I'm kind of marveling at how my answers to a lot of my "questions" have already changed in just a couple of months. So, I figure I better hurry up and answer the rest over the next few days, so that I will really have a snapshot of who I was around the time I turned 23.

12. What do you appreciate most about your current situation?
        - I guess, more than anything, I appreciate all of the people in my life. My situation isn't necessarily ideal, and there are a lot of improvements that I need to make, but I have an amazing family and the best friends that I can ever imagine having, which makes any situation okay.

13. In one sentence, who are you?
      - I am an emerging adult, trying to find her place in this world.

14. What are ten things in your life right now that make you smile?
       - Colt, Jim, loud music in my car, good conversations with friends, friendly people, funny things I find on the internet, the endorphins I get from exercising, veganism, my mom, the future (sometimes).

15. What general qualities do you typically notice about people when you first meet them?
       - I guess I notice how easy someone is to talk to. As soon as I meet someone, I try to determine if I think they would make a good friend, which typically requires friendliness and a good sense of humor.

16. What is your purpose?
       - I wish I knew.... I think to help people. But, I don't know who and I don't know how.

17. Who brings out the best in you? Who brings out the worst in you?
       - I would say Wendy, Megan, Gina, Amanda, and my mom, bring out the best in me. I'm not sure who brings out the worst in me. Or maybe I do know, but I can't answer.

18. When do you feel most attractive?
       - Usually right before bed, when I'm about to wash all of my makeup off and put on my pajamas.

19. What is one fear that you know is holding you back?
        - I'm really afraid of failing. I'm really afraid of making a bad decision, so sometimes I just shut down and don't make any decisions at all.

20. What is something that you have always wanted to try?
       - Hmmmm I'm not sure. I'll have to think about this one.


On that note, I'm gong to bed.
