9 Things To Know About Me
Muriel Nave

Since this is my first publication, I thought I would let my readers get to know a little bit about me!

1. I was born and raised in Savannah, GA.

I have lived in the beautiful southern city of Savannah my entire life. My parents own some waterfront property, and we spend hot summer days swimming in the river.

2. I love sports.

I grew up playing soccer, basketball, tennis, volleyball, swim team, softball and cheerleading. In high school, I dropped everything except volleyball and played for my school in the fall and a club team in the spring and summer. Now I go to school sport events and watch college and professional sports on TV all the time.

3. My favorite color is purple!

I’ve loved purple for most of my life. My old room was pink because it was my little sister’s favorite color, but when we did some home renovations, I got a new room and got to pick the color. I picked a light lavender purple.

4. I have a giant family.

I have one older sister, one younger sister and two younger brothers who are twins. My dad has one sister with three kids, but he has multiple cousins who all have kids, and some of those kids already have kids. My mom has two sisters and four brothers. Most of them have kids and some of those kids have kids. My extended family on my mother’s side is around one hundred people, give or take a dozen or so. Family reunions are crazy and never seem to end.

5. I’m an exercise science major.

I want to become a pediatric physical therapist and help children with disabilities gain confidence while helping them gain strength. I’ve always loved working with children, and this seems like the perfect career path for me… as long as I can pass chemistry…

6. I’m a freshman at Kennesaw State University.

I left Savannah to come to college at Kennesaw State University and get a fresh start. I knew very few people here and decided this would be the perfect place for me to explore myself and step outside of my comfort zone. I had no idea during move in that I would love my roommate enough to move in with her again the next year or that those girls who were rushing with me that I didn’t even know how to talk to would be my sisters and friends. I had no idea that living away from home would make me so homesick but so happy to be on my own at the same time.

7. I’m in Gamma Phi Beta.

I rushed during my first semester and joined Gamma Phi Beta and could not have been happier with my decision. I know that Greek life isn’t for everyone, but I would be so lost without my amazing sisters and my perfect Big. My sisters and Big have been there for me through all my crazy decisions, and supported me in every new adventure I’ve been on.

8. I have the greatest dog on the planet!

I know everyone thinks they have the best dog in the world, but there’s no way for you to convince me that yours is better than mine. She is sassy and demanding, but she is loyal and protective. She is brave and won’t back down from a fight when she thinks her family is being threatened. Every time I go home, she’s always the first family member to greet me, and when I pack and get ready to leave again, she pouts and lays by my suitcase in the entry way and ignores me when I try to give her attention so I know she’s upset with me for leaving again.

9. I’m a nerd at heart.

I love science puns. My friends from Savannah and I still play Pokemon Go, and a fun night is going head to head with my friends in Super Smash Bros. I didn’t read "The Lord of the Rings" or play Zelda growing up, but I can still catch a lot of nerdy references.

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.
