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'?

Listening & Obeying

When you get a prompting you should follow it.

Without question.

So I did.

I just don't know why.

 

Now I am a little confused.

Change

Am I the only one that is scared of change?

Yet thinking of staying in the same place for the rest of my life scares me just as much. A quote that I learned in Young Womens said: "If your life was the exact same in a year from now would you still be happy? Then why are you so scared of change?" That is kind of something that has stuck with me for the past couple of years. Because I don't want it to be the same. I cringe at the thought of not progressing.

I am in college. Not just in college but I moved away. I am on the own. That was a pretty big change. It freaked me out more than most things. So far it has worked out. I love my roommates. None of use hate each other and there isn't this constant fight. I love my classes... for the most part. I like the learning approach that comes with college. It is frightening but I like it. I like being independent. Personally I never thought I would hear myself say those words. But I like being able to stand on my own. Recently I applied for a job, gone to many social outings, and even going on dates.

To me, that is some pretty big changes. And my stomach still goes 'blump blump' but I know it will be okay. Life isn't meant to be comfortable. 

Anything new?

The vacation has ended.

Reality is setting in.

But really that is it.

Things are pretty boring down here in Orem.

 

That's all.

Storm Warning

I have never gotten a text warning me about the weather.

So that was a first.

But there is a huge storm here.

Lightning. Thunder. Wind. Mini Rivers.

The whole sha-bang. 

FHE

I went to my first FHE yesterday. 

This little girl is growing up.

So what did we do? We went ice blocking!

I have never been ice blocking before so I guess I can now check that off my bucket list. 

Roomies.

This is me, Heidi. 

I love Happy Valley sunsets.

Our Little Game

My roommates and I have this game. It is called "First World Probs." Some of you might have heard of it. This is how it goes. When you complain about something that is completely stupid and only applies because you are blessed then you say "First World Probs."

 

Some of our favorites are:

"There are too many laptops on the coffee table that I can't put my feet up"

"There are too many people we can't all fit on one bed."

"It's 11:30 at night and I am hungry so I have to make a second dinner."

"The DVD player doesn't hook up to our flat screen TV."

"Too many people are on the WIFI that I can't stream my videos without buffer."

"We don't lock our apartment because then when someone knocks we have to get up to unlock it."

"Our living room only has one lamp so it is hard to Snapchat with the bad lighting."

Basically we are hilarious.

We can only fit three on a bed.
