CLASS

HI PROFESSOR!
I'M DOING MY ASSIGNMENT VERY LATE BECAUSE I WAS CONFUSED.
SORRY!

So, because I really enjoy having every detail of my personal life on the internet and knowingly put myself in harms way like a bimbo in a horror film, I have decided to talk about myself.

MYSELF
I am in the great state of delusion currently.
I am 22, yet I still can't understand Facebook.
I like my cats and dog. I also like snakes, monitor lizards, cougars, narwhals, koi, maine coon cats, rats, and hissing cockroaches. Some have names

This is Frankie

 

 

This is Bubba

This is Pedro/Mr Whiskers

I plan on becoming a famous animal photobomber and getting a contract with National Geographic so I can go to the Antarctic and meet a Narwhal

This is Sharkbait

This is Biggie Smalls

 

 

 

 

And now, some hyperlinks BEST DECISION OF MY LIFE

reasons why my cats hate me

WHO I LIKE

Yes, this is a list - I will attempt to explain why I like them

1. Abraham Lincoln - Restraint of pen and tongue, very admirable guy, also very versed and open minded for his time.
2. Stephen Hawking - quantum mechanics. Brief History of Time. I feel like he can troll really well too.
3. "Iron Lady " - Margaret Thatcher - Very powerful, very passionate, very driven, very admirable
4. Robert Downey Jr - funny, interesting
5. Emma Watson - Told a girl to be an engineer even though her dad told her it wasn't for girls. Very quotable, also a yogi
6. Princess Diana of Wales - Princess of the people, plus anyone who gives birth to two of the most handsome in the royal family has to be on this list.
7. Blair Waldorf - Queen B. Makes things happen. Fictional, but has the best style and Vera Wang designed her wedding dress.
8. Job (Bible OT guy) - epitome of faith, he's pretty cool and his interaction with God is HILARIOUS
9. JC - pretty quotable. Everything about his actual existence has been argued over for 2000 years. He seems funny.
10. Buddha - really chill. Very much into Zen. I like zen. I like simplicity. I also like that he ticked a lot of people off
11. Luther - kind of the same - he was excommunicated from the Catholic church because he thought buying your unborn child out of purgatory was not only sacrilegious but greedy.
12. Martin Luther King Jr. - listen to the speech "I have a dream" - but before the "I had a dream" part. Pretty impressive.
13. Les Miserable's 1998 cast with Liam Neeson - does a heck of a lot more justice than Anne Hathaway and Wolverine. Plus it isn't a musical. Plus you can actually hear the musical by both the London and American cast - as it was performed. So much better, still a beautiful work itself.
14. Iggy Azalea - 16 in the middle of Miami. Unapologetic. Friends with TI
15. My dad - He's funny
16. My mom - she's smart
17. Greggory House - House MD has the best comebacks to anti vaccinators. Also ever reminding that genius is not supported generously
18. Maya Angelou - very strong. very smart. very quotable
19. Kris Carr - got her cancer into remission with ONLY dietary and lifestyle changes. Pretty funny too.
20. Ghandi - again, quotable. Love that he pisses people off, WHILE BEING NONVIOLENT.
21. Mother Teresa - breaking records on her way to sainthood. Gotta respect
22. Cinderella - My feelings have changed towards this character. She didn't wish for a prince; she wished for a gown and shoes.

ABOUT

My name is Melissa and I created this blog for the same reason a lot of my peers do - it is for a class.

I could've made my blog about cats! Why would I make a blog about "inspiring"? The answer is simpler than you think - "Those who can't do, teach."
In all seriousness, I end up looking at Pinterest more often than I would like to admit, trying to find habits of CEO's or what Martha Stewart was doing in her 20's or Abe Lincoln's unsent letters. I am currently reading "How to Win Friends and Influence People" and it touches on a lot of points I find interesting and incredibly applicable in every interpersonal situation.
With all that being said, I have found it challenging to find a blog with a diverse range of people, ideas and places that inspire or peak my curiosity, and many less that offer direct and free resources on the content. It is the bane of my existence to click on a link to be directed to another link that tells me I need to pay 1.99$ to access the materials on this website for a day. I have stumbled across far more free resources that have great quality information with ease of use that not a lot of people know about.
I feel that anyone can teach themselves anything if they want to learn. I have personally found it irritating to be led astray in some matters and without the knowledge or resources, I become resentful and disinterested. I do not want anyone else to feel that way regarding education.
There is a beautiful quote that speaks worlds to me
"Never let schooling get in the way of your education."


About me
Now that's out of the way, my name is Melissa. I am currently 22 years old, in college and I am a property manager for my father. I have two cats and one incredibly spoiled canine. I was an avid reader in elementary school - I was reading Little Women, Moby Dick, White Fang etc when I was in 3rd grade. I stopped reading when I discovered AdultSwim - which was a network hosted by Cartoon Network with shows like Family Guy and Futurama. I was a decent writer and like most kids in high school, I could get away with a B+ paper without finishing the book. I was in an ancient history class and I found my love for history my freshman year in high school. I hated mostly everything else. I was admitted to college at University of Houston and found myself surrounded by my peers who wanted to learn. I participated in engaging conversations about current events, economics, religion, history, and the sciences. My mind opened and I was in love with physics. I was never good at math, so I was generally well versed in Biology and a little Chemistry, but physics scared me. I did not know where to start - you can't exactly expect to pass a physics class with terrible math skills. I found a couple online resources and was able to broaden my knowledge (and realizing my lack thereof) by discussing with people over the internet and in my daily life. I left UH when I started having medical problems and was put on treatment for Rheumatoid Arthritis, which is chemotherapy - only in smaller doses. Moved into one of my dad's properties and went back to school, and here I am!
