Hey Guys! I am so happy I have my fall break this week!!! When do y'all have fall break?

I don't have fall break in my country, but was your fall break fun? What did you do?

I'm on my last day of fall break today! (10/17/2025 9:10 PM)

My fall break is also not until Thanksgiving time. I know many other people who have a fall break and a Thanksgiving break! But not me

Aw, you're so lucky! I've got no fall break, and I have to prepare for my midterm exam next week!

Unfortunately, not until November. But I have a 4-day weekend!

Hey guysss! I changed my username, so if your wondering who I am, I used to go by bookaddict!

Wow, cool new name!

Hey guys shout out to @anne0327 for following me back! How has school been for y'all lately? Remember if you are not following me yet please do so once you do I promise to make sure to follow you back.

I'm following, I've been for a loooong time! Anyways, school has been good, how about for you?

Fun question! If you were stranded on an island and were only given three songs that you could listen to while waiting to be rescued (or not rescued 👀), which three would you pick? MY ANSWER: "Dusty Bibles" by Josiah Queen, "Can't Steal My Joy" by Josiah Queen, and "The Truth" by Megan Woods"...what about you?!

In My Mind by Lyn Lapid, Send my Love by Adele, and The Feast Meant for Everyone by Tom Booth and Sarah Hart.

Thank you! Unfortunately couldn't fit a Marino or BoyWithUke song

"Wave" by Janet Evra, "Blackened" by Metallica, and "Known You Always" by The Fray. Jazz, thrash and pop rock. Variety makes for more entertainment.

Metallica is really good! Do you like Master of Puppets?

Good thinking! Variety would definitely help if you're stranded!

Wait that’s actually such a great idea!!
