Hey everyone! I haven't been active in a few weeks, and I'm trying to be more active! Random quiz: 1) Who are your role models? 2) Would you rather have only three days of school a week or every holiday off? 3) What is something you've always been afraid of? 4) How many languages do you speak? 5) If you could become someone else for a day, who would you become? 6) What is your craziest dream? My answers: 1) Dan Reynolds, Halsey, Gopi Shankar Madurai, Jackson Pollock 2) every holiday off because there are probably thousands of holidays out there 3) falling 4) two fluently, but I know a handful of words in two more languages 5) Honestly, no one. I'm happy being myself 6) I want to climb a mountain someday (I know it contrasts with my fear of falling, but still). Okay, that's it! Bye!

Don't you think it's so funny, when you complain about no recess at the end of fifth grade, but don't even notice in 6th grade?
