One of my favorite things about being Chinese is their zodiac signs! Okay, that's not true. My favorite thing is that my skin is going to stay smooth forever and I'll always look younger because Chinese skin. Haha! Anyway, Monday, February 8th is Chinese New Year. This year is the year of the monkey! Unfortunately, the year of the tiger won't come back around till 2022. Many of y'all may not believe in zodiac signs and typically I don't, but I do believe in my Chinese zodiac sign! For this post I figured I would tell you a little about my zodiac sign. I was born March 20th, 1998. That means that I am an Earth Tiger! Woohoo! Although, I would have preferred the Water Tiger because water is my favorite element.
Anyway, back to the year of the tiger. I did a little research and I found that many Chinese people avoid having children in the year of the tiger because tiger girls are equivalent with what we would call dragon ladies; they're what I call HBICs! The basic traits of Earth Tigers are that they are responsible, level headed, truth seekers, and reasonable. Earth Tigers are also natural born leaders, honest, and intense. I change my mind, I like being an Earth Tiger! I also learned that Earth Tigers are stubborn and determined. Obviously, that isn't me because I'm not stubborn at all. (It's a good thing it's not cloudy outside or I would have been struck by lightening!)
The two most interesting things I learned from my research is that tigers are considered very lucky. Before mom and dad brought me to the U.S. they were having drinks with their friends and trying to think of a name for me. One of their friends said they should call me Lucky! They ended up with the longest name in the world, Alexandria Mehaffey Kultgen, but that friend of theirs always called me Lucky! It became a nickname and to this day I have a bracelet with the word lucky written on it. The other really interesting thing I learned was that tigers get along best with horses, dragons, and pigs. Mom is the year of the horse. It seems to me that even before we were matched we were supposed to be mother and daughter. It was written in the stars! (That was so cheesy; I'm so sorry. Haha!)
