Things That Keep Me Goin'

You guessed right, my cats are one

There are certain places, people, animals and other nouns that keep a person going every day. Sometimes it's knowing that you work for the weekend, and you're okay with that. Some people work for their kids and loved ones. Other people work for the five cats that they love unconditionally and are seemingly named after their favorite book characters. Other people just love to be busy and make themselves so. Well, I have a few reasons that I get going every day, and there are a few things that make my life easier to manage.

1. Completing my capstone course

I am taking my English capstone course, which is a fancy way of saying I'm doing my thesis and senior portfolio. Once I finish this up, the rest of my college degree will be a cakewalk. It will be the end of my undergraduate career and opening up a whole new world for me to enter, become instantly overwhelmed and then seek guidance in.

2. My cats

While my cats are not named after my favorite book characters, I do what I do for them in a way too. If I stopped doing my daily activities, they would probably die. Brutal but simple. Cats need love and affection just as much as the next person, sometimes more so, and I am definitely willing to give it to them. They don't talk as much as people.

3. Asana

Asana what? Asana who? Very recently, I was introduced to a project managing website/app combo that helps you organize tasks. You can create a project and put tasks inside, and even collaborate with other people on the same project and assign things individually. It sends emails and notifications on your phone to remind you when you have a due date sneaking up that you forgot about.

4. My loved ones

I better put this one on here I suppose. I do love em' all.

5. I like going about my day

While more often than not I would rather be doing something else other than my current activity, I like my days. They are interesting and lively. There is something new to experiecne every day you walk outside your door.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
