• Small line-shaped scar by my right nostril: Grandma's dog scratched me when I was about 4 while I was hugging it to take a picture. A picture was taken before the scratching, and it's actually quite cute.
  • Circle-shaped scar on my left shin: I fell off of a friend's bunk bed in their college dorm room while leaning over to talk to the people in the bottom bunk. I fell from that position and landed sitting upright on their dorm fridge. Everyone was startled, but I said I was fine. A moment later, my friend Brennan said, "Look at your leg!" My pants-leg was completely covered in blood. Upon going to the bathroom and rinsing the blood off, I realized that I could see into my leg about a half an inch. Deep puncture wound that didn't heal for months.
  • Bump under the skin on the back of my right shoulder: This scar is under the skin, and it was caused by some bump that I got when I was about 7 that my mom had to ooze pus from every night. Not quite sure why.
  • Small circle on my right arm right above my elbow-pit. This was caused when I got some minor scratch that scabbed over. As a result, I couldn't stop picking the scab, and it eventually scarred over.
  • Back of my head under my hair: I haven't actually seen this scar, but I had a small bump removed with a laser there, and I'm sure a scar resulted.
  • Permanent red mark on my left forearm right above my birthmark: The summer before my junior year of college, I got a massively horrible case of hives. The red mark is a leftover remnant from that horrible experience.
