1. I am the tallest one in my immediate family. My dad is like a hair shorter, but the rest are tiny people.

2. I have so many jobs because none of them are full-time nor will they give me the amount of hours I want. If I had it my way, I would only have one full-time job.

3. Which job would I keep, if I had the choice? None. Each has their own love/hate relationship with me. I'd rather just be a full-time teacher already.

4. Every time my mom and Bangs yell at me over materialistic possessions, it makes me wonder more and more how they would feel if they had nothing. My family, including me, we're so spoiled and just do not get it. Life is more than shopping and petty arguments.

5. It breaks me when I'm forgotten, left out of the loop or people have just moved on from me, but I'm used to never being secure in anything.

6. And when they've moved on, I'm slowly but surely learning to move on as well.

7. I love Delta Phi Epsilon & my sisters more than anything. Best decision I have ever made. It has taught me so much about life, love, trust and, yes, it's even made me more feminine. I will be going alumni in April and am already looking into alumni opportunities at the national level.

8. I used to have big dreams. I wanted to be an actress who would write and direct my own movies, sort of like a female Catholic Woody Allen. Then reality sunk in.

9. Google 'The Most Depressing Day of the Year'. Most studies will show you it's January 24th, my birthday. Hooray!

10. My hair is the longest it has been since Kindergarten. I love it.

11. If it's not from Tiffany's, I'm saying no. I'm not lying. .5 carat princess cut, it's not that hard. Granted I'm years removed from engagement/marriage/all that crap and I'm usually not all about expensive jewelry, but it's one thing I will be wearing for the rest of my life.

12. I have a silly personality but a no-nonsense, mature lifestyle.

13. Sometimes I do wish I was more adventurous. I'm too scared to be, though.

14. My favorite big dog brand name is Burberry. The only thing I own that's Burberry is perfume, though. One day, though, my wardrobe will have significant pieces of Burberry.

15. Being a basketball coach is more rewarding than I had ever expected. I love my JV girls and the improvements they've made. And I really hope I get the soccer coaching position!

16. I want four kids, a ton of cats and a dachshund in my own McMansion. I don't care if it's a cliche or just really lame, I really want the suburbia/exurbia dream.

17. My cousin Grant, my grandmother (RIP) and I are the only three on my mom's entire side of the family with blue eyes. It's almost like The Giver, where we have the gift or something.

18. I really should start going to church more, but I'm tired of sitting in pews alone, staring at families and not focusing on God like I should.

19. I am very fortunate to have someone like Dave in my life. It makes every other broken heart/broken spirit seem so insignificant compared to such a rare find like him.

20. I only have two classes left before student teaching. I'm terrified of student teaching and having to get a real job/real life.

21. Often times I find myself having zero motivation. It is directly contributed to the negativity from people I experience.

22. I don't like to toot my own horn, but I am a really good driver. I've had one accident (not my fault), one ticket (I fought it down to impeding traffic) and I did drive my car into a sandpit once (totally my fault). However, I can parallel park or back into a parking spot like no one else.

23. I dress for comfort, not style. I hate dressing up, even business casual. Jeans, t-shirt, hoodie, that's me.

24. I miss being as active as I was in high school, playing two sports and working out all the time. Even not playing indoor anymore, it sucks. But I hope to get back into the swing of things soon.

25. I'm a liberal-leaning moderate. More liberal on social issues and anti-war, more conservative on homeland security and affirmative action. I voted for Kerry in 2004 & Obama in 2008, but also DeVos in 2006.
