Something I Hate About Myself--Day 1

So, I'm doing this challenge called 30 days of truth. It gives you a topic a day to write about, and is supposed to be quite enlightening. You're never supposed to write about the first thing you think of; the second or third thing in line is usually much more meaningful.

I have played almost every sport in the book. I've done any activity you can think of. I've taken a variety of classes. But in every single one of these things I just float by. I can be trying my very hardest, but still end up just being average. I'm 101 in a class of 412, 2nd or 3rd place in every debate I've ever done. I'm that person who never gets promoted, who tries and always succeeds, but someone else succeeds faster or higher up than.

There always seems to be someone better than me out there. Always.
Debate: Dixon and Justin
Rifle: Shelby
Softball: Kenzie
Racquetball: Brittany
Basketball: Dani
Volleyball: Liz
Intelligence: David
The list goes on and on. Someone is always better than me. I've never been the person to save the day for my team, or come in first. That's what I hate the most about myself. I'm not extraordinary in anything; just ordinary.

  2. I can totally relate to this!
    it just seems like i'll never be the best at anything. ya know? which is fine most of the time... but sometimes i just wish i could be REALLY good at something. in stead of just mediocre.
    But you're great. can i just say i'm glad we've stayed friends even tho you're at college? unlike some of my other douches of friends that just decide their too cool for me. anyway. random i know. but i just thought i'd share. :)
    i love you!
