Why, hello there!

I am 18 years old
I currently live in Menlo Park, CA (40 min from SF) but will be leaving for college in the fall (either USC or Michigan)
I've always wanted to learn a language – I took latin in high school and while interesting, it isn't the most useful thing in the world
Strong
My mother
Jeans, a striped top, and ballet flats
Favorite: french fries / least favorite: tomatoes
Night owl
Book: Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison / movie: Father of the Bride / TV show: West Wing
The temperature in my house / car always has to be an even number

I'm 23 and live in Dallas but when to school a few hours south of here. Ummm I've always wanted to learn how to parallel park well?! But really, I would love to learn how to ice and decorate sugar cookies and make them look too good to eat! One word…passionate! And sometimes I get too passionate/intense about things and I think I freak people out! I'm inspired most by my best friends. One thing for the rest of my life!? This question stresses me out! Probably a Piko top with skinny jeans! Favorite? Mac & Cheese. Least favorite…anything involving mayonnaise. Night owl! Too many books to pick from…TV show would probably be Friends. Movie would be The Birdcage! I have SO many quirks! I must have a glass of water by my bed when I got to sleep, when I'm nervous I cross my fingers for good luck for a minute, and I hate when people touch the top of my head/roots of my hair…I'm scared they'll make my hair greasy looking! This was fun! I just love your blog and I am so inspired by you!

How fun! I may steal this idea for my own blog…

How old are you? 20s
Where do you live and/or where do you go to school? Los Angeles, but soon to be moving to Honolulu!
What's something that you've always wanted to learn? Basic astronomy!
If you had to pick one word to characterize yourself, what would that word be? Joyful.
Who in your life inspires you the most? My mother inspires me to seek out fun every, single day with intention and purpose, and my husband inspires me to work harder than the rest of the pack.
If you had to wear one thing for the rest of your life, what would you choose? Eeps! I'm going to say simple black knee-length stretchy shift dress with a U shaped neck and 3/4 sleeves. I can't think of a situation that this couldn't be made to work in.
Favorite & least favorite food? My favorite food changes all the time because I love to play in the kitchen, but right now it's spring farmer's market risotto. My least favorite doesn't change: milk. Weird, I know, but even the scent of it makes me gag.
Early bird or night owl? Night owl all the way!
Favorite book, movie, and TV show? The Great Gatsby, Silver Lining's Playbook, and the dearly departed Army Wives.
Do you have any weird "quirks"? Hummm. The milk thing is probably as quirky as I get. OH! And I hate to be tan. I like my skin to be as Victorian as possible, so I actively try to avoid getting a tan… Pretty much the opposite of what most women do.

Hi Carly!
1. I'm 18
2. I'm from Connecticut but I go to Miami University in Oxford, Ohio
3. I've always wanted to learn to speak French and play the piano- I speak Spanish now and used to play the violin, but I'd like to expand!
4. Intuitive
5. The people in my town. I'm from Sandy Hook and after the tragedy, my town came together and rose up stronger than ever.
6. Classic button down, jeans, ballet flats
7. Favorite food is ice cream, least favorite is sweet potatoes- I have sort of an issue with orange food in general for whatever reason!
8. Definitely a night owl!
9. Book: too many to choose! I love to read, always have 🙂
TV show: Gossip Girl- I went through a major headband phase a while ago thanks to Blair
Movie: Titanic
10. When I'm home, my bedroom door MUST be closed if I'm in my room. And my sister says I tend to tuck in the sides of my mouth when I smile? I still don't know what that means but I'll take it!

I read your blog every day and it's inspired me so much. Thanks for all that you do!

Hi Carly, I'm Audrey!

I'm 17 and I'm a senior at an international school in Beijing.

I've always wanted to learn how to speak French, Japanese, and Korean, and also how to take and edit photos well.

Recently, I've been "sleepy" but now that it's getting closer and closer to graduation, I'm feeling "bubbly!"

To be honest, bloggers inspire me so much; they go out and live their life, and then they go back home and share their experiences! My favorite blogs are Paris in Four Months, http://www.fernaly.com/, Milk Bubble Tea, Eat Love Merry, and yours of course haha.

If I had to wear one thing for the rest of my life, I would choose comfy jeans, a plain shirt, and maybe a pair of fuzzy socks (I'm one for comfort).

I love eating cheese, but I can't stomach eggplants.

I'm definitely a night owl, but on the rare nights I get enough sleep, I love waking up early!

My favorite book is Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls, my favorite movie is The Little Princess (1995), and my favorite TV shows are American Horror Story and Game of Thrones!

I feel like my whole life is one weird quirk, but hmm… uhh…. I copy a text 10 times just to make sure I actually copied it to my clipboard and then I paste it. And after that I type the word "and" and copy that to my clipboard so that whatever I copied before is replaced by "and" and this way I won't accidentally copy and paste something potentially embarrassing to someone 😛

Hellllo there!
I'm 18 years old and currently live/go to school in Cleveland (though my heart hasn't left Western New York). I feel like a lot of people want to be fluent in another language, and I can't help but share that desire! I'm attempting a double major and want Spanish to be my second. Other than a second language, I really want (and need) to learn how to cook. There's only so much pasta a girl can eat in college, and I think I've reached that limit in my first year.

Yikes, one word? I'd have to say zany. I feel like that fits my personality well, or I fit the "zany" mold, hah.

A bunch of people inspire me, even if I don't realize it. I'm inspired by the people I pass on the streets and the people in my classes. I see a lot of interesting people where I live and I can't help but thrive off of them.

If I had to wear one thing for the rest of my life, it'd have to be my chambray dress because that would mean no pants for the rest of my natural lifetime. Hallelujah.

This is going to be so lame, but my favorite food is probably toast, solely because it is one of the few things I can cook (?) myself. I also really enjoy the chicken nachos at my favorite restaurant. A food that I hate and will probably always hate is seafood in general. I just can't do it.

I'm that really awful combination of night owl and early bird. Needless to say, I don't get very much sleep.

My favorite book is a tie between Looking For Alaska and The Great Gatsby. My favorite television show is Gilmore Girls, by far. Moneyball is definitely my favorite movie.

Just about everything I do is a weird quirk, hah. In all seriousness, since moving into the dorm, I have to make my bed multiple times a day. I don't like one pillow to be out of place, which is odd because I never made my bed when I was living at home (not even exaggerating).

Hi, Carly!

1 & 2. I am eighteen years old and am currently a freshman at the University of Southern California (USC)! 🙂

3. I have always wanted to learn how to speak Arabic. As an International Relations Major, I want to learn Arabic in order to further learn more about the cultures of the Middle East. I am currently studying Mandarin, for my minor, but hope to pursue my interest in Arabic in the future.

4. Curious

5. My mother is definitely my biggest inspiration, because she always motivates me to try something new, even it if is completely foreign to us. For example, I am not Chinese, but she is the one that influenced me to take Mandarin, and now it's my favorite subject!

6. My pearl earrings!

7. My favorite food/guilty pleasure is gelato, and my least favorite food is tofu.

8. Early bird! I'm often up at 6:30 on weekdays so I can write articles for a student magazine I intern for.

9. My favorite books are On China by Henry Kissinger and A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving (highly recommended!), my favorite movie is Finding Nemo, and I'm obsessed with House of Cards!

10. I always have to make sure that my shoes, handbag, and belt are all matching. My father is actually the one that got me into it!

Thank you so much for your posts! I always enjoy reading them when I'm up early! 🙂

Hi Carly! This is such a fun idea.

-How old are you? I turned 22 in December

-Where do you live and/or where do you go to school? I live in South Dakota and I graduate from the University of South Dakota in May!

-What's something that you've always wanted to learn? I have always wanted to learn another language really well. I know some spanish but I want to know more, or learn French or Italian!

