50 Questions

Just an FYI, I have put my 365 day photo on hiatus. I will pick up again on Sept. 1st and hopefully won't run into any troubles with downloads and such. I'm also sorry they probably won't be the most interesting since I won't be doing too much, now that I'm seriously buckled down in the job search.

I have for you 50 questions that I found on somewhere online that I thought were sort of interesting. I have the questions and answers for you. Hopefully they give you a little more insight into who I am.

20

2.Which is worse, failing or never trying?

Never trying

3.If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do?

We are told to act and behave a certain way, we must work to earn money to maybe do something we like, but we may run out of time in the process

This is so tough, but I’d say lose all old ones. I’m only 23 and know I probably have much longer to live. I have so many great memories that I wouldn’t want to lose but at the same time given that I’m so young I can make tons of new ones.

42.Would you be willing to reduce your life expectancy by 10 years to become extremely attractive or famous?

When you feel there is no other option

45.If we learn from our mistakes, why are we always so afraid to make a mistake?

I will remember certain special occasions but beyond that nothing

50.Decisions are being made right now.  The question is:  Are you making them for yourself, or are you letting others make them for you?

For so long I let others make them, always wondering how my choice would effect someone else, now as an almost college grad, I realize how much it’s my life not theirs and I have to make my own choices.

Hope you enjoyed!

Peace&Love
