25 Things You Didn't (Want to) Know About Me

If you read Us Weekly instead of the newspaper like I do, you know that they have a feature called "25 Things You Don't Know About Me" where celebrities share information about themselves. I'm not a celebrity (yet) and I don't really have many secrets but I thought I would take some time to share 25 things about me that will in no way impact your life. This week I'm answering the questions no one cared to ask. Enjoy!

1. I'm obsessed with reality shows about cheerleaders. I have all the Bring It On movies, watched Hellcats in a week, devoured Cheer Squad in like 3 days, I'm currently on Cheerleader Nation and let's not forget the Lifetime movie that shook the nation, Fab Five: The Texas Cheerleader Scandal. Never cheered in my life.

2. If it is less than 50 degrees I will be whiny and obnoxious about how cold it is and beg global warming to come through for me.

3. If I have ever told you "you couldn't pay me enough to _________" I was lying.

4. My all-time favorite housewife is Brandi Glanville. Fight me. Close seconds include Jeana Keough, Kyle Richards, Gretchen Rossi, and Carole Radziwill. Least favorite...Kelly Bensimon.

5.  I don't curse on social media (or in real life Mom!) but I did once retweet a curse word from President Obama telling John McCain to kick cancer's A-double snakes.

6. I say "I'd rather die" at least 7 times a day and I thank the Kardashians for that.

7. I hate the dog filter on Snapchat. I need a lot more Photoshopping than that. If a filter isn't enlarging my eyes or clearing my complexion I don't understand why it exists.

8. I think Everybody Loves Raymond is depressing. When I told my parents that and said it made marriage and life look awful they said it was pretty accurate.

9. My biggest fear is and always has been losing my memory. When I was younger I used to keep a ton of journals where I would write down what I did every day just in case but then at some point I realized that my life is pretty boring and maybe I don't need to recall in great detail my orthodontist appointment in September 2003.

10. If I have more than 3 Snapchats I get overwhelmed and will take hours to open them.

11. I'm afraid of escalators. What if you don't get off at the right time and get shredded like an old bank statement that my dad read before delivering to me? On a related note...also terrified of being scalped. I am very cautious around fans.

12. Tuesday is my favorite day of the week because when I was younger there was always a Law & Order: SVU marathon on USA and that's when new episodes of Glee came on.

13. Unlike all of my friends, I like The Mindy Project more than New Girl because I relate to everything Mindy Kaling touches on a spiritual level.

14. My favorite Bible story is Jacob's life because he married Rachel, my namesake, and I am self-obsessed as many of you know. My name means "little lamb" in Hebrew and that's why I will never eat lamb.

15. I almost exclusively wear black but my favorite color is actually yellow because it reminds me of happiness, lemons and sunshine.

16. My favorite band is The 1975 and I want to marry Matty Healy. Smoking is bad but he makes it look so cool.

17. I genuinely don't understand why we have to work on leap days. If you're on salary, your labor is free for 8 hours every 4 years. And also...why isn't Halloween a federal holiday? That upsets me.

18. Sometimes I have random art knowledge and I'm not sure if it's from a class I took in college or Mona Lisa Smile. If you look at my college transcript you'll probably assume the latter. In my defense, I didn't read the textbook so my grade should be low.

19. I don't believe in aliens but that's mainly because I don't care about space enough to think about it. I'm also still mad at NASA for revoking Pluto's planetary status. That was a low blow. And they're so far out there, the news probably hasn't even reached them yet.

20. I don't understand why anyone would make a bed that they're just going to sleep in later that day. I mean, on an ideal day, I'm heading right back in 10 hours or less.

21. I only like canned pineapple. The texture of fresh pineapple is just not my jam. Also pineapple jam sounds gross. I like my canned pineapple with A.1. steak sauce even though I don't eat steak.

22. I hate walnuts and honey, but love baklava. Walnuts and honey are literally two-thirds of the ingredients of baklava.

23. I don't drink alcohol or coffee but I am in no way affiliated with the Latter-day Saints. However, I have seen every episode of Sister Wives. Christine is my favorite wife.

24. I am Melungeon, which means I am descended from a tri-racial group from the mountains of North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky where Europeans, Africans and Native Americans settled.

25. I don't plan on getting a tattoo but if I did it would be the dark mark on my forearm because Always.