-If you had to pick one word to characterize yourself, what would that word be? Passionate. I am passionate about everything, passion is what tends to drive me and my emotions.

Who in your life inspires you the most? I will honestly say all the blogs I read daily inspire me the most. My favorite time of the day is waking up and reading what others have to say, I'm instantly inspired to write my own post.

If you had to wear one thing for the rest of your life, what would you choose? Either an Oscar De La Renta gown, Christian Louboutin pumps, or a Kate Spade getup. I am a sucker for these three:)

Favorite & least favorite food? Favorite is broccoli, least favorite is asparagus.

Early bird or night owl? NIght Owl 100% but I don't sleep in past 9:30.

Favorite book, movie, and TV show? Book: Fifty Shades of Grey Series (I know what you're thinking) Movie: Too Many, I am addicted to all movies! TV Show: Big Bang Theory, Drop Dead Diva, and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

Do you have any weird "quirks"? I am extremely organized and particular, to many people everything about me is a weird quirk because I love all things organized and clean…it is a problem.

Thanks for letting me share!! Come check out my blog sometime at http://taymeetsworld.blogspot.com. I love College Prepster, you are such an inspiration to me…thank you!

Taylor

Hi Carly!

I am 23 years old living in New Jersey. I graduated last year from NYU. I have always wanted to learn French since I want to visit Paris someday. If I had to pick one word to describe me, it would be weird. The good kind of weird. I might also describe myself as a nerd.

My mom is the person who inspires me the most. If I had to wear one thing for the rest of my life, it would be a purple lace dress I got from ASOS. My favorite food is anything with chocolate and my least favorite food is mushrooms. I am definitely a night owl which you can tell by the time stamp of this post.

I have many favorite books since I am big literature nerd. One book that I can think is Looking for Alaska by John Green. My favorite movie is Casablanca. My favorite TV shows are Doctor Who, Sherlock, and Firefly.

As far as "weird" quirks, I probably have a bunch of them. I am a huge pop culture aficionado. Also, board games can get very intense when I play, especially Monopoly.

Thanks so much for doing this!

Hey Carly! I love reading your blog and you were definitely one of the inspirations to start my own! Check it out!- http://sarakenziepowell.blogspot.fr/

My name is Sara Kenzie Powell and….

1. Age: I am 23.

2. Location: I currently live in Juan les Pins, France finishing up my Master's degree in Global Luxury Management from NC State University and SKEMA Business School. Juan les Pins is a tiny coastal town along the Mediterranean between Nice and Cannes (home of the infamous film festival in 2 months). Though home is Raleigh, NC.

3. Always wanted to learn: How to surf and paddleboard.

4. One word: Intense, all the good and bad connotations that come with it.

5. Inspiration: Tied between my parents. Dad for following his dreams no matter how long they took and they took roughly 20 years and Mom for making them happen. My style inspiration comes from Grace Kelly and Blair Eadie of Atlantic-Pacific.

6. Permanent Outfit: My favorite black flats from Brooks Brothers, simple pair of skinny jeans probably from Old Navy or J Crew. (maybe cuffed) and a classic black v-neck shirt preferably Everlane(potentially long sleeved). Simple, chic, and classic.

7. Favorite & least favorite food: Favorite food is boeuf bourguignon and my least favorite food is mustard greens.

8. Sleeping Habits: I am afraid I am a night owl but I want so desperately to be a early bird. However, I cannot function till I have at least a shot of espresso or 2 cups of coffee.

9. Favorites: My favorite book is Wuthering Heights, I read it every Christmas. Though Pride and Prejudice and anything Elizabeth Kostova writes or has written are amazing. I love movies but Inglorious Bastards and Under the Tuscan Sun stand out among the rest. I will always love How I Met Your Mother, dying a little because its ending, and currently Game Of Thrones has me hooked as well.

10. Quirks: I can't sleep with doors open, to the closet or bathroom or whatever. I have insomnia. I oscillate between OCD clean and a complete slob, there is no real in-between. And I can drink Diet Coke till the end of time.

Loved reading everyone elses' "blurbs"!

Hey! I am Bonnie, I just started my own blog due to the fact that I am studying abroad and am hoping to find ways to keep it going even after I come back. I love reading your posts and seeing the different recommendations you have. Here are my answers to the question so you can get to know me some more!

-How old are you? I am 20 years old, but feel a lot older due to the fact that my siblings are 8 and 10 years older.

-Where do you live and/or where do you go to school? I am from a town of 160 in Minnesota, I go to the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities for MIS, Nonprofit Mgmt, and International Business. However, I am currently studying abroad in Vienna, Austria for the semester.

-What's something that you've always wanted to learn? I have always wanted to start running. I hurt my knee in high school due to dancing ( I have been dancing for 15 years) so I am just waiting for that to heal up!

-If you had to pick one word to characterize yourself, what would that word be? Compassionate. I can get really emotional over anything. I love to see the look on someone's face after helping them.

-Who in your life inspires you the most? My older brothers. They both have amazing jobs, one lives in England, and they love me more than anyone other than my parents. They would do anything for me and they live life to the fullest.

-If you had to wear one thing for the rest of your life, what would you choose? I would wear my black skinny jeans and a loose grey t-shirt with my scarf from India. (the most comfortable outfit ever.)

-Favorite & least favorite food? Favorite food is tough…honestly I love pasta in general and peanut butter. My least favorite food is tuna.

-Early bird or night owl? I LOVE getting up in the morning at 6, but lately I am staying up till three so I have mixed feelings about this one!

-Favorite book, movie, and TV show? I love reading so favorite book is difficult but right now the top two have to be: "Gone Girl," by Gillian Flynn and "A House in the Sky," by Amanda Lindhout. My favorite movie right now is Frozen because I just can't get over the cuteness and the great music. For my favorite TV Show, New Girl and How I Met Your Mother have to tie. (SO sad today is the end of HIMYM)

-Do you have any weird "quirks"? I like being super crazy organized and I absolutely adore making lists. Like lists for everything possible.

-If you would check out my blog that would be great! My blog is: http://bslifetravels.wordpress.com/

Hi Carly! I've been reading your blog since I was in high school and have been a follower since last year:

1) I'm 19 years old, but I am turning 20 in June.
2) I live in Coral Gables, Florida because I go to the University of Miami!
3) I've always wanted to learn how to do a backhand spring.
4) I tend to think I'm pretty quirky.
5) I am inspired by both of my parents who have always helped me reach my goals and encourage my success.
6) Hands down I would wear anything Lilly Pulitzer for the rest of my life.
7) My favorite food is quesadillas, but I am not a red meat eater.
8) Definitely an early bird. As soon as I finish this post, I am going to the gym!
9) I definitely don't read as much as I should, but I love watching CSI: Miami and my current favorite movie is Frozen.
10) I love going to grocery stores and farmers markets a little too much, and I have a crazy obsession with Trader Joes.

How old are you? 20
Where do you live and/or where do you go to school? I live in Charleston, SC and go to the College of Charleston in downtown Charleston, SC!
What's something that you've always wanted to learn? program computers and learn to design a website.
If you had to pick one word to characterize yourself, what would that word be? Creative
Who in your life inspires you the most? My mom, she does it all. Literally. She always has quality time for me and she does what she loves. I can only hope I can follow my dreams for what I want to do with my life.
If you had to wear one thing for the rest of your life, what would you choose? Kate Spade heels, my favorite Seven skinny jeans, and a classic white top with my favorite gold jewelry.
Favorite & least favorite food? Does coffee count as food? Okay if not, definitely
Early bird or night owl? Both. During the week I'm an early bird, everything seems more inspiring in the morning time, plus I get so much done before 11am. On the weekend though I don't have a problem staying up past 1am.
Favorite book, movie, and TV show? Book: Pride & Prejudice, Movie: a tie between The Notebook (I know it sounds cheesy but when you live in the city it was filmed in it kind of has a new meaning.), Sabrina (the old one with Audrey Hepburn) TV show: a tie between Gossip Girl and Friends.
Do you have any weird "quirks"? I LOVE being in the art studio and painting. It's such a stress reliever. Also, living in such an old and historic city has made me become such a history freak. I live in a house that was built in 1838 and I literally fantasize that people lived here in the past and I think that were involved in the Revolutionary War and/or the Civil War. Okay yeah, sorry that might have been a tad weird but it happens.
… anything else you feel like sharing!

