February Fun Facts

Sometimes I need some post inspiration...and for that I turn to Google.  I literally type in the search bar "Blog Ideas for February" and several lists and hits pop up before my eyes.  One post that I clicked on listed the idea "10 Fun Facts About Yourself."  As I was writing down my 10 fun facts, I realized that by 5 I had more than enough.  So here are 5 random, fun and a little embarrassing fun facts about me :)

1.  I'm an Avid Car Singer.  I love to belt out my favorite songs with the music blasting when I'm driving.  I think it's a way to prepare myself for the future karaoke session I'll have one day at a bar or club.

2.  I'm a Control Freak.  This may not fall under fun but it is a fact.  This is the reason why I get anxiety when taking off or landing on an airplane.  And its also the reason why I find it hard to sleep in the car when someone else is driving.  It's the feeling of not having full control over the situation.  It's one of my biggest weaknesses.

3.  I Believed in Santa Claus Until I was 13...maybe even 14.  I do have some justification to this, the first being the fact that I have 2 younger sisters, one who is 6 years younger than me so the dream was still very much alive.  And second, my BFF in middle school and I made a pact that we'd both ask for the brand new iPod Minis (you know when they first came out in colors like pink, green and silver) for Christmas.  Both of our parents had already shot down the idea telling us that they were too expensive.  So we figured that if we asked Santa and got them he must be real.  Well on Christmas Day that year we both got our iPod Minis; thus, Santa Claus is real.  So again the magic still lived on for about another year or so and I did eventually figure out that it was my parents all along.

Here's 13 year old me obviously very excited to receive something from good ol' Saint Nick

4.  I Love Purple.  This may already be a well known fun fact, but it still makes the list.  If you saw my teenage bedroom, college dorm room or any of my basic possessions (work bag, iPhone case, headphones, water bottle, etc.) you could make the assumption that I like purple.  Let's not forget that it is the color of royalty and amethyst is my birthstone so  guess you could say it's in my blood.

5.  I Majored in Pre Med.  Only for a short time in college but I did seriously consider it.  I debated a career path similar to the one I am on now and one that ended with me becoming a pediatrician or some physician that worked with children.  I shadowed my pediatrician, took classes, learned what I could about the profession; but, at the end of they day my head was in it...but my heart wasn't.  So I switched my major back to Communications and here I am today.
