About Me...

Hello, my name is Laura Haas.  I am a 17 year old high school student currently enrolled in Cascade High School. I am a quiet and shy person, but once I get to know people, I am much more talkative. I am an honor roll student, I usually get A's and B's in my classes, but I have to work hard and study in order to get grades like that.  When I graduate, I plan on going to NICC to study healthcare.  I work hard in school because I believe everyone should try their hardest in everything they do, I do not go for "good enough," I try to do everything to the best of my ability.  I believe that it is better to be able to say that you tried your hardest and failed, rather than not trying at all.  I believe that if you work hard and try your best, you will be very successful in anything that you choose to do. 

Besides my philosophical beliefs, I also have various interests and hobbies just like everyone else.  I love to play video games, and listen to music.  I love to play video games, because they relax me when I am really stressed out.  My favorite type of video game to play is role playing game.  My favorite RPG series is the Elder Scrolls series.  I love being able to do anything you want in a video game, and the Elder Scrolls series certainly delivers.  Beside video games, I love to listen to music, I especially like the calming effect music has on me.  I especially like rap music.  I do not know exactly why I love rap music, I have just always liked it.  I love to listen to a song, and then have to sit and think about the message the rapper was trying to get across.  My favorite rappers are Eminem, Tupac, Nas, Masta Ace, and there are many more, but I am not going to list them all, because if I did, I would be here all day.  I am also a fan of drawing and art.  I love drawing mythical creatures, and shading them in to made the picture look realistic.  I am not a big fan of actually coloring the pictures in though, I leave my pictures in black and white.  Drawing is something that helps me get my mind off of things.  This is especially helpful when I need a distraction from my sometimes stressful life. 

I feel that this post would not be complete unless I talked about my personality as well as my interests and hobbies.  I am a rather shy and quiet person.  I do not like talking to strangers, and sometimes feel uncomfortable around them, but do not interpret that the wrong way and thing I am someone who hates strangers, that is not it at all, I am just a shy person.  I may not talk to you much if I do not know you, but once I get to know you I become quite talkative.  I am polite to everybody though, and my friends will be the first to tell you that I am a caring and generous person at heart, and I will help anybody that needs help.  I am the type of person that will help anybody I can, and even go out of my way to make sure that person has everything they need.  I may be quiet, but I am actually one of the nicest people you will ever meet.  With all that said, this will conclude my post for the time being. 

My Hobbies

For my first blog, I figured I probably should make a blog about my hobbies, and things that I like to do.  I have many different things that I like to do, for example, I love to play video games.  I have a lot of different games that I love, but since I don't want to be blogging on here all day, ill just talk about my absolute favorite video games.  My favorite video games include: Elder Scrolls Skyrim, Elder Scrolls Oblivion, Elder Scrolls Morrowind, and Mass Effect 2.  You have probably noticed that three out of the four video games listed on here is a part of the Elder Scrolls series, that is because the Elder Scrolls series is my favorite video game series, and Elder Scrolls Morrowind is probably one of the first video games I have ever played on a video game console.  Every one of the Elder Scrolls games is very open world, and there is always a ton of side quests to complete in addition to the main quests, not to mention the different factions that you can join.  I love Mass Effect 2 simply for the storyline that it has, I don't really care for the gameplay that much.  Aside from video games, I love to draw things, since drawing helps me to relax.  I like to write poetry as well, and I find myself to be good at poetry.  That is all of the hobbies that I have.
