10 Facts About Me

 

Today I thought that I would do a little more of an introduction, so here are 10 things about me (in no particular order):

1. I am from the Chicago area. I don’t specifically live in Chicago, but I do live pretty close by. On a clear day, there’s this hill in my town where if you drive on it, you can see the Sears Tower (yes, I know, it’s called the Willis Tower now. I just prefer to keep calling it the Sears Tower).
2. I love nail polish and painting my nails. I have a blog Dream It Up Nails that I have been blogging on since June with nail art and swatches and what not, but I have decided to start this blog that will be about more than just nail polish. I don’t know, I just feel like it gets a little boring talking about only nail polish and would rather just talk about anything that comes to mind. That way, I will be able to look back on this blog in a few years and really be able to see a clearer snapshot of ‘Me.’
3. I am Christian. I take my faith seriously, and don’t know where I would be today if I didn’t have my faith and my love for God. I have some interesting stories that deal with my faith and how it has grown stronger, which I hope to share with you at some point on this blog.
4. I live with my Mom, Dad, and my little brother and sister. My Mom’s side of the family all live here in the Chicago area (well, minus my Uncle who lives in California) and my Dad’s side of the family are from a small town near Dayton, Ohio.
5. I have been in Orchestra for nine years now. I played the Viola in 4^th grade through first semester freshman year and then switched to playing the Violin from second semester freshman year and continue to play it now (senior year). In addition to playing in my school’s orchestra, I have been in the pit orchestra for my School’s productions of Les Miserables, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, and The Sound of Music. I am also in Honors Orchestra where we competed in the North Shore Jazz Festival and won in our division two years in a row and we will be going down to IMEA All-State in January to perform and give a workshop about Jazz Improvisation to Illinois music educators.
6. I love, love, LOVE to shop! Some of my favorite stores include: Forever 21, A’Gaci, American Eagle, Francesca’s, Charming Charlie, Pac Sun, and Charlotte Russe. Let’s just say money burns a whole in my pocket when it comes to shopping….
7. I applied to 5 colleges in total, all of which are in the Midwest. I got into two of them already and am still waiting to hear back from the other three. I plan to double major in Accounting and Finance (I’ll talk more on why I chose this later, as well as pre-college rants).
8. I am absolutely TERRIFIED of spiders and basically everything that crawls. If they’re outside fine, but if they’re in my room, I’m not-so-fine.
9. I love to read. Some of my favorite authors include: Veronica Roth, Simone Elkeles, Dean Koontz, Nicholas Sparks, Pittacus Lore, Becca Fitzpatrick, Stephanie Meyer, John Green, etc, etc, etc…
10. I used to be a competitive swimmer (more on this to come). I was on the National Team at my club swim team and I was also on the Varsity swim team at my high school.

I hope to elaborate on these facts about me in the upcoming future and so much more!

I should probably get back to reading my book for English that I need to have finished before the test tomorrow…oh why oh why did I have to procrastinate?

So long for now,
