<p>it doesn’t matter how insignificant or eccentric, general or specific…anything goes. knitting, pokemon, romantic poetry, jiu-jitsu, flirting, drawing, theosophy, industrial architecture, fashion, papier-m</p>
<p>Horeseback riding and community organizing are my talents. And cooking bacon. And that might be all. lol</p>
<p>I’d like to think I’m a pretty good writer.</p>
<p>Chess, speedsolving, first person shooter games, piano, cooking Asian food from scratch</p>
<p>I’ve been told I’m a pretty good writer. I think I’m best at writing arguments and narratives. I also correct grammar like a pro. I can plan a vacation in a second and I pack super well. I can tell you everything you need to know about Disney World. I make a mean meatball. I’d very much enjoy being a personal shopper. I’m awesome at decorating things/places. I can play piano pretty decently. I dance well. I could recite the entire history of the New York Yankees for you. </p>
<p>And I think that’s it.</p>
<p>I’m a pretty good set and costume designer for plays, at least on a high-school level.
I really love doing this but chose not to study theatre or follow a career path in it because of the low pay relative to the hours worked, as well as the difficulty finding a good, steady job.
It’s really saddening, because it’s one of the only things I’ve ever really been good at.</p>
<p>I’ve been told that I’m a pretty good writer, so I’m proud of that. I’m also good at procrastinating, and getting things done as close to the due date/deadline as humanly possible. Also, I could literally enter and win a Harry Potter trivia contest, and I think I play soccer pretty well - not fantastically, but well enough to be fine at my new school this fall.</p>
<p>I’m also able to motivate myself to run every day of this whole freaking summer - sometimes early, sometimes not, but it always gets done - which quite honestly has to be one of my greatest talents and accomplishments ever. Seriously, if you asked me what I was proud of this summer…that would be it. Haha.</p>
<p>“Really good?” Probably nothing. You all set the bar way too low.</p>
<p>Skateboarding, writing I’m pretty decent at, umm I think that’s it. Oh and French!</p>
<p>Procrastination, horseback riding, cooking, cleaning (yes, cleaning is something I am both good at and enjoy. yes, I am a freak of nature), photography, biology, reading, catching animals in the wild, harvest moon…</p>
<p>
Seriously. I can procrastinate with the best of them.</p>
<p>Basketball, lacrosse although it’s not my favorite, ballet</p>
<p>organizing things, drawing, dissecting small creatures, catching Mike & Ike’s in my mouth from up to 6 ft away, cracking eggs perfectly without dribbles, Origami swans, nbd
Whoa now, don’t be sour, I promise you’re special, just like all the other kids</p>
<p>This is a strange one, but I am crazy good at Wheel of Fortune. When I watch with my family, unless I’m having an off day, my mom and brother usually team up against me and make up reasons why my guesses don’t count. Though my mom also has strokes of brilliance. She guessed Washington Monument with NO LETTERS. </p>
<p>I am also really good at interjecting really odd non sequiturs. My friends frequently quote me on a particular one: “I wonder what flaming donuts smell like.”</p>
<p>Finally, I am very talented in the field of assessing brownie done-ness. My parents are pretty accomplished cooks and they both defer to my judgment on this one. </p>
<p>In a more serious sense, apparently my writing is really great. I’ve had one professor keep a photocopy of an essay for herself and select another to present at the school’s research symposium, a politics TA suggest I submit my paper for an undergraduate research contest (which I couldn’t do because I wasn’t a social sciences major), and a philosophy professor tell me that she wanted to send me to a research conference for a paper (which I didn’t do because I was transferring). I was also my high school’s poet laureate. /bragging</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I cannot do this! I can never find the middle ground between having a little tiny dent in the egg and having the white spilling out everywhere. I’m legitimately impressed.</p>
<p>Managing to have someone getting puking drunk at every party I’ve had. Considering my friends, that is not an easy feat.</p>
<p>Racing games, rock climbing, making jokes. I’m also a really fast reader, I read sentences in my head much faster than I would be able to speak them. I consider myself pretty creative as far as writing goes. And I have a really good ear for music.</p>
<p>Drinking. Blacking out. Doing detective work to find out what I did while blacked out.</p>
<p>Procrastinating. Lying on the spot. Making people feel like sh &t.</p>
<p>Oh and bullsh &tting. That is my specialty, whether it is on my English final or with my parents. :D</p>
<p>Reading, drawing, crafting, and arguing.</p>
