gungho

To be gungho about something is to be passionate, excited, or all about it. To like/love something - a lot.

She's all gungho about Italian food.

short end of the stick

to get the short end of the stick is to suffer the bad effects of a situation.

Good Samaritan laws exist so that people who have a desire to help don't wind up getting the short end of the stick.

I really suck at writing about myself, so in application processes that require personal statements, I really get the short end of the stick.
