Day 2: Nine things about yourself.
1) I’m obsessed with summer, literally everything about it! I have a wonderful August birthday, cold weather KILLS me, I love having no school (of course), I love the sun and beach, I love sleeping in, and uh for some reason I LOVE shopping for bathing suits :)
2) I used to hate my name because when I was little I couldn’t say my R’s right :( obviously, Margo is the sole WORST name for that little speech impediment — I probably introduced myself as “Mawgo” for about half of my life… embarrassing. Now that I talk normalllly (I think), I love my name because it’s so unique!
3) I cry, a lot! I don’t know how many people know this about me, but I cry at like eevery movie ever created. CLICK wins it for me — I thought it was gonna be so funny but I sobbbed. Also, if I see someone cry it’s like the absolute saddest thing to me. Sorta like how some people throw up when they see other people throw up, if I see someone else cry I’ll probably cry, too — maybes because I’m really empathetic or something?
4) I’ve always thought that if there’s a distinct type of person who goes and joins the Peace Corps at one point in their lives I’m definitely that type. I love volunteering, I love helping other people, I know that everyone is equal and deserves good in their lives, etc.. going to a different country to help less fortunate people is something I’d absolutely looove to do buuut realistically I probably will never get the chance haha :(
5) I aaalways see the best in people, never the worst — probably to a fault! Sooo I basically like everyone, and I hope people like me back! If someone doesn’t like me or thinks I’m mean I honestly think/hope it’s because they don’t know me well enough… I think I’m nice to everyone!
6) I overthink, overanalyze, overthink until I start to worry about something seemingly good! IDK how to explain — like if I hear good news I’ll somehow twist it into bad news. I guess like if I do well on something instead of being happy I’ll start to think about how maybe it’s a mistake, or maybe I’ll have to try harder next time so I don’t do worse and disappoint, or maybe how I can still mess up things easily so it doesn’t really matter that I did well. I guess that also means I’m pretty pessimistic
7) I think in a lott of ways I actually think like a boy. I also think it’s easier for me to make friends with guys. Don’t think I dislike giirls, it’s just that I’m not ridiculous/high strung like some are about things like relationships and uh looking good (obviously…) and like girly stuff. I think guys are a lot chilller about things, not tryna offend anyone! But it’s alsoooo so so easy to realize that some guys love drama just as much as girls… saddd :P
8) I have the worst self-esteem… ever. I can also be insanely shy but also the totalll opposite. It depends on my mood and surroundings and stuff but I absolutely looove meeting new people… it’s my favorite :)
9) Carnegie Mellon has changed me like crazy in just these first few months; no one will believe me but I did NOT used to be like this (studying 24/7, living at the library). In high school I hardly studied and I procrastinated like everyone (I won’t lie and say I didn’t try hard, but it’s nothing like how I am now)! It’s weird and I feel like a huge nerd for it :( CMU…
