1.
Rain:
I have always found relaxation in the sound of rain. I highly recommend
listening to the sound of rain while doing work. This website is awesome!
2.
Learning
from other people: I love learning
from people; it’s how I best remember things. Sometimes I wish our lives were
like movies, so that I could see what everyone experiences on a daily basis.
3.
Walking:
One of the most therapeutic things for me to do. This is one of the reasons why
I love cities. There is always a buzz and somewhere to be, and walking is the
best mode of transportation.
July 2015- NYC is a great place for walking!
4.
The Ocean:
Another therapeutic experience. I love how small and alive I feel when I am
near an ocean. It gives me a chance to forget about my day-to-day worries and I
can just take in the waves and the salty ocean air.

Favorite quote!
5.
Dancing/watching
Dancing with the stars: I love to dance, but don’t know how. I like to lead
when I dance, which doesn’t make sense since I do not have a dancing bone in my
body. I basically make a fool out of myself every time I get on a dance floor.
But that’s okay because it’s fun. The great thing about dancing is that anyone
can do it. You might not be good at dancing but give it your best. If you are
on the same dance floor as me, trust me you will never be the worst dancer at
the party. *I should probably take some dance lessons.
One of my favorite dances on the show, very cute!
6.
Sleep: If I do not get enough sleep I turn into an
angry lion. Runaway!
7.
Coffee:
I love it so much that I have written poems about it and compared myself to it.
I’m at the sad point in my life where I get a headache if I do not drink at
least one cup a day (a.k.a the point of no return).
8.
Spending
time alone: I am learning to become a more social person, and am genuinely
enjoying spending time with others. But by nature I am an introvert and still
need some alone time to recharge.
9.
Baseball:
It is the one thing in my life that always makes me feel young. Every game,
whether I’m watching it on TV or listening to it on the radio, I feel like a five-year-old
kid at their first baseball game.

Summer 2015 first time at Yankee Stadium
10. Frank Sinatra: He is one of my
favorites on this list. I love his music and personality.
11. Musical theatre (appreciation for all
theatre and performances, really): I get nervous from simply giving class
presentations. I will never be a performer, but, boy, do I appreciate
performances. I get a rush whenever I watch musical theatre.
"Nowadays" -Chicago (film 2002)
12. The East coast: I haven’t visited much
of the world, or the U.S., for that matter, but I’ve been fortunate to visit some
Northeast states and I loved them! I would actually love to move out there
sometime after college.
13. My family: (Immediate and extended)
although I may have trust issues, I have learned to trust my family members and
have found that they truly have my best interests at heart. *I need to tell
them that I love them more often.
14. Movies: This quote from Martin Scorsese
sums up my admiration for movies: “Movies touch our hearts and awaken our vision, and change the
way we see things. They take us to other places, they open doors and minds.
Movies are the memories of our life time, we need to keep them alive.”
15. Bagels and Donuts: No words. (btw, NYC
Bagels are the best!)
16. T.V. shows: Sex and City, Mad Men, Gilmore Girls, Friends, Cheers
One of my favorite scenes from Mad Men
17. Navy blue: My favorite color and my go-to
neutral. So many times I have to stop myself from wearing navy because of how
often I wear it.
18. Holidays: Easter, Mothers/Fathers day,
4th of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas
Christmas 2015
19. Brunch: I get to sleep in and still
have a filling meal. I don’t have brunch too often, but when I do, it is quite
a treat.
It wasn’t easy to come up with a list of 19 of my favorite
things; it required a lot of brainstorming. I’d love to hear from anyone who
likes some of the things on this list too J
