( notes: psychological tests & measurement ) 

beyond my teacher being incredibly extroverted, peppy, cute, & funny, i had a blast taking this summer course. i needed it to complete my degree, & the fall semester class didn’t fit into my schedule, so summer was the only option. i wouldn’t give up the memories for the world.

♫ ♫  - square one: coldplay

Rules: always post the rules, answer the 11 questions, then make up 11 more and tag 11 people.

Questions:

1. what’s a line from a song that inspires you in any way?

there’s a song from coldplay called “violet hill” that’s just always a pleasure for me to listen to. a particular line from it that i personally love is:  “ I took my love down to violet hill There we sat in snow All that time she was silent still Said if you love me, won't you let me know? If you love me, won't you let me know? ”

there’s something about this line that just makes me feel so... inspired? inspires me to talk about my feelings to people, & make sure they know the truth. i don’t want anyone second guessing or being confused. 

2. what pushed you to make your account?

it was only a matter of time before i did. i love the community, for the most part. i was in the studygram community for a while, but i felt as though i would feel more connected to the studyblr community on tumblr.

3. what’s your favourite clothing item?

when i was in my final year of high school, my father took me to goodwill to pick up some “new” school clothes (i love going to goodwill to find some interesting vintage pieces). in the men’s sweater section, there was this short sleeved, mock neck-esque blue sweater with a burgundy, white, & yellow-ish stripe going through the bottom & the middle of it, & i instantly fell in love with it. i still have it to this day. 

4. what’s the one country that you absolutely wan to visit before you die?

belize. my immediate family immigrated from there to America, & i’d love to go & see my family’s homeland. i also want to go to the “south of france” to honor my grandfather’s last request.

5. what’s the song that you are loving the most right now?

i’m not much of a rap fan, but kendrick lamar’s “loyalty” has been on repeat on my apple music for days. coming in second is khalid’s “young dumb & broke”, & in third is caravan palace’s “aftermath”.

6. what’s the one thing that you are absolutely obsessed with? (i.e. stationery, plushies, posters)

the colour burgundy on anything. 

7. are you move of a rural or urban person?

most certainly an urban person. i was born in manhattan & lived there for several years before moving to florida.

8. are you a person who tends to procrastinate or do you like to get things done right away?

i’m personally a little bit of both. sometimes i’ll procrastinate & sometimes i’ll get things done in advance. it all depends on what it is, the time frame i have, & if i feel motivated enough to do it.

9. do you like following a routine or are you more productive when you get to choose your schedule day by day?

like the question above, i’m both. i love routines, but after awhile, routines become mundane & plain, so i like choosing my own schedule day-to-day sometimes. routine is good, however; it keeps me accountable. 

10. Do you have any pets?

currently, no. i used to have many pets throughout my younger years, but i cannot support myself & a pet currently.

11. what’s one thing that always makes you happy no matter the situation?

i have my own little headspace that i kind of go into whenever things get bad or boring. no matter what, it always cheers me up.

my questions:

thank you for tagging me in this fun game, @coastalstudyblr​!

i tag: @studyingsenseless, @spacetimestudies, @studyblr, @etudiegogh, @meiastudies, @umbrellastudies, @studyruels, @greysstudies, @wanderluststudyblr, @trash-studying, & @eggystudy!

Rules: Answer 11 questions, then write your own 11 questions and tag 11 people!

1. what is your hidden talent?

i can manipulate the sound of my voice to sound like barbie!

2. waffles or pancakes?

neither; but if i had to make a choice, i like the weird texture of waffles.

3. would you rather have hiccups for the rest of your life or always feel like you need to sneeze and then not?

both are equally annoying, oh gosh. however, hiccuping for the rest of your life could present heart problems so i’ll take the near-sneezing.

4. why did you start your blog?

i really wanted to see some fancy stationery, to be honest. i was a lover of stationery before i knew about the studyblr community (i was primarily in the bullet journal community), & so i kind of waddled my way into this community & have liked it since!

5. if you could start a new life, what would you do?

i’ll give a different answer since the one i want to say isn’t something i’d like to share.  if i could start a new life, i would probably want to live minimalistically. i would love to know how it feels to not have so much stuff.

6. what is your least favorite quality?

i’m extremely overcritical of myself & destroy my self-esteem from within due to a lack of emotional/physical stability in my childhood. yeah, i’ll be blunt about it. i’m working on it, though.

7. what is your biggest pet peeve?

people who goddamn stop right in the middle of a walkway to talk to someone or just because they’re checking their phone or something. also when people are holding hands & taking up the entire walkway so i can’t pass them. like, i don’t mind you holding hands, but people are trying to get by.

8. sugar and spice or salt and pepper? 

salt & pepper ALL THE WAY.

9. how do you cope with stress/pressure?

i either cry, have a mental breakdown, leave the stressor alone & come back to it later, settle down with some tea & mull over it, or use the stress/pressure to do somethign productive. usually the first three are the most common for me. 

10. can you describe yourself in one word?

Insouciance.

11. what color is your bedroom wall?

since it’s not really my bedroom (as in, i live in an off-campus student apartment), i can’t paint my room the color i want. it’s white, however!
