I'm not good with consistency. So blogging on a regular basis or a schedule of when I put stuff out is impossible. I like a little unpredictability in my life. If I blog, I blog. If I can't,... I can't.
But
I want to follow through with this challenge. Blogging everyday. Oh my.
The last time I did a month challenge thingy (via instagram) I couldn't last through 7 days. So I'm not sure how well this will go... I'm willing to try! I'll commit!!
I'm a few days late, so I'm going to make up the lost days right now and get it over with.
Day 1, Monday: The story of your life in ~250 words
"A Very Generic View of my Life"
by: Hayley
I was born in Logan, Utah along with my older brother. We shortly lived in Houston, Texas where my sister was born. My family is currently living in Boise, Idaho where my youngest brother Chase was born. All of my family is red-headed except for my mom and my lil' bro.
I looked up to my older brother a lot, hung out with him a lot, followed him around a lot (as most little sisters do, am I right??). So In elementary school the majority of my friends were boys... from resulting from hanging out with my brother so much. Middle School was some of the most awkward years of my life... I did enjoy 8th grade though. I met my best friend Madi (endearingly called Mad-eye Moody) in an Acting/Drama class in 7th grade. We stuck through it all the way through high school. Well. High school was when things started to click in place. I made so maaaaaaany friends whom I'm still acquainted with. At the same time, I made so many dumb mistakes that are what I considered lessons. You need those to grow, right? So as much as I hated the bad times, they improved me. Better in high school than in college.
Right now I'm attending my second semester at BYU-I in Rexburg, Idaho rooming with my friend Mad-eye. Loving life. Making big, tough decisions! That's what this blog is about! Right now I'm thinking of majoring in Web Design or CIT... but it's still to early to tell. I'm hoping to have it all figured out by the end of this semester.
Day 2, Thursday: Educate us on something you know alot about or are good at. (serious and educational or funny and sarcastic)
Let me teach you a little bit about the art of flirting.
>wink. A lot. It catches their eye. And if they give you a weird look it's working.
>be spontaneous. Screaming and speaking in a different language are my favorites. Anything to catch them off their guard. If you are unique enough, you are worth remembering ;)
>indirect answers. It gives a mysterious vibe about you. A good example:
"Hi, what's your name?"
"I can't say... but wouldn't you like to know" *winkwinkwinkwinkwink*
>If the previous tips aren't working, then maybe you should try for the snarky approach. Doing so will make you seem "hard to get" and we all know the fun of flirting is the chase.
>when you think you have him/her in your grasps, physical contact is advised ;) Anything will do. A little slap on the cheek or hand holding. I usually do this after two minutes of flirting. By that time, if you are following my tips, the subject should be head-over-heals
***the above content should not be taken seriously. I only wrote this because I've been told I can't flirt for the life of me. haha. it's a old joke from last semester***
Day 3, Friday: Things that make me uncomfortable
Level 1 Tolerable:
+ Bad mannerisms. Eh, we are all humans, right?
+ I'm underdressed compared to everyone else around me
+ Catching people in the act of doing something secretive. "Oh I was going to return it after I was done..." "Oh Hayley I wasn't expecting to see you here..." I don't have a problem with this happening. I think it's funny/awkward seeing the other person so guilty.
Level 2 Ummmm... ok:
+ Country music. I grew up in a family that raised me to hate it.. so naturally when I hear a country-sounding song, there's a signal in my brain screaming "Get away. Get out." Just how my brain is programed.. nothing personal. But I live in Idaho. I do have to face the music
+ Called on/asked to read out loud or share my thoughts on the spot
+ When people know me, but I don't remember their name or how I know them...
Level 3 The Ultimate in Awkward (for me):
+Teasing. It's mostly do to the fact that I don't know how to react/respond to it.
+ My brain is on go go go mode but I run into someone who wants to talk to me. And I always have to explain "I'd love to talk! But I have to get going!!" (This usually occurs when I'm running late, or I'm in the homework groove)
+ Asked "wait... how old are you?"so much. I guess that's what happens when you are short and freckled.
