These are a few of my favorite things...

Last Friday, I had my pictures taken for this blog by the UCA photographer, Mike Kemp. Mike and I got to talking about the interests we developed in college. Afterwards, I began thinking about some of my favorite things I have either discovered or developed a greater appreciation for since I have been in college:

1. Naps. This may seem simple but if you ask any college student, naps reign supreme. I don't know if I like them to compensate for the fact I cannot make it to bed early no matter how hard I try. Or, perhaps, it's the fact that they are just so darn relaxing. Either way, I have loved naps since my freshman year.
2. The Food Network. I never even knew this TV channel existed before I came to UCA. My sophomore year roommate introduced me to it. I have been an admitted addict ever since.
3. Lists. As you can see from this post, I really like lists. It's a habit I have picked up in college. I have found that making a to-do list with "take a nap" and "watch Good Eats" can still make you feel productive.
4. My quirks. I am kind of weird. I cannot snap my fingers. I talk way too much. I get excited about accounting. These quirks used to be a great source of anxiety for me in high school. But, in college, I learned that no one really cares how weird I am...They just care that I am myself. Since then, I have learned to fully embrace my oddities!
