I think a LiveJournal audience could appreciate this more than a Facebook audience could:

1. I trust one person in my life, and I consider myself lucky because of it.
2. I'm all or nothing. The middle ground’s not for me.
3. I don't think I've ever done anything for a selfless reason. I’ve done things for some sort of reward. I don't feel guilty about it.
4. I'm ( Read more... )

It's been a while. Sorry, I've been busy:

• New job
• New hobby
• New objectives

In my experience, satisfaction isn't commonplace. Eating a delicious meal and having a productive conversation definitely confer satisfaction, but it's fleeting. After that meal has been digested and after that conversation has been forgotten, so too does that satisfaction once ( Read more... )

The following are a few realizations that I've made this past weekend. I post these with two intentions in mind. First, to keep record of my lessons learned. Second, to caution you not to make the mistakes that I've made.

1. Know your worth. If you sense that you're being deprived of something, chances are that you're correct. The solution to this is ( Read more... )

Sur vendredi, j'ai un examen de la conversation en français. Alors, j'ai décidé d'utiliser LiveJournal comme un façon d'étudier. Entre ce soir et le soir de jeudi, je ferai une note en français chaque soir. Ces notes seront sur les sujets dont j'ai parlé d'habitude, excepté qu'elles seront dans la langue de français. Les mots de couleur sont les ( Read more... )

So I can reassure you that my distaste for multiple choice exams is not rooted in an inability to perform well on them. Rather, it's rooted in my belief that intellectual evaluations, especially those ( Read more... )

"I love saying what I think because it keeps me accountable. Once I say it, I feel like I have to do it and I love proving to everyone that I can! ... If I kept it to myself, at any point, I could easily give up on my goal because no one would have known what I was trying to do. People who say what they think and then do what they say normally get ( Read more... )

10. PowerPoint
There are two things that I love unconditionally; first, public speaking and second, being creative. A PowerPoint presentation is the ideal amalgamation of the two. Logically, I love PowerPoint unconditionally. Honestly, it never lets me down. There are so many options and believe me, each and every time I make a PowerPoint ( Read more... )

I'll be the first to confess that I'm a superficial motherfucker. I do judge books by their covers. Obv, by "books" I mean people, and by "covers" I mean their clothes. But I do not believe that a person is only as cool as his/her outfit. It would be silly for me live by that philosophy and it would be silly for you to make that assumption about me ( Read more... )

Obsession: I'm obsessed with what many call "old man" shoes. If that is their real name, then an old man I will be. They look so fly with a smartly selected pair of skinny jeans.
Compulsion: I've been compelled to buy 3 pairs of "old man" shoes in 3 weeks. I want a shoe closet in place of the study desk in my room. Oh how my priorities have changed ( Read more... )
