I Nominate You For The #5EmbarassingFacts Challenge

I’ve always been someone who cares what others think. "Will they judge me for this?" "Are other people doing this too?" "Is this acceptable?" These questions pop up in my mind as I go about my daily life. Thankfully, I've recognized my inclination to "conform" and have learned how to fight it. I've learned how to be myself -- my unapologetic self.

You see, there will always be someone who disproves of your actions and choices. Always. That is why I challenge you to stop thinking what others think and just be YOU!

I challenge you to share this article (optional), post #5embarassingfacts about yourself and then challenge a friend to do the same!

Here are my #5embarassingfacts :

1. I went through a weird Nacho Libre phase at age 13. I even owned the mask.

2. This was, of course, following my weird Indiana Jones phase at age 12. I had an Indiana Jones themed party. And yes, I had the hat.

3. I shamelessly know all the lyrics to "Nothing Suits Me Like a Suit" from "How I Met Your Mother."

4. And pretty much any song off of "SpongeBob Squarepants" (A Grill is Not a Home" is to this day the most hauntingly beautiful melody to grace my ears).

5. Some of my days start with weights, yoga and a green protein smoothie; others start with me wiping my makeup off from under my eyes and Chick-Fil-A. Life is perfectly imperfect. But that's what makes it fun. :-)

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
