Can't you believe in both?

What triggered my interest in the tool kit was the ideas of realism and idealism. As I read about it, I began to realize that I am a little bit of both. I am now more a realist than I use to be, but I still like to believe in the possibility that anything can happen. I like to think that the Disney fairy tail will happen, or that I will become wealthy and famous with solely hard work. But in the back of my mind I know that this won't happen, and I will most likely lead an average life somewhere on the east coast of the United States. See, pretty realistic. But it is that lingering belief that something different will happen that keeps me in that idealist mode. 

I think that everyone has a little bit of idealist in them. Without it life would be too harsh. Idealist, I like to think are dreamers. And without dreams nothing would ever really be accomplished or created. It is the ideas, even in the most realistic people, that make life worth living.

A little bit about me

Hello, I am Rachel Niddrie. I am a freshman at MCLA. I am on the Women's soccer team where I play the defensive position. I am a psychology major thinking about moving in the field of either sports psychology or adolescent counseling. 
I am a big music fan, I enjoy most types of music, I am a big county fan, but I will give anything a listen. I was in the acapella group in my high school as well as an actor in the school's musicals.
I also enjoy reading. I typically like to read stories about people's lives. I have recently been on a memoir kick and have read a few books about drug addicts; they fascinate me.  
I also like to watch a little television. I am a big Grey's Anatomy and Pretty Little Liars fan. I also like to watch Glee (mainly for the music) and Law and Order. Feel free to ask me anything!
