getting to know me

A Not-So-Short Introduction
Shelby Cummins

Hi, I'm Shelby.

In the past few months, I've introduced myself more times than I can count. From scholarship interviews to small groups, I seem to be telling my life story several times a week. Move-in day is a month away (!!!!). So, I decided I would put together a basic rundown of myself, partly so I know what to say and partly so you know more about me, but mostly because it's something to reflect on later.

Hi, I'm Shelby.

I am majoring in biology at OBU with pre-med interests.

I keep a fairly up-to-date planner and journal.

I wish I could write well 100% of the time and accurately express what I feel.

I love Jesus, good music, and great people.

I dance often, but only well when I two-step.

I sing usually off-key, though I'm capable of doing it well.

I think that I talk too much but don't really care.

I really cannot wait for Falls Creek.

I need to drink more water.

I should stay on top of cleaning my room.

I can write a decent five-page paper in a day.

I like to know random facts.

I make lots of mistakes but who doesn't?

I always am willing to laugh.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
