About Me

..
Chelsi
Benson
I grew up on 'The Emerald Isle' of Alaska. I Spent some time Northern Wisconsin… & these days I live in the Windy City; Chicago.
I attend Harrington College of Design going for a Bachelors Degree of Fine Arts in Interior Design. I am also a student council rep at HCD.
I'm a little bit of everything! I live a pretty balanced life...learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.
Smiling is contagious, and I've always got a serious case of it. Laughter is Medicine for the soul...thank goodness it doesnt cure my smile, but encourages it.
I've learned to make the best from every situation. I try to learn all the I can from my surroundings.. not letting life pass me by, but instead make everyday happy, no matter what life has thrown my way.
I set high standards for life, love, creativity, and wisdom.
I am VERY easily amused and VERY easily distracted. I’m known for my indecisiveness. I am extremely unobservant.
I’m fun-loving?, gregarious, & artistic. I enjoy nothing more than putting my creative side to the test.
I won’t lie, I love? being doted on and adored. But I am the farthest thing from being self-absorbed! I can be shy at times. I tend to be vulnerable and sometimes too nice, I can definitely be stubborn...but it never lasts long…I have my flaws, but I’m perfect at being me...I'm very confident about that & I wouldn’t have it any other way.
I love the outdoors & wilderness as well as the fast pace, social, city life.
I live for the little things & sweet nothings.
I hate drugs. I'd rather gag on a dirty sock then smoke a cigarette. I drink socially, in company of good friends.
I love? kisses on the forehead, goosebumps, and spending time with the people who never fail to make me smile!
I’m addicted to sweets & staying up late!
Hugs NOT drugs
A few goals I have... Travel the world, Make a positive impact on a complete strangers life, Make you smile, and be succesful. ....To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children, to earn the approbation of honest critics; to appreciate beauty; to give of one's self, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived--that is to have succeeded.
Today is the first day of the rest of my life. I'm gonna stop lookin' back and start movin' on And learn how to face my fears Love with all of my heart, make my mark I wanna leave something here -Rascal Flatts

First loves

I realized that first love must have a much greater effect on the way we handle our lives than we like to admit. Only those who have been in love that first time know the world has far more to it than...
