What Makes Me An Onion

These are the layers people don't normally see in me.

As Shrek gave Donkey the lesson about onions and ogres, "No. Layers. Onions have layers. Ogres have layers. Onions have layers. You get it? We both have layers.", I decided I'd write about what makes me an onion. As much as people dislike onions, I couldn't help but write about them because I love this analogy so much. Everyone has their own unique layers, so here are mine.

1. I'm the biggest nerd.

Whether it be romantic novels, Star Wars movies, or Harry Potter, you can count me in! I never truly show this layer of me because it's one of my guilty pleasures. There's nothing I love more than spending a rainy day, in bed, curled up, watching one of these series, or reading endless books about sappy love stories.

2. I have the biggest heart.

I've always had a big heart when it comes to everyone and anyone. I'm always trying to get involved in as much as I possibly can that will help or benefit others. If I'm not thinking of other's before I'm thinking of myself I feel guilty. There's nothing I love more than being able to make others smile, and laugh. It's genuinely the most incredible feeling. Someone could slap me in the face, and I would simply say thank you.

3. Art is my everything.

Many people take their frustration out in the form of working out, or playing a sport. For me, it's art. Whether I'm painting, drawing or taking pictures, I'm in my happy place. Being able to relax my mind and focus on the paper and the lines is my zen.

4. I love puppies more than I love myself.

This is not an over exaggeration. I would and will do anything for puppies. I mean who wouldn't? They give the best kisses and the best snuggles. Plus they don't give you attitude or make snarky comments. In all honestly I would sell my organs for puppies. I appreciate their fluff more than anything.

5. I'm passionate about everything and anything.

Once I get involved with something whether it be a relationship, a hobby, an activity, or a job, I give my all and hold nothing back. I get attached to them easily, which can be a good and bad quality, depending on how you look at it. Why bother getting involved with anything if you are only going to half ass it?

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?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.
