Ms. Optimist

In my senior year of high school I was voted "Most Optimistic" and if you knew me my senior year, this was rather hilarious. That last year of high school... well, let's just say that it made college all that more appealing to me. I'm not one to dwell on the past but I am most definitely obsessive (boys be warned). I don't regret my decisions or life choices; I think they have very much made me who I am today and I kind of like me. But, I obsess over the most asinine things like the fact that I didn't tip that server enough money that one time at Johnny Rocket's in LA in 2009 (if that man has fallen on hard times, I blame myself). Getting back on track, for all I know two people voted me for that superlative just to fill in the space and no one actually thought I was that optimistic.  This was high school after all; superficial was pretty much all you got. But for whatever reason, this was something that has definitely resonated with me through college and beyond. I am a fairly optimistic person. Maybe it's my religion, maybe it's just my personality, but I tend to think on the bright side of things and take a half-glass-full stance on most situations. Positivity is key to a long and healthy life after all.*

I'm always the one cheering people up and making them laugh. And I love to do that. I might have done really well in clown college if not for my fear of clowns. I sometimes don't know how to maneuver certain emotional situations because I am awkward but I do my best. And I realize that I have no idea where I was going with this. So I will just say, stay positive and everything will be okay in the end, if it's not okay, it's not the end or some crap like that.**









*Disclaimer: I actually have no idea if this is true.
**I am also a realist and know that if you jump off a cliff and hope everything will be okay you will die. So stay safe and practice safe optimism.
