1. Growing up I was obsessed with bugs and the outdoors. My best friend/neighbor and I would spend hours outside exploring the forest, collecting bugs, and building shelters out of plants and random things we found (we lived at the edge of an island). Shocking my parents were okay with all of this (there were bears in that forest!).
2. My parents wanted me to be well rounded, so when I was in school I was involved in every activity/sport under the sun. I have tried everything from ballet to pottery classes to rugby. Unfortunately my parents also never pushed me to stick with any particular sport, so now I am not particularly good at any of them.
3. I have more jewelry than the Queen of England, and yet I only wear my gold earrings and birthstone ring, both of which were worn by my mum..variety anyone? not for me.
4. I am a morning person, and would rather wake up at 5am every morning than have to go to bed at midnight every night. I feel sick to my stomach when I sleep past 9am… feel as though I am wasting my day in bed.
5. I weigh myself everyday, and count every point that goes into my mouth. Due to a recent ‘deal’ with my bf though I am waiting until mid September to weigh myself… torture really. Also, I read the nutritional information on everything I buy. always.
6. I Love all my friends with such a ferocity that I would kill if someone hurt them.
7. I’m too nice, and was definitely bullied in elementary school, so I learned how to be a bitch and became the bully, now I sit somewhere in the middle and I find it works much better.
8. my favourite place is Ryan’s arms
9. I am a ridiculously productive person, I am addicted to ‘to-do’ lists. I write one everyday and strictly adhere to it.
10. I have a serious thirst for knowledge. In the ideal world I would be a student for life, but I do not have that kind of time nor money. The human body fascinates me, hence me being a nursing student.
11. I cannot sit still, I love being busy, I need to be busy, not because I don’t like myself but because I do not know how many more hours, days, months or years I have left on this earth, so I have to make the most of it here and now.
12. I often bake and then give it all away, partly because I am scared I will eat it all.
13. My entire life my mother has been the one person in the world I can depend on. If I even have an ounce of her spirit as I grow, I will be truly gifted.
14. I have always wanted to be an athlete–to just be really great at one sport.
15. I feel too hard and I care too much, I’ll wear myself into the ground helping other people because I believe that they will do the world some good in the days to come.
