And I hope that you are happy to be you!

I'm So Happy to be Me
Seedsoftheheart.com

I am full of many faults. We are all innately flawed human beings, and for the absolute majority of my life, I let this fact consume me. It is important to grow, and it is important to constantly work on the things about yourself that are not so good. But today I am going to take a break from that, and I am going to focus on why I am so happy to be me, flaws and all. Even though I'm not very good at doing crafty things, I still have really good taste. I hated the way that my hair laid when I cut it to my shoulders a few years ago, but I'm so excited because it is growing back quickly. It isn't quite where I want it to be yet, but it already hangs halfway down my back, and I am so impressed by my hairs ability to do exactly what I hope for it to do. I never have been the best at math and science, but I could write essay after essay and never once get tired of writing. I'm not very good at leaving a good impression on someone right away, but when people are patient with me, I am so lovable! I am not super clever, but I still can make people laugh. I didn't get the job that I really wanted last Spring, but I got an even better one that I will be starting in the Fall which goes to show that things really do end up working out for me, even when I become discouraged. I am goal oriented and driven to the point that it can annoy others, but I am grateful for these traits because it means that I am a hard worker. I am one of those weirdos that loves vegetables just as much as fruit, which (almost) cancels out that I love junk food as well. I always like to try new things, and I am rarely ever stuck in my ways. I'm nearly always caring and observant, and I love to work with people. Even though I dislike that I am extremely shy, I absolutely love being introverted. Even though I am a sinner by default, I love being His daughter, and I know that He loves me right back. I love that I am goofy. I don't always love the gap between two of my teeth, but I love that my smile is big and loose. I love that I ineract easily with cats and dogs, and I love that they almost always enjoy interacting with me too. I love that I like to read and that I like to take pictures too. I have a wide set of interests, and I always see a lot of good in other people. The point is, even though I am flawed and should be working on my flaws, it is really important to recognize that I am a very special and good person too. Sometimes I don't take enough time to give myself credit. When I sit down and think about what I love about myself, it makes it easier to approach the things that I don't like with a level head. I'm so happy that I am me and I am becoming the person that I am, and I really hope that you feel the same way about yourself!

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

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?
