About Me ♡

So here we go, an official 'About Me' post. I usually don't like doing one of these but I have a feeling we're going to be good friends, especially if I update my blog regularly. Let's hope that I do. I'm not really sure where to begin, but I'll just jump right into it.

♡ A bit of history: My parents immigrated from Vietnam to America during the Vietnam War. My dad and his younger brother travel by a boat with other refugees. On the boat, my dad met my mom. I guess you can say the rest is history, but it takes a lot of courage to leave everything you know behind and put all your faith in doing well in America. I am the youngest of four children. My two older sisters have their own families and kids and my brother is doing amazing things with his contribution with The Mission Continues, you'll see his amazing-ness in the future. I'm not super close to my family, but I feel like I have a great relationship with my parents and siblings. This picture was during my uncle's wedding. The picture on the left is an old picture of my parents. (The picture on the right) My two sisters are on the left and my brother is in the blue with my parents on either side of him. And of course that's me in the red :)

     

Let's get down to the facts of me! I don't like doing lists. I feel like they're really impersonal, but I don't have another way of doing an about me without doing a whole life story (and that'll just end up really long). So here's a list of things about me for the time being, I'll update it eventually and I'll also have longer posts about some of the things that I want to share, or leave a comment if you want to know something specifically!

1. My favorite color is actually purple! For some reason I am attracted to pinks if you can't tell from the design of my blog. There are some other reasons to why it looks that way, but the main one is that I don't like pastel purples and pastel pinks look better. It's easier to match pastel pink than it is pastel purples. I also love classic colors like white, black, and neutrals.
2. I am 22 years old! I'm often mistaken for younger, but I take it as a compliment. I would rather look younger than older, because who wants to be old? ;P
3. I'm in college and I'm expected to graduate in Fall 2015 with a Bachelor's in English Literature. I'm planning to continue my education and get an MFA in interior design, but we will see how life works out.
4. I am in love with Chipotle. I have classes late on Tuesdays and I'm usually too tired to cook something to eat when I get home so my fiancé and I go to Chipotle for dinner instead. We call it Chipotle Tuesday. I remember a time when I absolutely despised Chipotle, but that's behind me now and I have nothing but love for it.
5. I have a pretty keen eye for details and a great appreciation for anything hand crafted.
6. I'm a super self-reliant type of person, so if there is anything that is produced that I'm not satisfied with, I will try to make it myself. 
7. I'm extremely introverted. I am only really close to a few people, and those few I can count on one hand. I have friends, but not on a regular socializing basis. I have people I talk to in class and stuff, but not life-long friends. I'm just very limited and cautious about the people I let into my life. Nothing horrible happened in my life that lead to this, it just happened. 
8. I love to laugh! Laughing is the best medicine, for anything really. I love when I can enjoy a good time with company that makes me laugh. 
9. I am a Netflix junkie, but who isn't nowadays? My favorite shows that I've watched form beginning to end at least 5 times are How I Met Your Mother and Bob's Burgers. King of the Hill used to be on Netflix, but sadly it's not on there anymore, but I still love that show.
10. In addition to Netflix, I'm a YouTube junkie, but again, who isn't? I watch a lot of gaming vids/Let's Plays, drawing/sketching videos, and on the occasion makeup guru vlogs. I watch because of the content, but also as inspiration for creating my own content some day.
11. I'm an Apple fangirl turned into a Samsung fangirl. I still own Apple products, but I'm slowly migrating back to a Windows computer and Android OS. I like Apple and it's simplistic design, but I can't play any games on my Mac! But everything is personal preference so I prefer some Apple things over Android/Samsung and vice versa.

I can't think of much else to say, but again, I'll do an updated one of these or a specific post about any of the things I provided. Let me know in the comments if you want to know anything else, I'll be happy to share :)
