Interesting Facts about Love =)
I was looking at my MSN messenger and this came up =) I found most pretty funny and wanted to share!!
For the full list go to: http://lifestyle.msn.com/relationships/articlematch.aspx?cp-documentid=10416019>1=32023
*Men who kiss their wives in the morning live five years longer than those who don't.
*People are more likely to tilt their heads to the right when kissing instead of the left (65 percent of people go to the right!)
*When it comes to doing the deed early in the relationship, 78 percent of women would decline an intimate rendezvous if they had not shaved their legs or underarms.
*Feminist women are more likely than other females to be in a romantic relationship.
*Two-thirds of people report that they fall in love with someone they've known for some time vs. someone that they just met.
*There's a reason why office romances occur: The single biggest predictor of love is proximity.
*Falling in love can induce a calming effect on the body and mind and raises levels of nerve growth factor for about a year, which helps to restore the nervous system and improves the lover's memory.
*Love can also exert the same stress on your body as deep fear. You see the same physiological responses — pupil dilation, sweaty palms, and increased heart rate.
*Brain scans show that people who view photos of a beloved experience an activation of the caudate — the part of the brain involving cravings.
*The oldest known love song was written 4,000 years ago and comes from an area between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers.
*The tradition of the diamond engagement ring comes from Archduke Maximillian of Austria who, in the 15th century, gave a diamond ring to his fiancée, Mary of Burgundy.
*People who are newly in love produce decreased levels of the hormone serotonin — as low as levels seen in people with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Perhaps that's why it's so easy to feel obsessed when you're smitten.
*According to mathematical theory, we should date a dozen people before choosing a long-term partner; that provides the best chance that you'll make a love match.
*A man's beard grows fastest when he anticipates sex.
*Every Valentine's Day, Verona, the Italian city where Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet took place, receives around 1,000 letters addressed to Juliet.
*When we get dumped, for a period of time we love the person who rejected us even more, says Dr. Helen Fisher of Rutgers University and author of Why We Love. The brain regions that lit up when we were in a happy union continue to be active.
*Familiarity breeds comfort and closeness … and romance.
*One in five long-term love relationships began with one or both partners being involved with others.

Help Save Lives
Hey guys, so as you all know I'm a member of the Relay For Life committee at FIU and participated as a team captain last year. I have never had cancer, had a family member have cancer, or have seen a friend go through hardships with this disease. So why should it affect me? This is why (Please Play the Video):
How can something that is so strong nation wide not affect you as a person? As a citizen it is your duty to give back to those less fortunate and as a human you should care about those around you. My mother (God forbid) could be on this video one day, or you, or me. Wouldn't you like someone to be there for you if it does happen? Someone to fight for your cause when you can't even walk? Fight with us however you can. Love. <3 Just wanted to share this, Participate this year in the Livestrong walk on campus and join Relay for Life. Thanks <3

Miami is the host of America's most attractive citizens =)
No one can compete with that statement ;). According to an online survey of "America's Favorite Cities" conducted by Travel + Leisure Magazine, Miami is home to the most beautiful people in the nation. Consider yourself lucky to live in such a diverse metropolis where you can find beauties from the four corners of the world. Maybe we're beautiful (yes we lol) because of the beachy atmosphere or the idea that Miami is a non sleep, always something to do type of city. Whatever it is, we're hot B). Pat yourself on the back =)

Top Skills Needed to Succeed in Life...
This is harder than I thought, I'm applying for an Internship online and they're asking what my "Special Skills" are. I dunno what to put.. I'm double jointed? w/e lol its time to look for some internet help. Thank jeebus for google =).
According to quintcareers.com, these are the most sought after skills in employess:
Skills Most Sought After by Employers
Communications Skills (listening, verbal, written). By far, the one skill mentioned most often by employers is the ability to listen, write, and speak effectively. Successful communication is critical in business.
Analytical/Research Skills. Deals with your ability to assess a situation, seek multiple perspectives, gather more information if necessary, and identify key issues that need to be addressed.
Computer/Technical Literacy. Almost all jobs now require some basic understanding of computer hardware and software, especially word processing, spreadsheets, and email.
Flexibility/Adaptability/Managing Multiple Priorities. Deals with your ability to manage multiple assignments and tasks, set priorities, and adapt to changing conditions and work assignments.
Interpersonal Abilities. The ability to relate to your co-workers, inspire others to participate, and mitigate conflict with co-workers is essential given the amount of time spent at work each day.
Leadership/Management Skills. While there is some debate about whether leadership is something people are born with, these skills deal with your ability to take charge and manage your co-workers.
Multicultural Sensitivity/Awareness. There is possibly no bigger issue in the workplace than diversity, and job-seekers must demonstrate a sensitivity and awareness to other people and cultures.
Planning/Organizing. Deals with your ability to design, plan, organize, and implement projects and tasks within an allotted timeframe. Also involves goal-setting.
Problem-Solving/Reasoning/Creativity. Involves the ability to find solutions to problems using your creativity, reasoning, and past experiences along with the available information and resources.
Teamwork. Because so many jobs involve working in one or more work-groups, you must have the ability to work with others in a professional manner while attempting to achieve a common goal.
I think I embody most if not all of these qualities so hopefully I'll get the Internship lol. I hope this information helps you in your future endeavors!!! Good luck =) <333
