25 Things

January 28, 2009 · No Comments

Have you guys seen this on Facebook?  It’s amazing how may people are doing this.  By each person tagging 25 people in each post, it’s spreading like wildfire!  How cool!  Just shows there’s something about S and M.  (Social media, that is.)

Here’s my “25 Things” post:

Rules: Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you.

At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it’s because I want to know more about you.

(To do this, go to “notes” under tabs on your profile page, paste these instructions in the body of the note, type your 25 random things, tag 25 people (in the right hand corner of the app) then click publish.)

1. First and foremost of the random things: I am a proud MILLENNIAL. I’m sick and tired of all the stuck up research that suggests that people my age are entitled, lazy, praise junkies spoiled by participation awards. Millenials - the flip-flop wearing, Starbucks-drinking, Legends of the Hidden Temple-watching, photo-tagging, wall-writing, tweeting, texting types - are full of potential and optimism. I’m proud to be of a generation full of people unafraid to leave a job if they are unhappy, full of open-minded people who care about what matters most - and that’s each other. <3

2. One day, I will miss being a waitress.

3. Apparently, I have a pattern for dating guys with names starting with “J.” I always love an alliteration.

4. I want to get the word “Ambition” tattooed on my foot. (In Edwardian Script)

5. I think I’m a heck of a lot more fun than I was in high school.

6. I want a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (a tri-color) and I want to name her Carrie. Yes, after that Carrie.

7. I didn’t become a journalist, but I don’t feel like a sell-out. I didn’t get into my dream school, but I don’t feel like a failure.

8. I still have my rejection letter from Newhouse hanging on my wall. I’ll keep it forever.

9. I’ve often wondered how my life would have turned out if I stayed in Ohio.

10. Red velvet cake = the best.

11. I love Twitter! (@JanetAronica)

12. Sometimes I laugh things off instead of dealing with them.

13. I like being a nerd.

14. I really wish I could do a one-armed push up.

15. I brush my teeth like five times a day and feel like something is missing if I’m not wearing perfume.

16. I want to be a bartender.

17. I want to get married in the fall and have the reception under a tent.

18. I went vegetarian in August. It wasn’t as hard as I thought it’d be. I actually love tofu.

19. I will never forgive myself for going to Naz because the Comm program there was a JOKE. I’m bitter!

20. But at the same time, I’m glad I was Co-Editor of The Gleaner and got to meet my love, Heather Butterfield

21. I have a website. janetaronica.com

22. I know I work too hard…

23. …No, I don’t think I’ll ever change.

24. Don’t get lemons in restaurants. Just don’t.

25. If I could meet me when I was 12, I’d tell me I’m beautiful. If I could meet me when I was 16, I’d tell me to take it one day at a time. If I could meet me when I was 18, I’d tell me to to go to Fisher. If I could meet me when I was 20, I’d tell me to be careful who I trust. If I could meet me at this time last year, I’d tell me to just have fun. I met me in the mirror this morning, and I told myself that I may not be perfect but I turned out just fine.

There you have it!  And if you read this, heck why not - add me on Facebook.

Until next time,

Stay warm. Make an “already done” list. YouTube “Power Thirst.”
