11 Questions from Claire:
1) Describe your style.
I would describe my style as simple, casual, and classic. It's very comfortable, but something that won't go out of style.
2) Are you an early bird or night owl?
Definitely an early bird! I can wake up at 5 o'clock and be ok for the most part.. But keep me up after 10? Ooh.. I'm not exactly the most pleasant person.
3) Are you a procrastinator or do you like getting things done early?
I try to get things done early.. but sometimes with so many classes and things I do the hardest stuff first, and forget about the smaller assignments. I do try to write everything down in my agenda so I
don't forget things!
4) Favorite holiday?
Christmas. I love celebrating Jesus's birthday! We have a special tradition at my house.. We make a
super yummy Christmas Pizza.

Meeting new people and not procrastinating whatsoever. I'm just going to try and stay on top of things and get things done on time this year. Hopefully I will get to learn more about things that I'm interested in.

11) What do you want to do when you graduate college?
I want to become some sort of teacher.. If not a special needs teacher, I would love to be an English teacher. I will definitely consider blogging, I really hope it will be successful.. I also think it would be really fun to start some sort of company or designer.

Dress up in princess dresses and go to Disney World. I'm really myself when I'm in such a fun place like Disney World... Even to this day that's true.

Polka dots! I can be a girly girl at times (like where fashion is involved) but also a tom boy by doing things like hiking and running and things like that. I especially love gold polka dots:)
9. Why did you decide to become a blogger?
