sunshine blogger award!

Thank you to Ella of Today Tomorrow Forever Ella not only for nominating me for this award, but for being an amazing person and blogger! I'm sure she would love for you to have a look at her blog and she definitely is worth subscribing to! As I've said before, I love these types of community awards because they really give smaller blogs more recognition for such hard work, especially since a lot of us put just as much effort in as the more well-known bloggers out there. I'm so glad to be able to contribute to this wonderful community!

My Answers:

1. What food group would you choose to live without if you had to? This is a hard one! If I’m pretending that this wouldn’t have any effect on my health, I’d have to say I would get rid of grains. This is mostly the process of elimination: I love ice cream so I wouldn’t get rid of dairy, I love chicken so I wouldn’t get rid of meat, and I really love apples so I wouldn't get rid of fruit/veggies. As much as I enjoy rice and bread, grains would be the one to go!
2. What is your favorite animal and why? I like birds. They seem so free and it seems like a lot of fun to fly up high, away from all the chaos down here. I think it would be cool to have huge wings to spread out, like a hawk or something. Plus, they can travel anywhere in the entire world! 
3. What is your favorite book? There are so many, but I recently read My Lady Jane by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows. It was funny, adventurous, and an awesome spin on history.
4. Do you believe in ghosts or any supernatural beings of such? I don’t really believe in ghosts. They just don’t seem real, I guess!
5. What subject interested you most at school? I really love science! I’ve taken Biology and Biomedical Technology and I find a lot of it super fascinating. Sometimes they can be boring, but that’s just school. There’s so much happening in the field of science that it’s hard not to be just a little interested in biology!
6. What is the most important lesson you feel you have learnt in life so far? To be honest, I haven’t fully understood this lesson, but I’m working on it: I really am trying to stop caring so much about what other people think of me. It causes a lot of anxiety although I know people aren't really paying attention to stuff I do. 
7. Did you have a childhood teddy, if so what was its name and do you still have it? I had a lot of stuffed animals, but none that I was terribly bonded with. I did have a little dog animal, and I called her Sweetie Zeneca (I honestly have no clue where I got that name from). I think she's still lying around here somewhere!
8. Tell your readers something they don’t know about you. I had really long hair until today, when I decided to take the plunge and cut about 4-5 inches off, so now I have short hair! I think it looks great right now because it's straightened, but I'm not sure how it will look when it goes to it's natural thick and wavy state.
9. Would you rather live for 100 years or a 1000 years if everyone else lived according to time and fate? I would much rather live 100 years than 1000 years- this is mostly based off of the book Tuck Everlasting where a young girl magically lives forever. It really shows that the measurement of a life is quality, not quantity. I would also just get extremely bored and impatient!
10. What is your most embarrassing childhood memory? One time, in third grade, I was wearing a loose skirt and it slipped off for a second, but luckily everyone was facing the TV which was in the other direction!
11. What song title best reflects you? "Dreams." One of my favorite songs is called "Dreams," and- well, I've got a lot of dreams!
