Who Am I?

I had to write an essay on who am I. That was all we were told.

750 words all about me.

It doesn't seem that hard until you actually sit down to do it and don't even know where to begin. On the bright side I was able to write it. And I kind of like it. It is a nice way to get to know me.

So here it is.

Enjoy!

At the beginning of the day I am a normal girl. I wake up, come to school, and go home. But everything in between is what makes me different from every other person you see.

 I don’t have a major. You could easily say I am a lost puppy just roaming these halls and hoping that something will catch my eye. And nothing has yet.  I have been thinking maybe Photography, Psychology, or maybe even Journalism. That last one was kind of out of the blue. I have never really liked writing until of late. I have a blog, or 4, and I love to update them. And not just with pictures or music. I love to write on them. Of course it isn’t anything intellectual but rather my thoughts and my views on some topics. I don’t have many readers but just knowing that my thoughts are being heard is kind of cool. Writing is what I do in my free time between classes. It is kind of my “me time.”

I am a freak on many levels. There is no other way to describe me.

I am a music freak. Freak doesn’t even begin to describe my obsession with music. I have gone through one MP3 player and 3 iPods. That may not seem like a big deal until I tell why I have had so many devices. It isn’t because I used them to their death but rather I ran out of space. I started with 1 GB of memory and worked my way up to 4, 8, and now 160. That is 40,000 songs. And you may not believe me that I need that much space. But I do. It already had 3,000 songs and the number is so small because my wallet objects every time I find a new song.  And so for the past year I have been living off of the music program called Spotify. It is Pandora, iTunes, and Youtube put together. Also known as a music lover’s dream. And it is free as long as you at a computer.  So in this ever slow process I am putting more and more music on my iPod.

I also sing. That goes in the ‘Music Freak’ category. I have been in choir since 7^th grade. I can sing high I can sing low. I am pretty flexible. All through Junior High and High School I was a Soprano. But this year I am in UVU’s Women’s Choir and the director put me as an Alto. I am kind of bummed but it is fun because I have never sang Alto and now I have been given this chance to explore my voice in a way I haven’t been able to.

I am the roommate that cleans. I clean a ton. Also known as the 'Clean/Neat Freak.' Apparently it is a way for me to relieve stress, procrastinate, and feel in control. I didn’t know I was this way till a few weeks ago when I moved out.  My room, or my side of the room, is the cleanest and more organized in the whole apartment. I can’t help it. I clean. That can’t be too bad, right?

I have a baby. Not a screaming, eating, pooping kind of baby. I have a Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) Camera. Nikon D3100 to be exact. And I love it. I love to hear the shutter click when I take a picture. I don’t take pictures of people. Okay, that is a lie. I just don’t like it as much as nature photography. I love to show people the world how I see it. A picture is a way for people to see things in another point of view. Photoshop is another happy place for me. I play my music and edit my pictures and time escapes me.  So thus it makes me a 'Photo Freak.'

I love romance. Whether it is romance novels, movies, or real life. I love it all.  Let's face it. I am a 'Romance Freak.' I read so many romance for someone with no time. I watch so many chick flicks that it is pathetic. But they are better than real life because the boy and girl actually end up together and it is a happy ever after.

Things I don’t like include: having to set my alarm clock, obeying stupid orders, and attention seeking people. All these things tend to bring my spirits way down.  But how do I cope with these struggles is the real question. Well, swings and chocolate really help. I also color in my coloring books to help me calm down in stressful situations. So we can sum it up that I am still a little kid in an adult body. But see, that goes along with one of my favorite quotes by Walt Disney. "Adults are merely children in grown up bodies." Did I mention I am a 'Disney Freak'?