Lastly, come to Charleston sometime Carly! Hopefully I will get the pleasure of meeting you one day! Just wanted to let you know how much I've loved following your blog the past 2-3 years. I feel like so many of the things you've addressed have really helped me be more open and passionate in my life. Best wishes!
-Emily Reyna

I am an almost 22 (tomorrow! deep!) year old senior in college studying Athletic training.
I am from Vermont and go to a tiny state school in VT as well.
I've always wanted to become fluent in French. I've traveled many places ski racing and have been very exposed to many languages but I would love to become fluent in French.
If I had to pick one word to describe myself it would be driven.
My mother inspires me. She works very hard for my sister and I and set an exemplary example for my sister and I.

Hiya!
I'm 18, and a Telecommunications major at the University of Florida, Go Gators (;
I've always wanted to learn to speak Portuguese so I can communicate with one of my grandmas better and i want to learn how to play the guitar. Turns out I am no good at anything musically inclined, so Portuguese it is.
I would call myself Honest, people always say that is they want the cold hard truth they can come to me, but I am a nice honest person. If that makes any sense…
My dad inspires me the most, he is always working so hard to make sure we have the opportunities he didn't have.
If I had to wear one thing for the rest of my life it would be leggings and one of my dads old t-shirts. Who needs pants when you have leggings (:

I am most definitely a night owl.
Favorite Book: To Kill a Mockingbird, it's one of the few books I reread every year.
Favorite Movie: It's a tie between The Dark Knight, and Fried Green Tomatoes (My movie tastes are apparently very bipolar)

My roommate finds it weird that I hate cats, and dip bananas and strawberries in sugar for a snack somedays. I am also a planner, I need to know all the details way ahead, then keep checking to make sure nothings changed daily.
Thank you for having such a great blog to take my mind off school somedays!

Hi Carly!

My name is Lizzie. I'm 21 and I'm from New York, although I am currently finishing up my last semester of school in Boston. I'm looking to move home to New York post-grad, and when I exhaust all career options in the big, bad world of TV production, make that exodus to LA.
I've always wanted to learn how to knit something other than a rectangle (patterns are hard!??).
If I could pick one word to characterize myself, it would be "intuitive." That's not particularly exciting, but it's true…
The person in my life that inspires me the most is my friend Wynn; she's 2 years older than me and will stop at nothing to accomplish her goals. Not to mention, she has my dream job!
If I had to wear one thing for the rest of my life, it would probably be a combination of chambray, stripes, leggings and a really comfy pair of sandals (weather permitting!)
Favorite food: sushi. No brainer. Least favorite: anything involving peppers and/or cilantro. Blech.
I'm definitely an early bird… staying up too late stresses me out!
Favorite book: the Harry Potter series. Again, no brainer. Movie: This is SUPER lame, but I can't get enough of Anchorman. Ever. TV Show: 30 Rock, Parks and Rec, The Office, currently loving The Mindy Project…
Weird quirks? I used to be a competitive tap dancer!

Hey there, I'm Abigail Ricketts!
Been following your blog for a year now and I'm 20. I was born and raised in Newfoundland, Canada.
I go to school at Memorial University where I hope to start a Business Degree in the fall.
I've always wanted to learn how to draw… I'm a terrible artist.
Motherly would be the one characteristic that comes to mind… Not always fun but constantly looking out for my friends.
My nan is my bestfriend, my biggest fan and the most inspirational women in my life.
Amazingly cute shoes! I love buying funky and different foot wear.
Favorite food would be pizza and least favorite would be cod.
Neither, haha, I am constantly tired from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to sleep. Its horrible.
Book: Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin. Movie: Les Mis, or any musical. TV Show: Grey's Anatomy.
If you ask my boyfriend I myself am a "quirk".
I would just like to say that I am super jealous of you living in New York, I've been there three times and its my place. It's the place that I have in my head, if I just lived there life would be amazing and everything would fall into place. So thank you

Hey Carly!
I'm 18 years old and I go to LSU in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
I've always wanted to learn to fluently speak a language or two.
If I had to pick one word to describe me, it would probably be "outspoken".
My parents definitely inspire me the most.
My favorite food is probably anything Mexican, and my least favorite is spaghetti.
I'm definitely a night owl.
Favorite book: The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern, I HIGHLY recommend it!
Favorite movie: Elizabethtown
Favorite TV show: I watch SO many; my favorite right now is probably Veronica Mars!
It's so nice of you to want to get to know your readers! I love reading your blog!

Hi Carly!
I'm 20 and I am a senior at MSU in East Lansing, MI, majoring in Graphic Design. I've always wanted to learn how to ice skate! I would describe myself as caring. The person who inspires me most is my mom. She is my best friend and she is the greatest! If I had to wear one thing for the rest of my life, it would be a button down shirt, jeans, and flats. My favorite food is anything that involves chocolate and my least favorite food is tomatoes. I am a night owl for sure! I don't think I have a favorite book, but I am currently reading "An Abundance of Katherines" by John Green. My favorite movie is either "It's Complicated" or "Midnight in Paris." My favorite TV show is, hands down, Gilmore Girls. I will be interning at Tory Burch in NYC this summer as a graphic design intern, so I would love to run into you sometime in the city 🙂

I love this idea!

*I'm 24!
*I can't believe I graduated from UNC (almost) two years ago but I stuck around the area (Durham, NC) working.
*As far as something I always wanted to learn it would probably be finance/actually sticking to a budget for a full year. It's my struggle but I am trying.
*My one word will probably be "bookworm" since I think everyone knows me as the girl who always has at least one book on me.
*My mom will always be my inspiration. She is just someone who loves unconditionally, is always looking to help/volunteer her time, raised 4 kids but knows who she is, and is also always reading/learning. She is pretty fantastic.
*If I only had one thing to wear I think it would have to be a little black dress. I mean it would work in almost every situation: fancy, casual, work. Other than that I would say PJs if they were socially acceptable to wear 24/7.
*Favorite food: My mom's Beef Stroganoff (It is a tomato cream sauce and not a gravy) Least favorite food: cooked vegetables
*Night Owl. I am slowly converting to an early bird with my work schedule but if I could choose I would always stay up reading until 2am and sleeping until 11am.
*Favorite Book: Too many to count. Movie: Pride and Prejudice (2005) TV Show: Right now I am loving House of Cards & Reign
*Weird Quirks: Hmmm….I think a lot of my quirks are food related. I really do not want my food to touch on the plate. I zone it all.

I hope you have a lovely week!

Hi Carly!

I am 24 years old and I live in center city Philadelphia. I went to Tulane University in New Orleans, LA. I've always wanted to learn how to sing, but I think I'm beyond help! I always think of myself as multi-faceted. I have all kinds of likes and dislikes, but some of them are seemingly contradictory! I am inspired by several woman business leaders, I love learning about a woman that takes charge! I would wear flowy paints and a tank top because its honestly the most comfortable outfit known to man. I love mashed potatoes and HATE diet coke. I am a night owl, but I do get up early for work. I love A Clockwork Orange, Gilmore Girls, and Pulp Fiction! And I have way too many weird quirks, like hating when fonts change sizes in spreadsheets, to be a little obsessed with people using coasters in my apartment.

