It’s time for another round of random facts about me with a random photo. This one’s a bit longer so I had to screen cap my facts (swipe to see them). Posting because I truly hope it inspires & encourages you.
After writing these, I emailed my Professor. Thinking he wouldn’t remember me but he should still be thanked. He wrote back, correcting my dates, & even included his recommendation letter of me to UVA.
1)I used to have such bad test anxiety that I would almost pass out. Way back when I took the SATs & the top score was still 1600, I would always get over 1500 on my practice test, which were simply old SATs that one would use to prepare. However, when I would get to test day, I would almost pass out because I wanted to go to the University of Virginia since I was about three years old, and I knew that you had to get a minimum of 1400 in order to get into the school. So I would shake so hard my pencil would fall to the ground and then once I picked up my pencil, I would shake so hard my paper would fall to the ground and I would just lose very valuable time. I have no idea if they still time those tests but they were timed when I took them. I think the best I ever got was 1310. (I had to take it multiple times due to overwhelming anxiety). It wasn’t until my first year of College when I attended James Madison University, that a professor of geography pulled me out of class one day and said I don’t understand how you’re not getting a perfect score on every test. You know every single answer in class to the point that I don’t call on you because we need to give somebody else a chance. But when you get to the test, it’s like you think I’m tricking you and you miss answers that I know you answered correctly during lecture. Anyway, long story short, he talk to me about my fear and asked me why I put so much pressure on myself, and I told him it was because UVA said if I got perfect grades, they would let me in as a transfer student. I did end up transferring to the University of Virginia, and I suppose that was fate because I never would have found acting if I hadn’t gone on to UVA, but I will never forget that professor because he changed my entire life.

Hey Valentines! We’re back and full of surprises and LOVE! Our mission this Valentine’s: taking care of girls and women who are currently experiencing difficulties or homelessness. With your help we can make a change! Go to ChristmasIsNotCancelled.com, spread love, and get entered to win a trip to @the_greenbrier!
I haven’t done a 5 things you didn’t know about me post in 3 years! So here’s 5 random facts:
1) I have tons and tons of photos like this I forget to post because I often think social media feels pointless and vapid. But then I remember that the last time I felt this way, I dug deep and reframed social media as a way to find my tribe and my people. I have met, known, and grown to love so many of you, and I promise I’m going to try to stop being such a hermit and post more personal posts. Starting with this.
2) I don’t like journaling. I love the way they look, but I always wonder who you’re writing them for. I mean when people journal, do they realize one day it might be read when they’re dead…and are they writing for that person? Can you ever be truly vulnerable without feeling someone would find it later and judge you? Does anyone else ever have this question or is that just me? Any journals I get I end is using for taking notes or making lists.
3) I make a lot of lists. Right now I have 574 notes in my iPhone. And that’s after I deleted about 75 on my last plane ride 😅🤣
4) in the “marshmallow experiment” conducted on kids, I think I would have lasted a few days vs the 15 mins. I am ridiculously grateful for every thoughtful gift I’ve ever received, but I have a TERRIBLE habit of not opening gifts I get for MONTHS! and it’s not because I’m not excited, it’s because I’m weirdly reward based and I feel I need to earn the right moment to open it 🫠 just ask @thecoppernest who sends THE BEST gifts anyone could ever dream of and so I set them in my office and look at the box each day til I feel I’ve accomplished enough to stop and treat myself 🤷🏼♀️ so hey, if I finally land my dream role in about 15 years, it’ll just fit my personality
5) I have an accidental minor degree in Environmental Science. I love love love LOVE LOVE LOVE plate tectonics and earth science! So I took so many classes at the University of Virginia out of sheer curiosity and wonder that my professor said, aren’t you a drama student? Why are you taking these classes? (y’all sometimes we’d work on ONE mathematical equation for a week!) but I LOVE it!

This was hands down, my favorite service project EVER!!!! We got to replace a leaking thatch roof, make the house taller, and install a metal roof. I don’t have a final photo, but this day was simply incredible. It meant so much to the family. They cried. I cried. And then my inner child, who played in the dirt way too much, got to come out and make mud pies and learn how to make a real mud hut. I finally have a skill for the apocalypse that’s more useful than encouraging others 😆🙌❤️. I hope I get to do this again. Best day ever. Thank you @project_orphans for everything you do every single day! You love SO well!!
PS @brittanyraestokes standing behind me like “this girl🤦🏼♀️” 😆😆❤️
