So cool! Reading through your answers, we really are twins!!! Horses, 8th grade, realistic fiction, and mentoring! I start tutoring at my local library this week. I am nervous but mostly excited. Guess what? You know how I was saying that I had no horse stuff at all. Well, as of a few weeks ago, I have horse stickers, a horse necklace, and a horse charm bracelet!! I thought you would be pleased! 🤣🐎

Omg, that`s crazy! 🤣 Yeah, Mentoring and tutoring are almost the same thing...yeah! I still can`t even get over of how we are very similar to each other! And yes, I are REALLY pleased of how that since i`m a horse-crazy and kinda feeling like i`m only one who is very horse-crazy! 🐴 🤣

I know, right?!! I am horse crazy too, so you are not alone!! 🐎😆

Haha!!! Now that I`m definitely not alone with the horse-craziness!!!!🐴🤣

Hi! 1. Not at the moment 2. Christian Pop 3. No 4. Realistic fiction 5. Yes, a mini goldendoodle named Hazel! Thanks for the quiz!

Wow! When did you get the dog? I never knew you had one!(no offense)

Oh, none taken! 😊 My parents got her about 6 years ago. I was 7 at the time and we were living in Nevada, so yeah, ages ago! 😆

1. No 2. I like pop and rock music :) 3. Yeah I watched the first three movies, I like Han Solo 4. I like realistic fiction and sometimes fantasy 5. Yes, I have two dogs and a fish. Thank you for the quiz and have a great day as well! :)

My answers are: 1. No, unless you count contortion being a sport lol 2. All kinds! 3. Yes Rey, General Grievous, and Han Solo 4. Mystery, Horror/Thriller, Action Fiction, and Science Fiction. 5. A 16 year old Papillion named Yoshi

1. No. 2. The Hunger Games soundtrack and Avril Lavigne 3. No, but my friend says I look like Kylo Ren when I'm serious about something 😂😂😂😂😂 4. Dystopian, romance 5. We're getting a dog!!!!!! Thanks for the quiz!

You're getting a dog?! CONGRATS!! What breed? 🐶😄

No clue! I just know it will be hypoallergenic so my brother doesn't get sick!

Oh, cool! Maybe it's a goldendoodle because they're hypoallergenic. When my parents got the dog we have now, we got a mini goldendoodle because my dad and I are allergic to dogs. Anyways, I'm so happy for you!

IDK anything except that my brother gets to name it, and it will be hypoallergenic! I'm personally hoping for a dog that's NOT hairless!

Hey guys. I have not been seeing any results for the giveaways, and I'm super antsy. Is this delay happening to anyone else?

Yeah, there's a delay for me too but it usually takes about this amount of time. Hang in there! 😄

Hi, guys I've been listening to this song for HOURS omg its so good!!! Its called: I don't think that I like her by Charlie Puth well, lots of people use the song on insta so I just heard it...BUT ITS SO GOOD!!! :) Also, song recommendations, pls! :)

also do any of you guys like blackpink? Im a HUGE fan!!! If you know, you should know 'Flower by Jisoo' its so addicting!!! :) but its so good!

I've heard of them but I have never listened to them. I will check it out, thanks!!

I recommend the Greatest Showman soundtrack, it's SO good!! Also you should watch the movie too, it's EVEN better!! 🙃

OH MY GOODNESS!! The Greatest Showman is my FAV movie in the entire world!! 😂😂

Really?! So cool!! "Rewrite the Stars" and "The Other Side" are my fav songs...what about you? They all are REALLY good!!

Thanks for suggestion!! Here are a few of my absolute favs: 1. O'Lord by Lauren Daigle 2. Who You Say You Are by Britt Nicole 3. Unstoppable by Sia 4. Wait for You by Elliott Yamin 5. You Are the Reason by Calum Scott 6. Steady Me by Hollyn 7. The Other Side (from the Greatest Showman) 8. Rewrite the Stars (from the Greatest Showman) 9. Fast Car by Tracy Chapman 10. High Hopes by Panic! At the Disco.....I hope you like and if need more just ask! I absolutely love music, so it's fun! 🎶😃

Oh, I would also suggest "Mirrors" by Justin Timberlake

Really?! So cool! 😃 They are all so inspiring and have amazing voices!

I love that song!!! I recommend the songs Bunny and Fire Alarm by Sofie Dossi!

He was my bunny... I can't someone else knows Sofie Dossi!!!!

Turning Tables by Adele Whitby (Btw, this song is sad, but a couple weeks ago, I went to a music camp where you chose the song you want to sing in front of everybody's parents after the people who work there help You improve your singing voice, and I chose that song because it's so gooood!(also I chose one of if not the hardest songs in the group, and after I sung, they said I did great!).

I haven't heard that one! But as for song recommendations, Scream my Name by Tove Lo. There's a kind of blurred F-bomb so be warned!

I don't need no light to see you..... SHINE. It's your golden hour. oh oh oh. addicting lol
