All About Me

A personal Q&A about myself

All About Me
Emily Haupt

I had a busy week. Between work and homework, I really did not have much time to get out of the house, so I didn’t get any inspiration on what to write about this week. I thought it would be different to answer some questions about myself so you guys can relate to me more and get a sense of who I am and where I come from. I did not make these questions up on my own, so I have to give credit where credit is due.

Who is your hero?

I would have to say my dad is my hero. He never gives up and is always there for his family. He is 51 and is still riding in 150-mile bike races and gets up every other day at five in the morning to play basketball.

What would you change about yourself if you could?

I know people might get frustrated when I say this but I think I would change my weight.

What really makes you angry?

I think what makes me the most angry is when people judge and make fun of others just to make themselves feel better.

What are your religious viewpoints?

I’m a Christian.

What is your favorite game or sport to watch and play?

I love playing basketball. I’ve played since I was six years old, but I like to watch baseball.

Have you ever had a nickname? What is it?

My teammates used to call me the purple monster because at basketball camp in eighth grade I was on the purple team.

Would you rather win the lottery or work at the perfect job? And why?

I know some of you might say “yeah right,” but honestly, I think work at the perfect job because having a job gives you a sense of worth and I wouldn’t want to become privileged and lazy.

What are your hobbies?

I like playing basketball, exercising, hanging an having fun with my friends, chilling with my family, and taking pictures.

List two pet peeves.

When people talk behind someone’s back and then 0.5 seconds later are back to being best friends and when people judge a book by its cover.

How many pillows do you sleep with?

I sleep with three. I have my two regular pillows and my long body pillow.

What's the longest you've gone without sleep (and why)?

I have gone 49 hours without sleep before because I procrastinated and had to stay up to finish a big chemistry lab report.

How often do you buy clothes?

Not as often as a lot of girls. I used to be bad with that but since I started working I wanted to spend my money on concert tickets, sporting events, etc. So I buy new clothes maybe once a month.

Are you a clean or messy person?

I am definitely a clean person I hate when things are messy and dirty.

What's your favorite movie?

Now You See Me or Now You See Me 2

If you could live anywhere, where would it be?

I would like to live in Greece or Australia. I think they are both breathtaking.

What is your biggest fear?

I know this is a little over the top but my biggest fear is drowning. I also hate spiders and not a fan of heights.

What did you want to be when you were small?

I used to want to be a teacher.

What two radio stations do you listen to in the car the most?

Since the radio stations are different everywhere I listen to country (not the twangy kind) and I listen to today’s hits.

Do you love or hate roller coasters?

Since I hate heights I’m not a fan of roller coasters and if I do ride them my eyes are shut the entire time.

What's your favorite fast food chain?

Sheetz because you can also be healthy there even though I usually never pick the healthy options.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
