Hi guys! I am aiming for 10 followers and if you follow me I will totally follow you and I will keep my promise!

Literally all of them! Mostly Hallmarks but I also love all the remade live-action Disney princess movies 😊

Yess, the live actions are soo good! I really like mulan and cinderella!

Have you guys watched Beauty and the Beast( live action ) yet? It's pretty good!

YES! The live action Cinderella is one of my favorite movies, it's just so sweet and romantic! 😭 I just found out a couple of days ago that there is going to be a live action Snow White 🎉

I now i'm so ready to go watch it spring break it came out today March 21

Oh, I love Lord Of The Rings!!

Lord Of The Rings extended edition, Kung Fu panda, How to Train Your Dragon, The Matrix, Sonic, Endgame, the list goes on and on so that's all I'll put.

I like Marvel movies! Maybe because I like fantasy books, and while Marvel is different, it's similar in a few ways.

I really like Marvel movies like Iron Man, Black Panther, and Black Widow. I also really enjoyed Avatar (the one with blue creatures). Whatta bout you??

I like the Doctor Strange ones and the Captain America ones!

Wall-E, Shrek are classics from childhood; I don't watch movies too often tho :)

I struggle really badly to stay still for more than fifteen minutes, so I usually watch episodes. So I can relate.

You might think I'm crazy for this. But as far as I can remember I have never seen Shrek.

I've never watched it, I know what it's about, but I haven't actually WATCHED it.

I like science fiction(like ID4 or Eternals) , and animal themed films(like PETS! )

I like Big, the princess bride, are you there god its me Margaret?, six triple eight, and much more!😁 What do you guys like for sports? I love tennis🎾

I actually just (re)watched The Princess Bride for a movie night with my bestfriends (I have three). I like volleyball, track and field, and now that I understand football, I'll watch it. I went to the highschool Homecoming game.

I've read "Are You There God? It's Me Margaret" before–– not bad at all. I really enjoy field hockey (pretty self explanatory; hockey on a field)

I enjoy basketball... But my favorite sport is Airsoft.

Def every single 2000's movies. Blended, Mean girls, 27 dresses, everything lol.

Quiz time!! 1. Are you a romantic (someone who is obsessed with romance and love) or a realist (someone I guess the opposite of a romantic) 2. Is there a song you have heard recently that you are obsessed with? 3. What is your favorite store? 4. What is your favorite drink? 5. Who are some role models in your life? 6.

I absolutely love pearl milk tea and I think it's sweet that your sister is one of your role models! Thanks for replying!

I am taiwanese! And I really like bubble tea!

Omigosh, you're taiwanese?? That's crazy, my mom's from Taiwan! I don't usually meet people from there; it's a small world after all... We plan on travelling there in summer, and I am super excited–– mostly for the food and getting to see extended family!

Taiwan might be a small island, but there are plenty of fun things to do there! And yeah, the food here is really good~

1. Mhh, I think I'm more neutral, leaning towards romantic 2. "Die With A Smile" by Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga! 3. I honestly don't really have a favorite but I like going to the mall because everything is in walking distance 4. Tbh it's water, I know, I'm a plain jane, but hear me out, it's refreshing, thirst quenching, and hydrating! Also, am I the only one who occasionally thinks water is sometimes sweet? 5. My grandma and my parents!! 6. Oof, that's a toughie! Probably my spotify playlist... does that count? 7. Worship music and depending on the situation my parents Thanks for the quiz! Loved it!

I had "Die With a Smile" stuck in my head a couple of weeks ago! You make a pretty good case for water too, I have to say! 😂 Thanks for replying!

What books is everyone reading? I'm reading Hushed October, The Women Who Rides Like a Man, The Seven Songs of Merlin, and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. I really, like fantasy, if you couldn't tell, lol. ~

Im reading the powerless series and I just finish ouabh!

Lord Of The Rings( reading again, they're to good not to!), The Harbinger, that's all right now really.

I love fantasy too ;) just finished Elantris by my fav fantasy author Brandon Sanderson!!

I'm reading Anatomy of a Misfit-pretty good book

I am reading Obama's autobiography,3 ordinary girls, Marie Curie, and a lot more! I love history and autobiography's so much! The only bad thing about that is a lot of kids don't like that genre, so I have no one to talk to it about.😭

You can talk to it about me! I can also ask my sister about some, she really enjoys them, too!

Booker T. Washington's, Up From Slavery is a good one.

I am reading whatever after book one. Also I am reading Cooper's story.I really like fictional books!

Yes!! I love fiction and fantasy, but due to my Deaf sister, I've always enjoyed stuff about Helen Keller, and Deaf people in general. I also like the Laura and Mary series for non-fiction, though.

Actually, nothing at the moment. Haven't really had time unfortunately 😕

That's okay! I sometimes don't have time to read books for periods of time, I totally understand.

Heyy! Tbh, I sometimes pick up a book but end up not finishing it (I knoww, how could I do such a thing?). Currently, I'm reading Little Women (it's... hard🥲) and Educated by Tara Westover. I recently finished "Are You There God? It's Me Margaret" by Judy Blume. I also really like fantasy, but also dystopian.

I'm in a book club with one of my best friends and her siblings, I had to read Little Women, I personally like it. Do you have to read it for school? I've never heard of 'Educated by Tara Westover.' My mom doesn't want us (my sister and me) reading 'Are You There God? It's Me, Margret.' I think I've just stopped books before, but that was only when I didn't like them. I think. I'm not sure.

No, I don't have to read it for school, I just wanted to improve my literacy but I had to constantly pause every so often to look up a word I didn't know so it got pretty tiring. "Educated" is an autobiography that I have yet to finish. It's actually pretty interesting! I happened to stumble upon it after scrolling aimlessly on Libby, an app/website where you can read e-books. As for "Are You There God? It's Me, Margret", it's not bad but I don't really agree with the main character's line of thinking and actions.

Guys idk I feel like ur smart bc u do Dogo, but for classes I wanted ur opinions. :D Should I take AP or honors??

So you've already gotten a lot of answers, so just follow those, really look at chocolate's answer, too. But if I were you, I'd look at what I'm most interested in for college/university, and then do some research on which is best for what I'd want to study. Also, I recommend taking CLEP tests. And when you're researching, use multiple resources, especially the ones you know are the most authoritative. Sorry if I'm late, I thought I responded. :'(

From my understanding, AP classes are college-level and can earn you credit if you pass the exam, but they’re a lot of work and move fast. Honors classes are still advanced but not as intense as AP. If you really like a subject and feel confident in it, AP might be worth it. If you want a challenge but with a bit less pressure, honors could be a great choice. But that’s just how I see it! What subjects are you thinking about? 🙃

Heyy! Honestly, it's really up to you because you know yourself best. An option is, wherever your strengths lie is where you should challenge yourself. But I can't really give you much though because my school system is different from the American school system. I only know so much of what my dad told me from his youth. To be honest though, it'd probably be better if you discussed it with your parents and teachers. I hope the little I could give you helped!!

Depends, is it for a subject you are genuinely interested in? If so, AP should be more interesting/meaningful; the added workload (as well as a deeper understanding of the content) might give you an idea of whether you want to pursue it further in uni. If not, honors is never a bad idea either. Good luck either way, and happy studies!!
