My Life, My Favorites
My Life, My Favorites I have a few different interests that entertain me while I live this crazy life of mine. I’d like to think I spend most of my time wisely, but I’ve been known to get carried away with stress-free activities such as shopping, socializing and watching my kids’ sporting events. Okay, maybe the sporting events bring a little stress upon me, but it all goes away after the game is over. Shopping is my top favorite interest. I asked a girlfriend to give me her opinion on what she thought my greatest interest was and she said it’s definitely shopping. Her tone made it sound like I shouldn’t even ask such a silly question! Well, I had no idea it was so noticeable to others, but since I am known to give her my hand-me-downs every time I indulge, it’s probably more prevalent to her than to anyone else who knows me well. I spend many lunch breaks and Saturday afternoons on the hunt for a cash-savings, clearance rack purchase. I will dig at any Ross, TJ Maxx or Marshall’s for the best, brand name deals. Of course, I’m not just thinking of myself when I actively take over the shoe or clothing department. I keep my kids, friends and friend’s kids in mind if the size and price are right! My daughter, son and career are always my first priority, but this full-time working mom likes to let loose every now and then. An occasional happy hour, social drinking only, sometimes will strike my interest after a long day at the office. Working for a baseball club, we see our highs and lows. Either mood can instigate such an event. So, if I’m not answering the cell phone after normal business hours, it’s probably best for all parties involved. I am most likely partaking in a social activity that is for the betterment of my sanity. Any disruption could cause an eruption! I have come to the realization that I enjoy sports more than I thought. In my childhood years, I despised the idea of watching any games because my father ruled the only

    I am a very detailed, neat and organized individual. I believe in planned shopping. I never go shopping without a list. This helps me budget, and remember what items to get. Additionally, I like both consignment and high-end stores, so I never seclude myself to a select number of stores or brand. Therefore, I don’t particularly advocate brands, because I find favor in all brands! From Samsung, to Nike, to Wal-Mart’s Great Value, I like and own a piece of everything. I can shop almost anywhere and find something…

    My dad has been a baseball fan for as long as I can remember. When 1:20 rolls around on Sunday afternoons, the television is declared my dad's for the mandatory Cubs game. Granted we weren’t obligated to watch the game, however, my older brother and I occasionally stuck around to watch. Overtime, this television snatching turned into an annoyance, most games are over three hours long, which greatly cut into my precious TV time on the weekends. I grew to hate the game because I found it long, boring, and filled with little action. Also, the only games my family watched were Cubs games and the Cubs have sucked since 1908. But like every good relationship it takes time for a bond to…

    2. Plan a schedule that has important work, fun activities, and rest. I get so busy with what I think needs to be done that I forget to include fun things in my schedule.

    I have never really been interested in basketball or most sports for that matter, until a few years ago. My husband would watch all of the college and professional basketball games on television. He would become especially excited during March madness and the NBA playoffs and the Finals. He used to play basketball until a knee injury ended that. For some reason he still found excitement watching the games.…

    The stress I experience in school and extracurricular activities are one in the same. As a self-disciplined and driven student, I require myself to turn all of my schoolwork in on time. At times, that cannot only be stressful, but also difficult. Some days, (BE #4) I feel more stress than others. There are times when a lot of my tests happen to take place on the same day.

    Soundtracks of My Life

    As far back as I can remember, music has always had a big impact on me. I cannot imagine my life without music even for one day. If so, life must absolutely be dull and tasteless. One thing that I have found funny about my life is that whenever I am emotionally facing something, there is always a song that corresponds with my life at that moment. I sometimes wonder if the song writer could be someone close to me who knows what is going on with my life at that time and then he or she writes a song based upon my life story. Since I have been quite busy adjusting myself to new environment at University of Southern Indiana, I did not have time to properly listen to those songs until when I was assigned to write this paper for my English 101 class. Like other people, I have those tracks in my phone and I also give them a star, making them my favorite tracks on the playlist, so that I do not need to waste my time looking for them when needed. As I was listening to each song, I was taken back to certain moments of life. The songs range from those which represent happy times to sad moments and also when I bounced back hard and became a stronger person.…
