The reasoning behind this crazy endeavor is simple - I have been nominated for a Liebster award by the lovely LoveTaraBabii and wish to complete it a timely fashion because, let's face it, deep down I am a horrible narcissist and I love talking about myself. Basically, for anyone who doesn't know (as I didn't until about an hour ago) a Liebster award is somewhat like a chain letter or a tumblr tag where you get told to answer questions, tag other people, and come up with your own questions and it's super fun!
(Also, shoutout to Tara because her blog is awesome and she's super nice and everyone should be following her because she's fantastic)
What is your ambition in life?
My ambition is to be an author (big surprise there...) and one day have a book published. Maybe that's unoriginal or not that exciting but it's something I've wanted since I was a little
If you could only go to one place/country before you die, where would it be?
I would definitely go to France just because I am so obsessed with Paris and literally everything French. It's a problem. If I had only one place I could go it would be to Paris with a copy of Les Mis and a baguette and I might never leave.
What is one item you can't go without?
I know this is going to end up sounding shallow, I know, but I think it would have to be either my phone or my writing notebook. I bring both of them EVERYWHERE I go, even if it's just down the street to my neighbor's house, I always need to have my phone and writing notebook. I don't know if I could say which one is more important because if I leave my writing notebook anywhere I'm afraid it'll somehow get stolen or a giant bird will eat it but if I don't have my phone I feel slightly stranded...I don't know if that's a very generation Y thing to say but I definitely think those are two things I can't go without.
What is your favourite colour and why?
My favourite colour has probably just got to be blue or grey because both are so calming to me and I feel like when I have clothes in those colours they always go with everything and make me feel very relaxed. However, whenever it's fall, my favourite colour automatically shifts into burnt orange or auburn for obvious reasons.
Do you have any pets?
I have two younger brothers and my parents always say they're enough of pets...false logic. I want a cat.
If life had an undo button, what would you undo?
All of sophomore year for reasons I do not wish to disclose.
What makes you different from everyone else?
Um...wow. That is a difficult question to answer without seeming narcissistic (revealing my true nature) so I have enlisted a friend's help.
He says: "Um, let's see, you're a good writer, good at debate (not as good as me of course), you get quite passionate about random things....Good academic. Classics nerd. I don't know, don't put me on the goddamn spot!"
Charming. But I think that sums it up, for the most part?
If you could only drink one thing for the rest of your life what would it be?
Orange juice! I love the sh*t out of that stuff, it's so filling and tasty.
Your favourite film?
Of all time, probably School of Rock with Jack Black or The Dead Poets' Society with Robin Williams - I know both of them by heart.
If somebody made a film about your life, who would you want to play you?
Emma Watson, no ifs, ands, or buts. She is my God.
How would you describe yourself?
I guess I am very unapologetically myself? I get passionate and fired up about things and I don't let anyone give me crap about it. I can be loud but also quiet and I try to be nice but I don't always succeed. I'm a writer, a wannabe fashion guru, youtube addict, blogspot lover, music obsessed, book reader, Latin scholar, Les Mis connoisseur of a person. And I hope that's not too bad to anyone.

Thanks so much for the nomination, Tara, and sorry I couldn't nominate more people!!! Also sorry that people had to actually read this because I know it's probably very longwinded and dull but thanks for getting through it anyway!