1. 24, but I feel 35 sometimes

3. How to speak fluent Swahili. Odd, i know!

4.Nervous wreck! Seriously, at any given time I'm thinking about 46 different things.

5. Myself, honestly. I look at what I've overcome and it inspires me to keep going.

6. A monogrammed necklace my favorite elementary school teacher that helped me immensely growing up gave me for my college graduation present.

7. SALSA! I looooove salsa.

8. Night owl, mornings are not my friend.

9. To Kill A Mockingbird, Anything with Will Ferrell & How I Met Your Mother

10. I CANNOT under any circumstance sleep in a room with the closet door open! Absolutely not. I'm also allergic (read: intolerance but allergy is easier to explain to most) to pork and red meat (basically anything with four legs!) which is fairly rare.

Hi, Carly! What a fun idea! My name is Mavi and here it goes:

How old are you?
I'm 19 years old

Where do you live and/or where do you go to school?
I live in Buenos Aires, and go to university and teacher training college here.

What's something that you've always wanted to learn?
I've always wanted to learn as many languages as possible.

If you had to pick one word to characterize yourself, what would that word be?
My word would be perfectionist, although I do try to work on that.

Who in your life inspires you the most?
In a way, everyone who is genuinely happy with the life they have, inspires me. I think that those are the ones who have followed their own path (as cheesy as it sounds), and that's something to admire.

If you had to wear one thing for the rest of your life, what would you choose?
A good pair of jeans. You just can't go wrong with that.

Favorite & least favorite food?
My favorite food is salmon, in a any way. I'm not picky with food, so I can't really think of a least favorite food.

Early bird or night owl?
Early bird.

Favorite book, movie, and TV show?
My favorite book changes all the time. I can't really choose. My favorite movie is You've got mail and my favorite TV show is Gilmore Girls (I know, old).

Do you have any weird "quirks"?
I cannot go to bed without showering first, and I cannot get out of my house in morning without making my bed first.

Hey Carly, I'm Savarna and I'm 15 years old 🙂

I live in Virginia and I go to a super small private school that has less than 530 people!

I've always wanted to learn to speak Nepali fluently. My parents are from their, and every time we visit its difficult for me to communicate with everyone!

If I chose one word to characterize myself it would probably be open-minded. I love hearing about different people and different places, and not being judgmental truly lets you understand new things.

If I had to honestly say who inspires me the most, it would be Taylor Swift. I have loved her since 2006, and she inspires me to be fearless. She is the most confident and strong woman I know, and I look up to her immensely.

If I could choose one thing to wear for the rest of my life it would be a pair of dark skinnies and white oxford. Casual, but still chic 🙂

Favorite food would probably be Thanksgiving food or Thai food! Both are super different from each other but I love both. Least favorite are mushrooms, the texture is too weird!

Definitely a night owl, I'm so jealous of early birds!

Favorite book is currently The Five People You Meet in Heaven, it's so good. Movie will always be She's the Man. TV show is a tie between Gossip Girl, Ugly Betty, and Sherlock. All different from each other but they're all soo good.

Quirks: I can't stand Oreos, I don't know why! Also I can't brush my teeth without a hand on my hip, it's weird I know!

1. I’m 25 years old

2. I currently live in Boston (I actually met you briefly at the Brooks Brothers tend at the Head of the Charles!)

3. I have always wanted to learn to bake macaroons.

4. I am not sure I can get it down to one word, but 2 is close right? “Untraditionally classic”

5. My mother

6. The gold bracelet my grandmother gave me when I turned 25 – it was given to her by her parents on her 25th birthday

7. Favorite food is probably pasta. I don’t think I have a least favorite 

8. Early Bird – I love mornings, reading over coffee and breakfast

9. Book: Tale of Two Cities; Movie: Top Gun; TV Show: right now, Mindy Project and Scandal

10. I really want a mini pig

What's something that you've always wanted to learn? How to mix music (mashups are the best!)
If you had to pick one word to characterize yourself, what would that word be? Witty
Who in your life inspires you the most? Those people that are always able to be positive, even during tough times
If you had to wear one thing for the rest of your life, what would you choose? Tory Burch Reva flats (I have ten pairs and counting…oops!)
Favorite & least favorite food? Chocolate pudding/anything pickled (vinegar makes me cringe)
Early bird or night owl? Early bird
Favorite book, movie, and TV show? Catcher in the Rye, The Sandlot (child a heart, what can I say?), True Detective or Girls (depending on my mood)

Ambitious, I truly work every day to "live my dreams"

Who in your life inspires you the most?
My father

If you had to wear one thing for the rest of your life, what would you choose?
Definitely, a sundress (as long as the weather wasn't an issue)

Least favorite: Pesto

Early bird or night owl?
Early bird all the way

Favorite book, movie, and TV show?
Book: Harry Potter Series (classic)

Love your Blog!

Hi Carly 🙂
So my name is Ann-Kristine and we're the same age – I'm turning 25 on september 3rd. I live in Denmark in the suburbs of Copenhagen, where I attend the Royal Library School. I study information and library science there.
I've always wanted to learn French – it sounds much better than Danish and German.A word to describe me is pretty hard – I would probably say quirky. My grandmother inspires me a lot – she's had an interesting life and she's still living by herself even though she's 93 years old. I love bow ties and polka dots so it would probably be a bow tie with polka dots on it – black and white. I love the Danish kind of rice pudding – we serve it hot and topped with a spoonful of butter and sugar with lots of cinnamon. I hate liver – the taste and the looks of it. I'm a night owl, but I'd love to turn it around and go to bed before midnight every day. I love books so it's hard to choose a favourite, but I loved "The Notebook". Favourite movie is probably " Funny Face" – Audrey Hepburn is fantastic in that movie. I'm a gleek 🙂 A special "quirk" is probably that I remember the strangest things about people, which tends to freak them out a bit. If you've got time, you should have a look at my blog – it's about travelling, books and pins 🙂

1. I am 20 years old
2. I grew up in Detroit, go to school at Ball State University in Muncie Indiana and plan to move to Boston after graduation to pursue a career in Landscape Architecture.
3. I have always wanted to take a calligraphy class! So pretty!!
4. Intense/Passionate
5. My father. His positive outlook and analytical tendencies have taught me so much about how I want to live my life.
6. Leggings, an oversized knit sweater and boots. I LOVE winter!
7. Anything cheesy! (Mac and cheese, Pizza, Nachos, etc.)
8. Early bird, for sure!
9. A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams, Good Will Hunting and "The Following"/"Law and Order: SVU"
10. Does perfectionism count? I am also OBSESSED with makeup and makeup artistry.

