14. Describe 5 weaknesses and strengths you have.

Uuuuugh, not excited for this one for some reason... it might be pretty quick!

Weaknesses:
1. Opening up to people
2. COOKING
3. Staying motivated/sticking to specific things
4. Being outgoing
5. Believing in myself

Strengths:
1. (can be) smart, lol
2. I'm pretty good with kids
3. Artsy things
4. Pretty good work ethic
5. Athletic? Sure! Athletic.

So, basically I'm not super domestic. There's plenty of room to improve there. I can mess up boiling water when cooking. Cleaning is a lot of guesswork. Who knows if I really am doing this laundry right but at least it smells good. I don't attempt to get small stains out because I really don't care; I've been wearing the same clothes for years. I don't trust a lot of people or don't plan on them sticking around so I don't take the time to get to know them or to be vulnerable around them. As I've said before, I start millions of things (dieting, working out, improving life in general) and I lose interest and revert to my old ways. I wish I could YOLO like we say and live my life more. I'm too content with staying in over the weekends and watching shows or playing games. I wish I had more of a desire to go out into the world and experience things! I think something that goes along with that is believing in myself. I don't go out and do things because of a lot of the time I'm afraid I'll mess something up or say something stupid. Could I even get a job like that? Would they even accept me in that masters program? Would I absolutely fail the GRE? Will I even be able to have children and if I do will I be a good mom? Yatta yatta yatta.

When I apply myself, like in a class I love, I can be the smartest person there. I loved in high school and college when I could get the highest score in all the classes on a test or ace my classes. When I actually apply myself to something, or really care about it, I can totally kick butt. If only I could do that with everything all the time...

I love kids and I'm pretty good at being a grown-up kid myself. I love helping kids to realize how valuable and special they are. I love being silly and seeing them smile. This all sounds kinda creepy, but it's true.

Blah blah blah... I'm done with this post. I might just skip the rest of the blogging challenge in general because I feel it's a little repetitive and bor-ring. See? There I go again, not finishing something I start.


For a quick update, not much has been happening still besides work and school. Pete and Kenz are both getting ready for Weber in the fall and I'm just wondering what I want to do with myself. I can't decide (STILL) on grad school, planning on being a mom, or whatever else. We shall see............

This Saturday we're going to Bear Lake. I'm excited to spend the day in the water and I hope the weather is just perfect. My sister is turning 18 in August! Wow. Time sure does fly. We're also taking a trip down to Capital Reef with the Legua's and I am SO excited for that. I can't wait to just get away from all the stress and worry from the world and hike and play in the river and spend 24/7 with my boo (whom I never see..).

Lol watching the Friend's episode where Pheobe's fire detector won't shut off. Classic!
