I know this is a little late, but it sounds like all of your last days of school are so early 😭. My summer break doesn’t start until halfway through June :| .

Yup that's Taiwan schools (although we do get almost a month off for Lunar New Year :))

I can only say, you are in luck, my summer break starts mid july ToT And next year is even later, sometime in august! I wouldn't even call it summer break anymore... Hang in there, it'll come before you know it!

Fun Fact basket ball was invented in the 30's and they used baskets for hoops and a soccer ball

I will definitely have to share this one of my friends. He's obsessed with basketball so he's get a kick out of it!

I did actually know that! I forgot it was in the back of my mind though, I'm not really into basketball, I play volleyball, track, and field. Do you play basketball, or just enjoy watching?

Oh, that's cool! In general, I don't know much about baseball, but the concept is pretty similar to kickball, am I right?

I hope everyone's doing great, quick question: Original oreos or golden oreos? My answer: I for sure like the golden ones way more! I'm not really a fan of cookies and cream...

Also, what is your opinion on my new background?

Nice touch! Green really fits your avatar!

It’s cool! The green looks great with your avatar :)

It's kind of giving Mediterranean olive color meets pickle, which I'm here for!

Hi, this will be my new account for the HudaR123 account and zainabr139. Just wanted to clarify
