Get to Know Me!

Nice to meet you, I'm Abigail.

In my miniature career with the Odyssey, I have never really introduced myself to anyone that may read my articles. This is what I decided to do today.

Hello, my name is Abigail Dutton. I am a fan of literature and rhetoric- which may be a bit obvious due to the fact that I'm a writer for Odyssey- and I aspire to one day be an English teacher or professor. If that doesn't end up being my future, I will most likely pursue something in the music industry or the arts in general because I really love using my creativity to inspire others.

To look at this as if it were a "fun facts about me" type situation, I'll share things that are new to you, but most likely obvious to anybody that knows me. I love the color yellow- it is my very favorite color even though my wardrobe likes to disagree with me and say I like black or blue better. Also, I drink a lot of coffee. I love lattes to accompany my homework so I don't totally stress all the time. Rain is another one of my favorite things. Ever since I was a little girl, I loved rain and all that came with it. The idea of a rainy day just gives me peace and happiness. I like to spend my time either painting, reading, photographing or playing the piano.

You could say that I am the queen of procrastination. It's terrible how much I can convince myself that something crucial to my life is suddenly irrelevant. I'm working on being better, but for now it is a terrible issue. Besides being a terrible procrastinator student, I am also a college freshman while in my senior year. By the time I graduate, I will be nearly completed with freshman year and will start my college career as a sophomore! While it is really exciting, it makes me a bit of a stress-ball all of the time. Another one of my extracurricular activities is speech and debate. Being good at arguing finally started benefiting me and it actually got me to state debate this year! I also made it to state speech and was a semi-finalist there.

While many may not believe this because I in no way act like one, I am an Aries. Some believe in all of the astrology stuff and others don't, but all I know is that a lot of things that Aries people tend to do are things that I tend to do... So you can connect the dots there. I also am an INTJ for people that like the MBTI personality types better. This is also very accurate to my personality and who I am.

Quite possibly one of the biggest things I consider myself is a Christian and a missionary. I was born and raised in a Christian household with two missionary parents who have taught me exactly the type of person I want to be. The whole concept of living for others and telling them about God is something that gets me excited. I just want to make a positive difference in somebody's life someday.

Long story short, I have a lot of things that make me me. But, I make sense to me and that's all that matters, right? This article isn't very uplifting or humorous, but I hope that it helped you maybe understand my perspective on topics a little better and overall where I come from! Buy me coffee or a new candle and we'll be friends forever!

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
