10 Things You May Not Know About Me


1.)    I enjoy reading multiple novels at a time. I will generally switch between books depending on my mood, unless it is an extremely alluring book; in this case I cannot put the book down.
2.)    I hate wearing shoes. You can probably catch me wearing sandals everyday up until it is snowing, then I wear slippers.
3.)    I love making my own iced tea. There is just something about being able to brew any flavour of tea you like and sweeten it to your own liking.
4.)    I can sometimes be a little antisocial. There is nothing wrong with wanting a little time to yourself.
5.)    I am fascinated with dreaming. I think having dreams is one of the coolest things about being human, and I still don’t really understand how the whole process works. My dreams are a large source of my happiness, and I tend to have multiple dreams a night.
6.)    I love going to bed early. I get a very comforting feeling every time I go to bed earlier than usual, like warm feelings from my childhood or something.
7.)    I love watching YouTube videos. Some of my favourites would have to be of people waking up after getting their wisdom teeth removed, hilarious foreign singers, funny sketches or any funny video, and tie dying tutorials.
8.)    I try to read the news every day. I like to know what is going on in the world; however a lot of what I read upsets me.
9.)    I wish newspapers were easier to read. I think they are the most ridiculous things. I love knowing the content of the paper, but they are so darn hard to hold and to like turn pages.
10.) I write in an online diary. Growing up in a large family, hiding and locking my diary as a kid was always a challenge; technology has saved the day! I have never been that dedicated to writing in my journal, but it is nice for things like venting!

The Worst Feeling.....

The worst feeling... is when you are sitting in a lecture...then hear the uproar of furious typing....and realize that you must have zoned out and missed something pretty important. Dang.

I feel as though this happens a lot in life- all aspects. Sometimes it is so easy to just zone out when we live such routine lives. One of the most common regrets you will hear about from other Christians is of lost opportunities. How often do we overlook opportunities God has given us to share our faith? Or ignore situations where we could have had an impact? Pay little attention to people who we are called to love? Sometimes it is because we are taking the easy way out, and other times it is because we have lost out focus.

La Lecture Est Belle

Reading is beautiful. There are so many stories out there just waiting to be read. I think everyone could fall in love with reading if they were to find books that interested them. I know so many people who have only read books that have been assigned to them in classes; this has left them believing that reading is boring or irrelevant in their lives today. I find reading to be a perfect way to relax and exercise your imagination. You are able to create your own images of characters, settings, and scenes- opposed to just watching a screen. My ideal evening would include curling up with a good book and a cup of tea.

Long time no type...

Hey:) So I figured it was about time I blogged!
Life Updates: Oy. I am back at McMaster for the year. I am living in the same tiny beautiful apartment as last year. I am living with my friend, Nessrine. I haven't even started my readings yet have been a very hard working student so far. My main focus has been socializing and decorating my apartment working ahead. I am extremely unenthusiastic elated to be back at school.  I am really happy to be back in Hamilton though minus a few sketchy run-ins.
Haha. Life is pretty good.