I'm 18 years old
I currently live in San Francisco, but I'll be going to Cornell in Ithaca this fall.
I've always always wanted to learn how to play the piano. And the ukelele. I can't sing to save my life, but I think I can redeem myself with some instrumental skills.
One word to characterize me is motivated
I'm going to pull a Matthew McConahegh and say I inspire myself (my future, at least)
Rain boots. Gotta love em
Favorite food- popcorn
Least favorite food- ketchup
I can never sleep, so an early bird and a night owl!
My favorite book is the elegance of the hedgehog by Muriel Barbary. I can't recommended it enough! It was originally written in French and translated into English
I can hold a handstand for hours and have a peculiar talent for balancing odd objects on my head

1. 18
2. I'm from Upstate New York, but I am a freshman at Marist College in Poughkeepsie, NY
3. I've always wanted to learn how to surf. Unfortunately, fresh bodies of water that are frozen over much of the year are not idea places to learn such a sport.
4. Disciplined
5. My parents. They truly are the most remarkable people I know.
6. As weird as it sounds, soccer cleats. I love the way they feel and I'd always be ready for a pick up game!
7. Generally, my mom's Cuban food is my favorite. She makes the best black beans and rice, tostones, and empanadas. But I can't stand mushrooms. Just the smell of them disgusts me.
8. Night owl, although I'll be up and ready to go at any time of the day if something needs to get done.
9. "White Christmas" is my favorite movie. I watch it year round because I don't really count it as a Christmas movie. My favorite book is "The Pillars of the Earth" by Ken Follett. I have a few favorite TV shows, even though I do not watch TV often: "Once Upon A Time" because I love a good fairytale, "Hawaii Five-O" and "The Mentalist" because my dad and I always watch them together, "Chopped" because my younger sister and I bond over trying not to eat more food while watching the delectably unique dishes created on this show, and "Drake & Josh" because that show is one of the few that still makes me laugh out loud.
10. I have an old soul–some of my favorite movies and songs were made long before I was born, and I've been speaking like an adult since I was in kindergarten. But I'm also incredibly childish–I am obsessed with all things Disney, and I still fall asleep on my mom's lap at restaurants. Basically, everything about me is a weird "quirk."
11. I have pale skin, green eyes, red hair, and freckles…and I'm Cuban. I am also one of six kids.

triplex3threat.blogspot.com

1: 22 years old
2: currently attend college in Boston, MA- I am almost done with my junior year

6: a solid t-shirt, jeans, and either sneakers or boat shoes

8: early bird- I'm used to waking up early for coxing my crew
9:Movie: Brave. all my friends say that princess Merida looks/acts just like me. Book:The Other Boleyn Girl- Phillippa Gregory TV: Game of Thrones
10: Welllllll… I'm extremely competitive and easily embarrassed. I love folk songs but can't carry a tune to save my life!

Cool idea, it already seems like a very engaging post 🙂
1. I am 22 years old and I'm in my third year of McGill University in Montreal, Canada (which is also the city in which I was born and raised)

2. I've always wanted to learn Spanish. I was raised bilingually in english and french so I think if I learn spanish as well I'll be set.

3. Curious.
4. One of my mentors, a teacher-turned-friend. He seems to have found the perfect balance between academia and making a career from doing something he loves.
5. Loose-fitted tee-shirt, dark-wash skinny jeans and keds
6. Favourite food: I'll be totally honest, it's pizza
Least favourite: Tuna.. ew
7. Early bird, but I have been known to stay up until 7am at parties….
8. Harry Potter (forever!), Into the Wild, LOST.
9. I have a memory like a filing cabinet for events, names and faces. I rarely, if ever, forget those things.
11. I'm studying biology at a rigorously academic university but if I could realistically have any career I wanted I would pursue my art.

This is fun!

I'm Zoe, 22 years old. I live in Shreveport Louisiana and I go to Centenary College, but I am from Houston, TX. I've always wanted to learn more about Human Sexuality, and luckily I'm getting to take a class on it now, my last semester in College! One word I would pick to characterize myself is "passionate". The person in my life that inspires me the most is my boss, because she is so organized and smart. Even though she can be a little silly sometimes, she always gets things done and is very professional. If I had to wear one thing for the rest of my life, it would be a big flannel shirt, leggings, and combat boots (which is odd, because I LOVE dressing up…that outfit is just so comfy, though)! My favorite food is steak. My least favorite food is most vegetables. I would say I'm both an early bird and a night owl, but afternoons make me sleepy. My favorite book is Gone With the Wind. My favorite movie is Grease (I've seen it over 100 times, no lie). My favorite TV show is Friends. I don't think I have any particular weird quirks, but I can just be kind of a weird person in general sometimes…and I'm okay with it.

I also LOVE your blog! I read it every day!

Hi Carly! As a long time reader of your AMAZING blog, I couldn't resist getting the chance to "meet" you hah!

I am sixteen years old, but so excited to be 17 so I can sing Dancing Queen by Abba all year long!

I live in the great Cincinnati Ohio and am I sophomore in high school!

I've always wanted to learn how to swing a golf club! Even though I consider myself to be a pretty amazing putt putter( meaning I only hit it into the water 3 or 4 times a game 😉

One word I would use to describe myself would be optimistic!

My mom definitely inspires me the most in my life!

Hoot! Hoot! I am a night owl. If you ever need a friend to chat with at midnight, I am your gal

My favorite book is To Kill a Mockingbird. My principal reinacted the court scene at our grade school, and I still giggle when I read it just thinking about that ha! My F A V O R I T E show is the Office, and my favorite movie is Dear John. I am a sucker for cheesy movies!

Hmm, weird quirks…. oh! I eat my lunch in the same order(sandwich, chip, sweet, fruit) every. single. day

XOXO

Hi Carly! Been reading your blog since 2009!

My name is Hannah. I'm 25 years old and I live in Charlotte, NC (born and raised).

I've always wanted to learn how to paint, sculpt, make jewelry, craft etc… I just don't have the knack for it! Even at those wine and design events, my artwork looks like a 5 year olds!

If I had to pick one word to characterize myself, it would be PERSEVERING. I learned that word in kindergarten and it has always stuck with me. Failing at some things is inevitable, but I definitely just try to "keep on keeping on" no matter what.

My mom inspires me the most. She's my best friend. She's been in non-profit/charity work for almost 40 years, and her passion for helping others is so inspiring.

If I had to wear one thing for the rest of my life, it would be my cowboy boots. Everyone begs me to retire them, but I won't!

My favorite food is Peanut M&M's. I eat them almost every day. I really, really hate olives. They make me gag.

I'm a night owl because of my work and school schedule, but I'd be an early bird if I had the choice.

Harry Potter books are always be the best to go back to and read over and over. My favorite movie is Pride & Prejudice. My favorite TV show is SHERLOCK!

My "quirk"… hmm…. Well, my friends have always called me the quirky one! I don't take it as an insult. Theres a quote I love by Judy Garland- "Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else." I'll take being called quirky as long as I stay true to myself!

I'm fourteen, but turning fifteen this April!
I live in El Salvador and go to school here, but ideally, I'd love to study in the UK.
Calligraphy has always been an interesting technique to try! The letters are just so beautiful.
Creative, I'm interested in any of the arts. Currently my elective is Graphic/Digital design at school and I plan to study that in college, alongside Art History.
Who inspires me the most- I guess my "big sister", Ariana, whom I've known since my mother tutored her in seventh grade. She's overcome many challenges in her life and is now attending the Boston Institute of Art, which is amazing.
High waisted shorts. I got my first pair on Saturday and they're amazing.
A vegan jar, aka smoothie and oatmeal and anything I can put in there, and ugh, I hate the taste of wine; that counts as food right?
Early bird all the way. I clocked in at ten this past new year's.
Fave book, The Twenty One Balloons, favorite movie, Amélie or Bye Bye Birdie, and TV Show, Doctor Who.
I absolutely have to have everything properly organized before starting any task. My browser tabs, open programs. music, glass of water, pen, action plan, all of that has to be done before I can focus,

1. I am 19 years old
2. I currently go to Boston College
3. I have always wanted to learn photography. Like not just simply taking pictures on iPhones and such but real time photography.
4. Independent.
5. I think my sister inspires me the most because she is not afraid to go on crazy adventures, speak her mind, and try new things which is kind of the opposite of me. I think her dedication and motivation is something that I will always strive towards.
6. My LuluLemon leggings… yikes I know leggings but they are comfy and can literally be worn with everything!
7. Favorite food is any form of pasta and least favorite food is pickles.
8. I am definitely a night owl but once I wake up early I love it!
9. Favorite book is The Things They Carried! I highly recommend it. And my favorite movie is Center Stage also recommend watching this classic. Favorite TV is probably The Vampire Diaries but I LOVE TV like no other so there are a lot.
10. I don’t know if you can call this a quirk but I have an odd obsession with television and watch a crazy amount. It’s because once I start a series I cannot stop it because I have to know what happens to all the characters because I become easily attached to them.

