Random Facts About Allison819

-I am a freshman at Georgia Southern University, which is located in Statesboro, GA. Some days I walk outside my dorm and it is hotter than hell (not that I would know how hot hell is, but if I had to guess).

-I am majoring in Interior Design. I have heard nothing good about this major from anyone on campus, which makes me pretty damn nervous. However, my brain just works that way (ie: design).

-I have never been a straight-A student in any science or history class. I have always excelled in art classes. I wish I had gone to a school where all the classes revolved around art. I would have graduated with higher than a 4.0. Instead, I went to a small private school where there are hardly any classes revolving around art.

-Oh well. As my Grandma says, such is life.

There's That Thing Called A Username...

-Allison819 does have some significance. Not that anyone cares, but I'm going to tell you anyway.

-Allison is my first name. My oldest brother named me.

...Why did he choose Allison? I have no idea.

...Why did my parents let their 6 year old son choose a random name for their only daughter? I have no idea.

-But, he did choose a good one. I'm not complaining.

-I was supposed to use certain numbers to signify myself in the Wikipedia world for my English class...but of course I forgot. Now I am the only one in my English class that doesn't have those numbers at the end of their username. Cool.

-The 819 stands for my birthday (August 19th). ...Easy to remember. Close enough.

Yes, I am a girl and I LOVE to be outside.
People close to me call me "Alley" (also thought of by my oldest brother...)
I love to hunt and fish. And I don't really care if you think that is weird.

I like to think of myself as a pretty well-rounded person.
I love to be outside all day (no matter the weather) but I also love to get all dressed up, too.
I also have an unhealthy addiction to shopping. I love shoes and winter coats WAY too much. It's not normal.

Contributions to Wikipedia

So far, the only reason I am even on Wikipedia is for my Freshman English class at Georgia Southern University. I am writing an article about the Cox Capitol Theatre, which is located in my hometown of Macon, Georgia.

However, I have made edits and contributions to the following articles:

Stratford Academy - the school in Macon, Georgia where I attended for 14 years.
Alpha Delta Pi - the sorority I am a member of.
International Cherry Blossom Festival - a yearly festival in my hometown of Macon, GA that I served on the Royalty Court as a Princess for the year 2010.
Wesleyan College - the college my Mother attended and the birthplace of my sorority, Alpha Delta Pi.
Nu-Way Weiners - one of Macon's famous restaurants.

-Laugh.

-Learn.

-"Ohhh, Ahhh."

Now on to Technology...

-My blackberry= ♥

-My laptop= ♥

-My iPad= ♥

-My iPod= ♥

-My GPS= ♥

(For you men...and whoever else is confused...the "♥" is equivalent to "love")

Tell Me How You REALLY Feel...About Wikipedia

-Here's the deal:

-I was forbidden to EVER, EVER, and I mean EVER!!! use Wikipedia as a source for any paper in high school.

-Here's how it worked: (I won't mention any names...)

-Allison: "Ms. What's Your Name, am I allowed to use Wikipedia as one of my sources for my research paper?"

-Ms. What's Your Name: "NO!!! Wikipedia is not a credible source!"

-Here's what they really meant:

-Look, I'm not an idiot. I know all you're going to do is copy and paste the entire article on Wikipedia and paste it on Word and turn it in. I refuse to even waste my valuable time reading that nonsense.

-Here's how I REAAALLYY feel: -Wikipedia is convenient.

For example:

-Say your at Buffalo's on a Thursday night with some friends playing Trivia. They call out a question and no one knows the answer... or anything about the subject. This would be a PRIME time to pull out your Blackberry, type www.wikipedia.org into your internet, and search.

-The result: you look like a badass (excuse my profanity) when your team gets the question right.

-Other than that...Wikipedia isn't going to be my #1 stop when searching for information about a topic.

-Why?

-Because 19 year-old college students like myself can easily create an account and write an article.

-Also, I don't think I will continue to make contributions on Wikipedia. I'd rather be outside than sitting in front of a computer. (Sorry if this offends anyone...but I wasn't ask to lie in my userpage)

-And that's pretty much it. That's how I REALLY feel. I wouldn't lie to ya...I'm a pretty blunt and honest person (if you haven't figured that out already...)

:o)
