College Essay #6 - Personal Habit


57. Describe a personal habit that helps to define you as a person.


What makes something a habit? Most people say it take 3 to 4 weeks to make an action a habit but I personally think that something does not become a habit without effort. Habits can be really useful and also can reveal something about your personality. A lot of my close friends know that when I am down and I am not feeling up to the mark, I usually write or scribble something on a piece of paper. Writing or just scribbling something on a piece of paper helps me express my emotions and relieves the stress.


Since sixth grade I have always kept a journal. Sometimes when I feel there is no one there who would listen to my problems, I just write down everything. Writing journals can make you remember the great experiences that you had made once upon a time. Looking back to journals that I have written few years back, I feel a great deal of satisfaction and I realize all the great times that I have encountered.


My friends know that if I have any writing utensil in my hand I will scribble or do graffiti somewhere or the other. I start writing names of people who are close to me or just draw some random pictures which later makes sense, and I can actually reflect upon the pictures. I think, throwing out something that you would want to save as a memory on a piece of paper can tell a lot about a human being.


So habits can be really useful. We grow familiar with them. We use them regularly. They become a part of us. We keep using them because of the affects they have and the uses we put them to. They become part of our life and a part of us. Use them well and they will serve you well and really contribute something to your life.
