Prompt: A Recent Picture of You and 15 Interesting Facts About Yourself:

A new month, a new list for 30days. This one is a bit more fun than last months. I apologize for the horrid picture, as I took it with my cell phone while standing in the parking lot at the hospital yesterday. But today's topic insists I list 15 interesting facts about myself, so here it goes:

1. I'm ambidextrous. While I don't write with both hands, I do have the ability. My handwriting with my right is simply neater, therefore that's the hand I tend to choose. However, I do most things with my left hand. I can also bat right and left handed, and play tennis left handed. I tend to reach for things with my left hand, too.
2. I'm dual-majoring in Human Development & Family Studies and Social Work. I intend to get my Master's degree in Social Work, and would like to go on to either be a therapist or an adoption social worker.
3. I am a recovering self-injurer. I say recovering because every day is a step to not slip back into that habit. I was hospitalized in 2008 after a battle with depression and self-injury. I also have a tattoo on my left wrist that reads "swim" as a tribute to this battle.
4. I have a lot of friends in my life that I would consider "best friends", but I have three people that I consider my true best friends. They are Ruth, Madison, and Jessica.
5. My favorite band is Something Corporate, which I can thank Ruth for getting me into. While they stopped producing music, they are still a band I cherish. I am seeing them in three days for the second time live.
6. In the last six months, I have travelled more than I could ever imagine. I went to Chicago for the first time, and have countless trips to St. Louis. I've learned that distance doesn't change friendship, and sometimes your closest friends live far away.
7. I am extremely lucky family-wise. At nineteen, I still have one of my great-grandparents and seven of my grandparents. I still have both of my parents, and both sets of step-parents. I realize that this is a huge gift to have, and I don't take it for granted.
8. I have a slight addiction to LUSH Cosmetics. And by slight, I mean that I've probably spent $100 on soap this summer alone. I really love the Karma line, but you could probably talk me into anything in that store.
9. In three weeks I'll be beginning my Sophomore year at Mizzou. I'm taking political science, philosophy, sociology, nutritional sciences, intro to hdfs, and intro to social work this semester. I'm really excited to not be taking French.
10. In the Mac vs. PC game, I'm a Mac. However, not in the pretentious, asshole type way. I got my Macbook Pro when I was looking at a Journalism major. And quite simply, I wouldn't go back to a PC. Maybe I'm spoiled, maybe I'm an asshole, but my Mac works for what I need it to, and I like that.
11. My favorite color(s) are Blue and Red. In my dream house, I will have a kitchen that is mostly black and white with red accents.
12. I really enjoy Harry Potter. My dorm theme this year is Harry Potter, and I can't be more thrilled to participate.
13. At school, I do a lot of stuff. As in, I participate in ways that I didn't think possible in High School. This year alone, I am Co-President of Arts Advocates, a club that I lovelovelove, and I'm a CL (aka Community Leader). I also intend on joining Student Council At McDavid (SCAM) and Purple, the literary arts magazine.
14. I have two pets. I have a cat that I've had since I was four years old. She's gray and white and formally named Chablis (Cha-blee), but we just call her Kitty, or if you're me, Kitten. I also have a guinea pig that I call Lady Gaga (I really need to rename her) that I've had since March.
15. I grew up in Hannibal, Missouri, but I consider my home to be Columbia, Missouri. Which, if you didn't know, is where Mizzou is located. I think this is because I grew so much in personality while I was there, and I feel more physically at home there.

In case you didn't know, it's insanely hard to come up with 15 facts about yourself. I don't feel all that interesting. However, I'd love it if you'd give me a couple facts about yourself in the comments.
