So this is the post I was really excited about, Alyssa, who writes From Campus with Love, nominated me for this, what a sweetie! Thank you!

Okay so the rules and stuff I’m just copying and pasting from her post which you can find here.

The Questions 
1. What one word best describes you? Awkward

2. Why did you start blogging? It was something I had wanted to do for years, like an online diary, but I didn’t follow through at all until I watched a video on to do what you want and take a challenge. It just took a blog (or four) until one stuck.

6. What’s your dream job? Traveling around the world writing and volunteering.

7. What is your favorite way to spend your leisure time? Browsing the internet trying to find new blogs or just scrolling tumblr.

8. If you could go anywhere in the world right now, where would it be and why? A secret place to hid from the earth, read fifty books and return to civilization.

9. Who is your celeb crush? Zac Efron.

10. What is your favorite thing about yourself? I have big ambitions, and I’m convinced that I will make it all happen. I like that I’m hopeful.

11. Do you have any special talents? I’m really good at foaming milk.

Random Facts

1. I go through a lot of phases where I get really excited about something and then I stop being excited about it.
2. I can’t eat past 11 without feeling really sick.
3. I wanted to name my first younger sister Hook.
4. I have friends that I hug every time I see them whether it’s been a day or four months and I have other friends who I never ever hug.
5. I like sitting in the dark, so I would hardly ever turn the lights on in my room at school.
6. The only time I don’t like shopping is when I actually need something and for shoes.
7. I don’t like even numbers.
8. I really, really want a new job.
9. I love reading, so much.
10. If I like a shirt and it’s two sizes too big I’ll buy it anyway, oversized is always cool too.
