands-on experience, I've decided I want to work with pediatrics.
*I LOVE the activities I do on campus:TR Club, University Programming Board-University Events, Homecoming, Golden Key International Honour Society, Lamba Sigma Society & Phi Sigma Pi. Getting involved with a bunch of activities is the polar opposite of who I was in HS & that absolutely thrills me that I accomplished something for once.
*I'm originally from Champion,OH, a town which is barely a dot on any map. I'm currently in Slippery Rock,PA, a town supposedly "known 'round the world" due to the university. Small town life has made me yearn for city life. The cold weather for the entirety of my life has made me yearn for mild weather with little to no snow and sunshine[no snow @ christmas just isn't christmas]. We'll see where life takes me in about a year, I'll be crossing my fingers for sunshine & city life.
*I'd love to be able to travel one day. I've been blessed with a couple of opportunities to travel to sone great places: Wyoming,Nebraska, NYC, Washington D.C., Spain. And I'd like to add Ireland, Italy, Georgia, Virginia & s'more to the list..
*I absolutely adore the ladies I'm proud to call my friends. Distance makes it tough to stay close but we'll certainly be friends til the end.
*Another person who isn't so bad is my amazing boyfriend, Greg. We've been dating for a smidgen over three & a half years. He's been through a lot with me and because of me & I think perhaps he'll just get to stick around for longer. ;) This is definitely applicable to our relationship:
10 RULES FOR A GIRL DATING A CAR GUY:
1. Do NOT attempt to buy him clothes or cologne; he does not want them, he wants car parts!
2. Do NOT complain when he is in a bad mood after something on his car breaks; you are just as pissy when you break a nail!
3. Do NOT complain when he spends time at car cruises or races; you go to the mall, tanning, and salon just as much!
4. Do NOT complain when his car gets more attention than you; he loves you both equally.
5. Do NOT complain when his car is "too loud" or he is driving "too fast"; get in or get out!
6. Do NOT complain when his phone has a picture of his car and not of you; it is in the garage and you are next to him.
7. Do NOT cry if you are pulled over while you are with him; it is not the first time, and it is not the last!
8. Do NOT expect him to "pimp" your ride like his; this is not bath-towels, so it is not his & hers.
9. Do NOT expect to always ride in the front seat when his friends are around; you are the smallest, so you can squeeze in the back!
10. Do NOT touch anything in his car; it is delicate... he does not touch anything in your make-up case!