Loved this<3
Annie
A College Confession

… anything else you feel like sharing!

Hey, Carly!! 🙂 This is uber exciting (why yes, I did just say uber!!) because we're so used to reading about you and now you get to read a little about us… #plottwist.

I'm 20 years old and originally from NY (so I love reading about all of your adventures in the mother land hahaha!) but I live in a shoreline town in CT now. I go to Connecticut College, one of the NESCAC liberal arts colleges, and I'm an English major (I absolutely love creative writing and reading as many books as humanly possible!)

I've always wanted to learn how to worry less…. -____- if only *sigh* hahaha! but I think learning French would be lovely. I'm taking Italian now which I'm literally obsessed with!

I'm really passionate about everything that I do. I always give 150% or else I'd feel guilty!

My grandma inspires me the most for her fabulous fashion sense *insert handflip here*, her kind heart, and her amazing story telling skills.

I have a pair of white Superga sneakers that I am -literally- in love with. Also, my boyfriend lent me a pair of his cozy sweatpants… yeah, he's never getting those back…! :p

Is Nutella a food!?! Hahaha okay fine, I always order Caesar salads at restaurants! My least favorite food is anything made of animal because I'm a vegetarian (I had a bad experience with chicken in high school… let us just say that it was practically still clucking *shivers*).

In theory, I'm definitely a morning person but being in college usually forces a girl to become a night owl against her will…

My all-time favorite book is The Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger.
My favorite movie is a three-way tie between Black Swan and Clueless and The Great Gatsby.
My favorite television show is House Hunters (#guiltypleasures), especially House Hunters International oh my goshhhh. Revenge is amazing, too! Although in general I barely ever watch television…is it bad that I wish I watched more shows!?

Hmmm… as far as weird quirks go: I can't sleep with socks on unless they're fuzzy socks, I refuse to eat raw broccoli that's served as salad bars (I think it should be cooked!!), and I blog for three clubs on my campus as well as my own personal blog, which is basically just about my college life and the things and people I love (I started mine for basically the same reasons you started yours). If you ever find yourself waiting in an elevator or in line at Starbucks with some time to kill, my personal blog is http://followthepinkbrickroad.weebly.com . Under the "FAQ" page you may or may not be listed as my favorite blogger with a link to your blog…hahaha! 🙂

Just as a side note, my fave thing about your blog is that you always seem so down-to-earth, which I think is so important and admirable. A lot of people might let their fame get to their head, but you always stay true to your heart which helps you to be so successful for the long-term, rather than just a "she's-popular-for-the-moment" sort of thing. You clearly affect so many lives and while that comes with a lot of pressure, you obviously needn't worry because you're inspiring and helping so many people out there. My mornings wouldn't be the same without waking up each day and reading your blog! You go, girlie!!

I give you major props if you read all of these! I was just looking at where people were from and I couldn't even make it half way through! Way to be!

Love this idea!

1. I'm 21.

Pink Champagne Problems

Where do you live and/or where do you go to school?
I'm a Texas girl born & raised…and I go to Texas A&M University! (WHOOP!)

What's something that you've always wanted to learn?
I'm horrible when it comes to styling my hair. I can't french braid or do any of those cute "easy" up-dos found on Pinterest…so I really want to learn to do my hair before I have to enter the workforce in a plain ponytail!

If you had to pick one word to characterize yourself, what would that word be?
I'm very loyal.

Who in your life inspires you the most?
My mom inspires me more than anyone.

I would wear those soft maxi skirts that come in a variety of different colors — they're the equivalent to yoga pants but they're a LITTLE more dressed up (;

Favorite & least favorite food?
My favorite food would have to be sushi, and my least favorite would have to be avocados since I'm allergic.

Early bird or night owl?
NIGHT OWL for sure

Favorite book, movie, and TV show?
My favorite books have to be the Harry Potter series.
My favorite movies have to be the Harry Potter series as well (even though I do like the books more…)
My favorite TV shows have to be: Mad Men, Grey's Anatomy, Pretty Little Liars (I know, I know) and Friends!

Do you have any weird "quirks"?
I don't know if it's a quirk, but I really love baking. Baking cupcakes, scones, cakes, cookies, ANYTHING really calms me down and I love testing and trying to recipes I've come up with.

I really, really love your blog! You've gotten me through a lot more than you know just by your posts! College Prepster has really kept me sane through college, and I don't see that changing from now until I graduate in FIVE (!!!!) short weeks! /:

Hopefully you have the chance to read this!
I'm 21, I currently live in Toronto, ON and I go to the University of Toronto! I have always wanted to learn how to make really authentic Dim Sum (a type of Chinese food). When I stop to look at my life thus far, I would say I am inquisitive. Sheryl Sandberg inspires me the most, reading her book reminded that I can accomplish anything that I set my mind to! I would choose to wear a lovely cap sleeve, black, a-line dress. It's comfy and it works for every season (a huge plus in Canada!). My favourite food is ice cream, and I hate pickled herring. I am definitely a night owl! My favourite book is "The Fault in Our Stars" currently, and HP indefinitely. I can't decide between Gone with The Wind or Breakfast at Tiffany's. They suit my different moods! I am a giant nerd? And super tall? Honestly my love for LOTR and all things fandom can edge on the obsessive! I love fashion, the blend of comfort and sophistication is something that I consistently strive for!

Anyways thank you for writing this amazing blog! I read it everyday, and I can't wait to read more from you!

Hi Carly! I LOVE filling in little surveys like this – when I was at school, my friends and I were always doing little personality quizzes and surveys so this takes me back a little while…

I’m 21 (22 in a month – at what age does it stop being ok to count down to your birthday?).

I live in Berlin right now because I’m doing a year abroad here, but my home uni is the University of Oxford, where I study (surprisingly) German and Linguistics.

I’ve always wanted to learn rock climbing – or any outdoorsy sport really – but I’m too timid to try by myself since I’m not very sporty!

Describing yourself in one word is a hard one, but I’m going to go for “curious”. It’s got that nice ambiguity – meaning both “inquisitive” and “odd” at the same time.

Lately I’ve been really inspired by Chris Hadfield, the astronaut, whose positive attitude is literally out of this world. He is grounded but playful, intelligent but unpretentious, and dedicated to achieving his dreams. Here’s his short video “How to become the person you want to be”: http://dft.ba/-8pS1

The outfit which would take me through life is brogues, high waisted skinny jeans, a checked button-up shirt, and sparkly earrings to make it girly.

Favourite food: anything Mexican. Least favourite food: foie gras. Artificially fattened duck liver paste? No thanks.

I’m an early bird in training. I get all my ideas late at night, but aspire to capitalise on every second of daylight.

Favourite fiction book is The Bone People by Keri Hume and favourite non-fiction is Waking Up in Iceland by Paul Sullivan; favourite movie is Shrek; favourite TV show ever is impossible. Maybe The West Wing. Or Scrubs, Gilmore Girls, Parks & Recreation, Community, Being Erica, Black Books, In Therapy or MASH.

I’m full of quirks (aren’t we all?). I love Iceland – a lot. Also, I have a really high tolerance for touching hot things; my dad calls me Asbestos Fingers.

This was so fun! If you'd like to check out my blog (about travelling and studying) it's at hifionapotter.blosgpot.com 🙂 But even if you don't, this whole thing has made my somewhat boring morning answering e-mails and doing laundry much more chirpy.

