assignment 8- megan woodrum

Fears: poisonous snakes, not making an impact before I die, being stuck with a boring job
Annoyances: ignorant people, my brother
Accomplishments: I'm still in the academy, and not just because they can't technically kick people out, and I haven't gotten in a car wreck yet which is pretty good considering how bad I am at driving
Confusions: Social situations, today's youths
Sorrows: problems existing in impoverished countries
Dreams: to be a veterinarian, to get a good scholarship to college, to leave home
Idiosyncrasies: I cant listen to anyone talk a long time without doodling
Risks: Does jumping off really big rocks into not so deep water count? Because i do that often in the summer.
Beloved possessions: I had a blanket I really liked when i was little (then) My friends, my phone, my kindle, etc. (now)
Problems: procrastination, and anxiety (they kind of cause an endless cycle with each other), no attention span at all
Have you ever had the feeling your chest was going to explode? I have. It begins by tightening and you begin to breathe quicker and quicker, and then the pressure just continues to build until all you can manage are short, shallow breaths. Next thing you know you can't sit still and you're pacing the room, which really does not help the breathing situation. This wonderful sensation most often accompanies some extreme anxiety. I'm not saying I'm an extremely anxious person, I'm just someone, that if they don't know how to handle something, who gets a tiny bit stressed. It can be anything really; from not knowing how to do a project for school (so i put it off more so I get more stressed) to being in a new situation with a lot of pressure on me. Some people, and things, tend to have more of an ability for heightening my anxiety levels than other, but those are always the people and situations I am more invested in. Because it's always the things one cares about, that gets them worked up.
