Hi everyone! I haven’t been online in around two weeks, so it’s great to be back! I went to Madison last week and it was super fun!

Lucky! My spring break doesn't happen until Easter 😑

" The most important thing, in anything you do, is always trying your hardest, because even when you try your hardest and it's not as good as you'd hoped, you still have that sense of not letting yourself down." - Tom Holland. Hope this helped anyone having a bad day or something. It's a good thing to put into practice in your life.

That is so inspiring. People really do need encouragement sometimes, and this really lit up my day.

Yeah, I like that....thanks for the quote, it was nice!

Amazing facts on this one! Cant wait to win it

Quiz time! 1. What are two phrases that you are known for saying? 2. Imagine you get an opportunity to shake hands with any one (living or in history), who would that person be? 3. Who is your favorite author? 4. What is your favorite pastime? 5. What a recent skill you’ve learned? 6. List 2 places you would never want to alone at night….MY ANSWERS: 1. “That’s so neat!” and “Oh, my gosh!” 2. Probably Britt Nicole. 3. Ann M. Martin 4. Hand-lettering or reading 5. How to hand-letter! It’s so easy and now I can write really pretty sayings and stuff. 6. 1. The forest 2. A haunted house…..I hope you enjoy this quiz and I look forward to seeing your answers! 🙃

1. "Oh my gosh!" and "Um...". 2. Avril Lavigne 3. Katherine Applegate 4. Being on here, reading and listening to music! 5. Does Slope count? 6. South Central Los Angeles, and some parts of Mexico.

Being on here, reading, and listening to music are some of my favorite pastimes too! 😃 And yes, I think Slope does count. Thanks for replying!

1. "what do I care" and "so what?" 2. I would shake hands with David Shiffman (he's a shark biologist) 3. David Shiffman 4. wishing that i could move to the ocean to tag sharks and video games 5. needle felting 6. the ocean (that's feeding time) and a dark alleyway

1) "OMG" and "awesome!" 2) Gopi Shankar Madurai 3) Brian Freeman, but I read a lot of books from a diverse group of authors, so it's kind of hard for me to choose 4) reading and art 5) IDK 6) A random stranger's house, a forest. Thanks for the quiz!

I definitely think art and reading are great pastimes! Thanks for replying!!

1. "Let's see what I've got in my drawers!" and opera (Both from my play) 2. Not sure! 3. Probably Erin Hunter (Warrior Cats.) 4. Reading or drawing 5. Making string bracelets 6. Literally any basement or anywhere abandoned

Lol yeah, in my study hall period one time we were all singing my big opera solo from Human Again. It was fun!! We got yelled at for being too loud though ;-;

I'm not a HUGE fan but I think they're pretty good.

I don't really watch Marvel, but a lot of people like it!

Uh, I don't think I've ever watched a Marvel movie. But I've heard they're pretty good. 😃

But Iron Man is the first one. I will warn you the first Spiderman's with Tobey Maguire can get a little dark.

Spiderman Homecoming is a good starter movie on the MCU's (Marvel Cinematic Universe)