Hi Carly! 🙂

How old are you? – 21

Where do you live and/or where do you go to school? – I live in Wisconsin and go to UW-Madison! Go Badgers!!

What's something that you've always wanted to learn? – Probably how to play guitar!

If you had to pick one word to characterize yourself, what would that word be? -bubbly

Who in your life inspires you the most? – my mom, dad, and sister. My parents both work for their own company that my dad started, and my sister is in medical school, so they all truly inspire me to work hard!

If you had to wear one thing for the rest of your life, what would you choose? – probably my blue oxford and dark wash skinny jeans! Wouldn't want to pick something I'd get sick of, right?

Favorite & least favorite food? – favorite is probably pizza (guilty) & least favorite would have to be mushrooms

Early bird or night owl? – early bird!

Favorite book, movie, and TV show? – As far as books go, I just finished rereading The Fault In Our Stars and am quite literally OBSESSED. I think the world needs to read it. My favorite movie is probably Breakfast Club, but I have to admit that I don't see as many movies as I would like to. My favorite TV shows are Parks and Rec, Gilmore Girls, and Gossip Girl 🙂

Do you have any weird "quirks"? – I don't know if this is really considered a quirk or just a girl thing…but I get super anxious if my nails are unpolished and/or chipped. Like it will distract me from doing anything productive until I fix them.

Love starting my day with your blog, Carly! Keep up all of your amazing work, and good luck with that hand modeling 😉

-Liz

How old are you? 28

Where do you live and/or where do you go to school? Lexington, KY

What's something that you've always wanted to learn? I would love to learn Italian! Or paint!

If you had to pick one word to characterize yourself, what would that word be? Creative!

Who in your life inspires you the most? My grandmother. She was kind, she was considerate, she was funny and she was wise.

If you had to wear one thing for the rest of your life, what would you choose? My wedding rings!

Favorite & least favorite food? Black olives are my favorite, anchovies are my least favorite.

Early bird or night owl? Early bird. Sunrises are the best.

Favorite book, movie, and TV show? Home by Julie Andrews, Breakfast at Tiffany's and Gilmore Girls.

Do you have any weird "quirks"? I am so, so OCD!

… anything else you feel like sharing! I'm a serial wanderluster!

Hi Carly, We met in DC (so, so, so much fun!) Though, you met tons of people that day so I thought I would introduce myself again. I am 19 years old, and am a college sophomore at American University near Georgetown! I have really always wanted to be fluent in a second language, preferably French, which is something I am working on, but I am definitely still working on it! For one word, I am going to pick a hyphenated word: I am a perfectionist-extrovert. Honestly, that is the best description of who I am! My parents really inspire me, but I recently connected with a new mentor who just understands where I am in my life and career who gives such sage wisdom that I honestly appreciate everything she has done and is doing for me. I own this perfectly worn in pair of aqua-ish/ green corduroys. If they can stay in this condition, I would wear them every single day. My all-time favorite food is chicken and waffles. I have no idea where I first tried it, but anytime it's on the menu, I have to order it. I also really like breakfast tacos, but what native(or not) Texan doesn't? I really dislike cherries, though, like can't even stand the smell dislike them. Okay, the book question is difficult because I love so many. I am currently trying to get through Goldfinch which I have been reading for a solid 6 months now, but school gets in the way of me completing it. I really love Tuesday's with Morrie. It's the only book I feel that I can read over and over again especially in times of sadness or grief. I always turn to it. My current favorite TV show is My Mad Fat Diary (EVERYONE SHOULD WATCH IT). I think it's the first TV show that is applicable to every person. It touches on so many common taboos like depression, body shaming, and even orientation. I am most definitely an early bird, but college has turned me into a reluctant night owl for sure. I think my weirdest quirk is that I can't function through the day if I am late to something. I also really dislike hearing the sound of someone else eating; I get irrationally uncomfortable about it. This is has been so much fun! I have loved sharing with you a bit especially for all the sharing you have been doing through the years! Thanks so much, Carly!!!
xx,
Leslie

Hey Carly!

Well I am 25-years-old, living in Los Angeles after graduating from Baylor University. I work in film marketing – which is most definitely fun!
I have always wanted to learn how to do is shoot a bow and arrow – is it a crime to want to be as cool as Katniss?
One word to characterize me would probably be resourceful. I can figure it out, work it out, or fake anything well enough.
The most inspirational person in my life would definitely be my best friend Becca, she is smart, and we both share a similar struggle of having our fathers die – she was my inspiration to get through it all with grace.
One thing to wear… I am gonna say a comfy sweater, good jeans, and my Cole Haan boots. Ready for any adventure.
Favorite food is Mexican hands down, least favorite
Early bird or night owl? Totally a night owl!
Favorite book, movie, and TV show? #Superwholocked – yes I am that girl, I pretty much read anything YA and/or Supernatural-ish.

As far as quirks – I run for fun, thats pretty much as weird as it gets.

Hey there Carly! I'm so excited to see you're doing a virtual meet and greet. How cool! I'm Berenice Murguia and I'm 19 years old. I'm originally from the Golden State of California, but I'm currently living in Manhattan and attending college! I've always wanted to learn how to speak French and I'm hoping I'll be able to add it to my list of languages after I graduate. A word to describe myself? That's a tough one, I'll have to go with ambitious.
My biggest inspiration in life is my parents. I definitely look up to them and they provide me with my motivation to chase all of my dreams.
If I had to wear one thing for the rest of my life, it would probably be my Shep Shirt from Vineyard Vines. So comfy!
My least favorite food is probably sushi…How shameful for a Californian, I know! My favorite is my moms homemade italian.
I'm definitely a night owl.
My favorite book is The Catcher in the Rye or The Great Gatsby. My favorite movie is probably National Lampoon's Animal House, and my favorite TV show has to be all of The Real Housewives series or Two Broke Girls.
I absolutely love reading The College Prepster and look forward to eventually showing up to one of your NYC meet ups!

Hey y'all!
1. I'm 19 years old
2. I'm from New Bern NC but go to Meredith College, a women's college, in Raleigh NC.
3. I have always wanted to learn how to paint. I'm okay when it comes to sketching, but other than that all my artistic skills are musical 🙂
4. Busy but exciting!
5. My mom is definitely my inspiration! She is my best friend and my ultimate goal in life is be just like her
6. MY BARBOUR!
7. My favorite food is definitely chocolate chip pancakes and my least would have to be tuna salad.
8. The early bird catches the worm! 😉
9. My favorite book has to be "The Help"; I've probably read it 6 or 7 times! My favorite movie is Les Miserables and TV show would have to between Modern Family and The Middle.
10. I HAVE to have either the TV or Netflix on while doing homework. When I'm studying, just some light music, but other than that I feel my mind melting if it's silent.
11. I love traveling and hope to pursue it after graduation! I'd love to maybe move to Boston and work for EF Tours or maybe work for the Travel Channel!

How old are you? I am 30! Sooo much older than the bulk of your readers, but I can still relate to almost everything you say. You are refreshing, candid, and real, and it makes me feel so much better about life sometimes to know that there's someone else out there who experiences a lot of the same things that I do!

Where do you live and/or where do you go to school? I live in the Hudson Valley of NY; work in Northern NJ.

What's something that you've always wanted to learn? How to play violin

If you had to pick one word to characterize yourself, what would that word be? Compassionate

Who in your life inspires you the most? Hmm, great question. My grandmother passed away 16 years ago, but I still have to say her. She was so well-rounded as I aspire to be.

If you had to wear one thing for the rest of your life, what would you choose? Great jeans, a black sleeveless top (ie. the JCrew Jackie shell), comfortable flat sandals (neutral Jacks or something similar), and a fabulous gold/rhinestone statement necklace.

