Hi, My Name Is...

And this is what I want you to know about me.

Hi, My Name Is...
Ana Thompson

Hi, my name is Anastasia Thompson. I like to be called Ana. I am writing this because I have ran into some people who have gotten the wrong first impression of me. I have had multiple people tell me that they thought that I was mean and stuck up upon first glance. This bothers me because I have no control over this, it's my RBF! For those who don't know, RBF is a resting bitch face. I promise I don't mean to look like I hate the world! So for anybody who has seen me and gotten the wrong impression or anybody who would like to talk to me but won't because they think I look mean, please read this.

I am actually a really nice person I promise! My favorite things to do are play hockey, write, and spend time with friends and family. I love the outdoors and sunshine and I am a "stop and smell the roses" type of person. I enjoy trying to appreciate the smaller things in life. I value loyalty, honesty, respect, and hard work. I am not someone who goes out of their way to be mean, I love putting smiles on people's faces. I can't be sitting in one place for too long or else I go stir crazy. I am just as happy spending my weekends with a few friends going on small adventures as I am with going to parties. I am extremely shy and I wish I could change it but I don't know how. I will always try to do all that I can to help someone out, friend or not. I believe that you can never have too many friends, but as long as they are true friends, not fake ones.

Brace yourselves because here comes the more embarrassing stuff about me:

I still listen to kids music regularly. I'm talking about Hannah Montana, the Jonas Brothers, and soundtracks from my favorite Disney movies. I would rather watch a cartoon than anything else. If you asked me if I wanted to have an "Every Disney Movie Ever!" marathon, I would drop whatever I am doing and watch it with you. Sometimes I start singing randomly in public and I don't realize t because I think I'm singing in my head. I also dance randomly in public at times as well, and I am a terrible dancer. I talk to my cat when I have a bad day and I have accepted the fact that I will be a crazy cat lady when I grow up. I'm still afraid of the dark. I also can't watch scary movies on my own because I will get myself too scared and I won't be able to sleep, even with the lights on.

I just wanted to tell everyone who doesn't know me well enough to know this stuff, this is who I am. Although I try to show veeryone this side of me I can't because my shyness oercomes me and I find it hard to speak to people. But I promise that if you take the time to get to know this side of me, my favorite side of me, you will have a lifelong friend.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
