20 Random Facts About Me

I saw this on a friend's blog a while ago and wanted to do it...and then I didn't. So! Now I'm going to do it! It's a list of 30 things that you write about yourself everyday, but since I'm in college and this is like the busiest 3 weeks of this semester, I'm going to shorten it to every week. (Yes, the reason I'm writing right now is because I finished the easier parts of my homework and I am now procrastinating.) I got this list from a friend who got it from: Hopes and Dreams.
Okay, so the first thing is 20 random things about me.

  1. I hate seagulls. (Like seriously, I do. And I'm currently living in Utah where they love seagulls.)
  2. I once watched 7 movies in one day. Dedication people!
  3. I go Country Swing dancing on Tuesdays.
  4. I got to meet Jenny Phillips, Jon Schmidt, Downtown Fiction, and Big Time Rush!
  5. I love writing fiction and sometimes poems.
  6. My favorite fun-to-read book is the Miss Match series by Erynn Mangum
  7. I won a cruise with Taylor Swift! (Coolest thing!)
  8. I really want to have a six-pack...or even abs that you can see.
  9. My favorite animal is a wolf. (I also apparently pronounce wolf wrong.)
  10. I really like making people laugh...I will do pretty much anything to make people laugh.
  11. Lollipops are gross.
  12. I really enjoy learning about History. (I'm taking a British Literature class right now, and I love it. It's also the class that I'm procrastinating writing a paper for....)
  13. If I could become famous somehow, that would be great. (but not for being the most awkward human being on the planet, but I'm on my way to that award as things are going right now)
  14. Peanut butter toast with chocolate chips in a sandwich is perfection. (The chocolate melts and yum. Ghetto Nutella right there.)
  15. I once danced dared 30+ people at one dance. (Don't know what this is? Watch this! And I wasn't caught either)
  16. I gave my number to 60 guys...(All here at BYU, so not that bad!) 
  17. I love the Gamecocks! (Mostly just the football)
  18. I have a scar on my cheek and a plastic surgeon had to be brought in to make sure it wouldn't scar too badly. (Yup, I got plastic surgery when I was 5. Skills.)
  19. I get super competitive.
  20. I legitimately skipped class only once in my high school career. (Sophomore year and Spanish.)

Inner Motivation

I’m really good at doing what people tell me to do. Like, give me an assignment and I can get it done! The harder part comes when you give me more freedom. Like I have to call all the shots?? I actually got feedback from one of my internship supervisors that related to this. I walked into the one on one thinking I was going to get perfect marks. And he surprised me! But in a good way, he told me, “You’re really great at coming to us and asking what you can do to help. I would love it if instead of coming to us and asking what you could do, you instead came to us with an idea or even something that you had already done. Fulfill a need and take that initiative! You are a part of this internship for a reason and we trust you.” That was probably the best constructive feedback I have ever gotten and I really took it in stride. I started looking for ways I could help and contribute instead of just asking. Flash-forward two years later and I was walking into another one on one with

Lessons from a Movie: Ford v Ferrari

Image
So, this is going to sound very ‘English Major’ of me, but I love finding the life-lessons in movies. Or maybe not even finding the lesson, but what did the movie get me to reflect on. I think I can safely blame this on my parents and my background as an English major.  (Side note: I once wrote a paper comparing two Star Trek movies and how the villains reflected world events at the time. It was my favorite paper to write, I just watched the two movies!)  Back to my previous thought, I can blame my parents because after movies we would always debrief on the car ride home. We talked about what we liked and what we thought about the movie (the Avengers series is a lovely conversation starter and I have all the thoughts about those, but to give you a snippet- I’m a big Iron Man fan). Anyways, this weekend we went and saw Ford v Ferrari. It was really good and I was pleasantly surprised! To be honest, I only went because Micah really wanted to watch it and we hadn’t been to t

5 Ways to Make Working Out in the AM Easier

Image
Now, let me first say it says easier, it doesn’t say easy peasy! Starting a workout routine or even starting healthy habits takes time and patience with yourself! Be sure to set achievable goals so that you can start off on the right foot. This means if you don’t work out at all right now, don’t make a goal to work out every day! Think about your schedule and set an achievable goal for yourself. This could be anything from 1 day to 3, but be sure to take small steps. Your fitness is not a destination, it’s a journey! When I first started adding a fitness routine into my daily schedule I started off working out after work. At the time it worked great, but I started to notice that things would start creeping into my workout time. For example, dinner, hanging out with friends, being super tired, etc. I was able to overcome those things, but I really wanted to have more time after work to relax or hang out with friends (this was pre-corona). I moved my workouts to the morning startin
