Embracing My "Too's"

I am too much of a lot of things, but it makes me who I am

Embracing My "Too's"
Erin Thoresen

These are my "too's..."

I am too forgetful.

A very common nickname of mine is Dory -- if the shoe fits, right? I can be halfway through a story and totally forget I was even talking. I walk across the house for something and go back to my room empty handed. I close out my phone because of a distraction and forget to respond to that text message I opened. I forget due dates sometimes and I even forget what day it is. I am too forgetful and that's OK.

I am too forgiving.

You could punch me square in the face for no reason at all and I would still find a way to justify your doing so. I have let people walk all over me who were friends of mine and was okay with it because they didn't mean to hurt me or I was scared to let them go. People think they can get away with doing wrong to me because I'll put up with it. I let people back in my life that don't deserve it. I am too forgiving and that's OK.

I am too loving.

I give my heart out to everyone I come in contact with. I love people which is why I am going into the medical field. I care about every living soul on this planet and do anything I can to help anyone. I let people in my heart that are only out to hurt me. But when I find someone in my life worth loving, they're loved more than anyone will ever feel again. I am too loving and that's OK.

I am too passionate.

I put my heart and soul into everything I do. My work isn't complete until it's perfect. I can't sleep if there's someone who doesn't know how I feel about them. I have no problem pouring out my feelings. I value true friendships over popularity. And I get hurt from this quality, a lot. I am too passionate and that's OK.

I am too honest.

Ask me what my problem is with you and I won't hesitate to tell you. Ask my opinion on a certain topic and I won't hold back any details. I am too honest and that's OK.

I am too adventurous.

I never turn down a trip or adventure. I am the first to do something simply out of craving adrenaline. I never stop moving and never want to be home. I get bored in routines and try to make fun out of everything I do. I am too adventurous and that's OK.

I am too inquisitive.

I am always asking questions and can never learn enough. If something doesn't have a reason, I can't wrap my mind around it. If I am told to do something, I want to know why and how I am of importance. I love fun facts that will never further me in life unless I am on a game show. I love knowledge of the world and how things work. I like being able to find reason and meaning to things. I am too inquisitive and that's OK.

I am too competitive.

I always have to win and if I don't win, I want a rematch. Everything turns into a competition to me because that just makes it more fun! I don't like playing sports that make a fool of me but if I do, I will pick it up real quick. I am too competitive and that's OK.

These are just a few things I am too much of. I have a big, yet careless, heart. I'd give the shirt off my back to a complete stranger and I have been hurt by the same people too many times. I make mistakes a few times before I learn and always ask questions. This is who I am. I am proud of being "too..."

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
