1. If you could change one thing about yourself what would it be?
I would have participated more in high school and college. I let what "authority figures" tell me stand true and missed out on certain experiences that I wanted to do...like join the swim team. If I hadn't listened to a teacher I had at the time, I would have found a way, but at 14, you think they know what they're talking about, but surprise surprise, sometimes they have their own agenda too. I mean, I could have been an Olympic swimmer or something, but the world will never know.
2. Write about a time when you got lost.
Not to brag or anything, but I have a gift. It is with direction. I really don't get lost. I feel very fortunate. I once met the girl I stole my directional sense from to get my extra amazing talent and felt bad for her because she couldn't even follow directions...she'd still get lost. No joke.
One time though, I did get lost in the car when my dad was driving. We were driving around downtown Flint, MI in some pretty shady areas. I kept telling him to get on this other road and he wouldn't listen. Once he did, we were on the right road and out of the scary area. And that was at age 9. Just think of how my skill has developed since then :)
3. Camping or 5 star hotel?
I like variety in life, and this area is no exception. I love to camp, but I also love staying in a fancy hotel where everything is taken care of. I've been dying to go camping lately though. Thankfully, I think we have a trip planned soon!!
4. Have you donated blood?
No. I never weighed enough in high school and most of the way through college to donate. The only reason I would have thought about it back then was to get out of class. I am terrified of needles and pretty much my own blood coming out of my body in that capacity. If I cut myself doing something fun...I don't really give a second thought to the blood, unless it's a lot. I have made it my goal to give blood once in the next year because I am O+ and can help people, so I'm working on getting over my fear...I just have made John promise to come and hold my hand. Plus, he's experienced and gives blood all the time, so he can walk me through it.
5. Do you have a budget or do you 'fly by' most months?
I have a budget to an extent, but I do not stop myself from spending a little extra one month if a lot has gone on or if I find something I really want. I know what my bills are, how much I make and what I would like to save and have a little balance in there. If I overspend one month, I try to make up for it the next month. I have a loose budget...I suppose is the best way to describe it.

You will be pleasantly surprised with how un-scary it actually is to give blood. I never weighed enough all through high school and college, but I donated for the first time last month and it was so not a big deal. Even while I was in the room, freaking out, as I watched other people donating, I thought there is no way I can do this...but I did and I definitely recommend it.
