Things I'm good at:

1. Putting things off until last minute. Thoughts such as "Ehh, that can wait until later/tomorrow/next week/never" run through my mind more often than necessary. But I always get things done on time. I feel like this is why I don't make more of an effort to reverse my procrastinating ways. I just work extremely well under pressure. Maybe I won't achieve the same results if given adequate time to complete a paper or assignment.

2. Mismanaging time. My impeccable ability to meet deadlines clashes horribly with my habit of showing up late to everything that's not school- or work-related. This mostly happens with lunch dates or get-togethers with friends. I am ALWAYS the last one to arrive. I just lose track of time really easily.

3. Sleeping in way later than I should. Actually, sleeping in general. What can I say? I just love catchin' those ZZZs. I'm really good at sleeping in random places, sleeping in the midst of lots of activity or noise, and sleeping right through my alarms. Kyle always tells me I'm going to sleep my life away. And, well, I can't legitimately argue that statement.

4. Being too quick to judge others, but only with things that I myself am guilty of. I think I subconsciously get to feeling defensive and guilty when I see people committing acts that I've caught myself doing once or twice before. Example: Texting at work. I'll admit, I do this every once in awhile. But for some reason this doesn't stop me from thinking, "Wow, what a lazy/terrible worker," when I walk in the back at Aero and see a fellow employee hastily shove their cell phone into their pocket.

5. Hiding the fact that I'm crying. Over the phone, anyways- I can't do anything about my red nose and puffy cheeks once the tears start flowing. But I've mastered the art of maintaining a steady voice and keeping the sniffles to a minimum while I sit there and let him talk and talk and talk, throwing out an occasional "uh-huh" or "mm-hmm." He'll never know the differences because you can't see tears fall through the phone.

6. Slapping on a smile and acting like I've got it all together. While I obviously don't always "have it all together," I've become an expert at making people think otherwise. I'm really, really good at sugarcoating my life. Not that I'm constantly angsty and/or falling apart; that's far from true. I can just cover it up really well when things start to seem that way.
