Confessions of a Total Shithead

About the Book

The following pages contain a series of writings that were conjured up through the mind of a young girl who finds herself the victim of her own thoughts. Many questions remain unanswered. Why do these feelings come about? Am I this strange? Do other people my age have these thoughts? Why do I feel compelled to even print this? Why expose myself to potential ridicule or criticism? In these writings, there is hope that these and other questions will open a door of understanding and acceptance. An understanding, that maybe these thoughts are not unique to just the author and may possibly be helpful to someone with similar thoughts.

About the Author

Exactly what does a twenty year old know about life? Not much right? Well, Alexis Chocianowski has always thought of herself as a 35 year old person at the ripe ‘ole age of 7. She would think thoughts, which were incommensurate with her age. She felt that adults never listened to things children said. And she always had something to say. Alexis grew up in Queens, NY. Similar to any child these days, she went to nursery school and then moved on to elementary, middle school then finally to high school. The only thing is, she attended parochial schools. She was educated at a Lutheran elementary school from Kindergarten through 3rd grade. Then she attended a Catholic elementary school for 2 years. She went back to a Lutheran for middle school, then finally an all girls Catholic High School. After surviving changes in schools, differences in religious teachings and going to a school without the opposite sex, she went off to college. Currently she attends Pace University in Westchester County where she is studying Communications. She is uncertain where her future lies, but knows for certain that expression through writing has helped her cope with some of her darkest thoughts.
