1. Cereal is my comfort food! I can and will eat it at almost every meal. It makes me think of home and it is always delicious!
2. I love leaves. Everything about them. They fascinate me and can be a great metaphor for life. They always grow and change, but a leaf always appears on the tree, year after year. I am obsessed with the crunch they make as well. Every time one is on the ground, I make a deliberate effort to go and step on it!
3. I love laundry. I think its so relaxing to put in a load of laundry and then fold it when its all warm, clean, and soft. Its the best thing ever!
4. I have mastered the Facebook stalk. I never use to do this but the second I got to school there were all these new people, so it was only normal to go and find out stuff about them...... okay, maybe not.
5. Naps are essential to life. I set an alarm for 15 minutes. I fall asleep with 10 minutes left and that's all I need! I feel better and have energy to continue conquering my day!
6. Being alone is how I relax. Give me knitting, a movie, Netflix, or a book and leave me alone and I am set! I will relax in minutes!
7. I do like people. In fact I love people! I always knew the importance of a best friend. Someone you can rely on always. But I never realized that all the people surrounding you is the key! I have met some amazing people this year that I know without them I would be going crazy! They are amazing and I look forward to spending time with them. I never liked going out with people before because I honestly think I didn't really like all the people that would be there. I never felt like I was comfortable or could truly be me. A big group of amazing people that love you for you is pretty dang cool!
8. Not reading a book for my own leisure drives me nuts! I had to read a lot this semester so by the time I would have a moment to relax I resorted to TV because it was a mindless thing to do. It drove me crazy!!
9. Theater is a huge part of my life. I found myself thinking about being on stage, how a character would act, how I would do a scene if it were on stage, etc. I remember going on stage the first time in months to sing for choir. I felt so at home! I absolutely loved it! I miss acting sooooo much!
10. Art really is everything. My art wall in my room keeps me fascinated for hours. I never realized how much I rely on art. I think about it often and wonder the stories each painting holds. It's very distracting!
11. Service is not in the big things. There are so many people on campus that serve in the smallest of ways. Growing up I always felt like people focused on the biggest most spectacular service projects in the world! I learned that the greatest piece of service is noticing the people around you. A compliment can brighten your day in seconds. Its amazing!
12. The gospel really does bring joy. I look around campus and think, "Wow! We are all so happy! All the time!" You can look around and see the few people that aren't going to church or are making bad decisions. The ones that are going to church, serving, reaching out out to others, going to FHE, and making time to read their scriptures and truly happy. There is such a difference in the ones that do all that and the ones that don't. This semester is the first time that I have truly felt 110% happy! I laugh all the time and find that things that use to bother me don't anymore.
I love Southern Virginia University. The people and experiences I have had are shaping me everyday! It's truly a blessing and I am counting down the days till I get to return to my Virginia home!
