Hi, My Name Is...

And this is what I want you to know about me.

Hi, My Name Is...
Ana Thompson

Hi, my name is Anastasia Thompson. I like to be called Ana. I am writing this because I have ran into some people who have gotten the wrong first impression of me. I have had multiple people tell me that they thought that I was mean and stuck up upon first glance. This bothers me because I have no control over this, it's my RBF! For those who don't know, RBF is a resting bitch face. I promise I don't mean to look like I hate the world! So for anybody who has seen me and gotten the wrong impression or anybody who would like to talk to me but won't because they think I look mean, please read this.

I am actually a really nice person I promise! My favorite things to do are play hockey, write, and spend time with friends and family. I love the outdoors and sunshine and I am a "stop and smell the roses" type of person. I enjoy trying to appreciate the smaller things in life. I value loyalty, honesty, respect, and hard work. I am not someone who goes out of their way to be mean, I love putting smiles on people's faces. I can't be sitting in one place for too long or else I go stir crazy. I am just as happy spending my weekends with a few friends going on small adventures as I am with going to parties. I am extremely shy and I wish I could change it but I don't know how. I will always try to do all that I can to help someone out, friend or not. I believe that you can never have too many friends, but as long as they are true friends, not fake ones.

Brace yourselves because here comes the more embarrassing stuff about me:

I still listen to kids music regularly. I'm talking about Hannah Montana, the Jonas Brothers, and soundtracks from my favorite Disney movies. I would rather watch a cartoon than anything else. If you asked me if I wanted to have an "Every Disney Movie Ever!" marathon, I would drop whatever I am doing and watch it with you. Sometimes I start singing randomly in public and I don't realize t because I think I'm singing in my head. I also dance randomly in public at times as well, and I am a terrible dancer. I talk to my cat when I have a bad day and I have accepted the fact that I will be a crazy cat lady when I grow up. I'm still afraid of the dark. I also can't watch scary movies on my own because I will get myself too scared and I won't be able to sleep, even with the lights on.

I just wanted to tell everyone who doesn't know me well enough to know this stuff, this is who I am. Although I try to show veeryone this side of me I can't because my shyness oercomes me and I find it hard to speak to people. But I promise that if you take the time to get to know this side of me, my favorite side of me, you will have a lifelong friend.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