Favorite & least favorite food? Fave is french fries; least is olives.

Early bird or night owl? I don't know that I'm really either one — I like sleep no matter what time it is. More night owl if I had to pick.
Favorite book, movie, and TV show? Book – Rebecca by Daphne DuMaurier; Movie – Love Actually; TV – The Office

Do you have any weird "quirks"? Ohhh so many. I have to have certain things with me at all times: a bottle of water, gum/mints, lip gloss, a small snack, and money. Always. True fact: I bought one of those zipper pouches that kids put in their 3-ring binders to put into my work binder so I can always have these things with me at work. Also I still have the blanket my mom bought me before I was born and I get it out when I am stressed. If I'm going on a long car trip, it sits in the passenger seat next to me.

… anything else you feel like sharing! Keep doing what you do, you bring joy to my otherwise dull and routine mornings. 🙂

Hi Carly!

I'm Becca 🙂
I'm 22 and I live at home in RI while I attend grad school for library science at URI! I went to undergrad at Roanoke College in VA and I can't wait to move back down South…or to Boston. I can't make up my mind! I've always wanted to learn German and how to play the piano. I would characterize myself as honest. My grandmother has always inspired me even though she's gone. I would wear jeans-dark wash, skinny. I love wearing jeans, probably because I'm not allowed to at my job! Favorite food-too many to count, but Nutella is high on the list. Least favorite-cottage cheese-YUCK! I'm a night owl and probably the worst morning person ever. My favorite book is Jane Eyre, movie-Pride and Prejudice (both versions), TV show-right now I'm obsessed with Game of Thrones and can't wait for season 4! Oh and I lint roll my duvet too….although I don't have a pet so you have more of a reasoning than I do hahah!

… anything else you feel like sharing
i have 2 labradoodles that are a lot like teddy, but 70 pounds. I'm in marching band and am super nervous because I'm trying out to be a section leader this may. I have no plan for my future as far as a major in college, a preference for college, or what kind of job I'd like to have. I'm indecisive, I'm a kid at heart, I don't play sports and focus on music and school, I love movies, I love shopping and clothes, and I love blogging.

Hey Carly! I go by Elle (note to self: work out how to change my name on this!!). After reading the comments here I felt I needed to represent my little ole country 😉

I'm 25 years old!

I live in Belfast, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom. I go to Queens University. I am a 'mature' student who studied before (in Wales) but left and have recently went back to try again on a completely different course. I study History & Social Anthropology, joint honours.

I've always wanted to learn how to communicate via sign language.

One word most people would use to describe me is quirky.

People always inspire me. Every day my answer changes because everyone I meet always inspires something in me whether its big or small.

I live in plaid already so I'd have myself a plaid shirt (the perfect fit – somewhere between baggy and fitted) with some skinny dark/black jeans and a pair of duck boots.

My favourite food is pasta. My least is seafood – I'm also allergic but even the smell makes me gag.

I'm both an early bird and a night owl. It depends on what day it is.

My favourite book is Uncle Oswald by Roald Dahl. My favourite movie is The Goonies or The Breakfast Club. My favourite TV show is probably CSI (I've been a loyal fan of over ten years now)

I could fill an entire comment with my weird quirks but they mostly relate to my (diagnosed) OCD. I have weird feet though. I have such skinny/narrow feet that if a pair of shoes doesn't have a strap I can guarantee my feet will not stay in them. Also if I need to tie laces or put Velcro over or put a buckle over my foot, I can also guarantee that the laces will need tied 3 times to use up all the lace, the Velcro will completely stick out over the edges and I will need to make extra holes in the strap to buckle it so it actually fits my feet. Seriously, ridiculous feet.

Hi Carly!
I'm 19 years old from Fort Lauderdale, FL but I currently go to Florida State.

I've always wanted to learn how to surf (I wish I was more adventurous – I stay in the confines of J.Crew haha).

One word would be quirky – all my friends think I'm weird and awkward, but they stick around so they must think I'm funny or something.

My dad inspires me – I want to be the kind of person my dad is. He has so many great qualities and he loves his family so much.

I would wear cardigans – I already do wear them every day!

Favorite food would have to be the peanut butter cheeseburger from Monks here in Tallahassee (it's delicious I promise), and least favorite would be sushi (my downfall).

Definitely early bird, if I get up after 8 I count myself lucky.

My favorite book would have to be all of the Harry Potter books. Favorite movie is definitely Pitch Perfect, and favorite TV show will always be Friends.

My weird quirk would be that I am at the same coffee shop almost every day since my dad bought me a gift card (the employees call me gift card girl).

I also enjoy Photography, hammocking in my eno, and procrastinating on all my assignments.

Your life is what I would only dream of (NYC, J.Crew AND endless coffee shops), so its easy to procrastinate on your amazing blog!

LOVE YOU!

-Bridget R.

This is so fun! What a great idea!

Hi everyone 🙂

How old are you? I'm 19.

Where do you live and/or where do you go to school? I live in Houston, TX. I work for my dad's ministry and I'm a part time student. I plan to finish college in Texas getting a business administration degree and a minor in English.

What's something that you've always wanted to learn? Music theory! I play Piano…but I'm only confident with chords! I want to be able to know the in's and out's of it all.

If you had to pick one word to characterize yourself, what would that word be? Girly. (All. The. Way.)

Who in your life inspires you the most? God. He's creator, and He knows a lot more about me AND life than I do!

If you had to wear one thing for the rest of your life, what would you choose? Probably a navy cotton dress. Comfortable, can be dressed up or down, and my favorite color.

Favorite & least favorite food? Chinese food is my favorite….seafood is my least. Blech.

Early bird or night owl? Night owl. You basically have to drag me out of bed in the mornings….

Favorite book, movie, and TV show? Book: The Bible, The Fault in Our Stars by John Green, and Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers. Movie: The Devil Wears Prada (seriously…how could you not love this movie?!) TV Show: Modern Family. Sooo. Funny.

Do you have any weird "quirks"? I hate crumbs on the bottom of my drink cups. My bed has to be made before I can get in it at night…I'm weird, I know.

… anything else you feel like sharing!
I LOVE YOU AND YOUR BLOG! Thanks for responding to my email so quickly! I greatly appreciate you, Carly!

Hey Carly! 🙂

I am 17, but I'll be a legal adult in a week…it's crazy how fast life goes by!
I live in Turlock, CA, but I will be attending college either at UCSB or Pepperdine. I'm on the waiting list for Pepperdine, so fingers crossed. 🙂
I yearn to learn how to sail. It looks like a fun challenge, and who doesn't want to be on the water?!
Me in one word: charismatic
As trite as it sounds, my mom inspires me the most. She is a hard-working, single mother of two who is confident and elegant.
If I had to wear one thing for the rest of my life, I would probably pick a good pair of black skinny jeans. So versatile, yet so chic.
My favorite food is sushi and I can't think of a food I like the least.
Depending on the situation, I can be both an early bird and a night owl.
Favorite Book: The Mysterious Benedict Society
Favorite Movie: Singin' in the Rain, and most classic Disney movies
Favorite TV Series: Gossip Girl, The Big Bang Theory, The Voice, Modern Family, Friends
My Quirks: I tend to make short giggly sounds when I think something is slightly amusing, especially in a public setting…and usually no laughs with me, so you would just hear my quirky giggle resonate in the room. Also, I make puns every chance I get.

I hope I have the opportunity to see you in my life time. I went to NYC when I was thirteen and I loved it. I think one of my best friends is attending Columbia in the fall, so I might be able to multitask and see you too! 🙂

Hey Carly! Love your blog! 🙂

I'm 20 and living/going to school in New York City, but I was born and raised in California.
I've always wanted to learn how to play violin and how to do calligraphy.
One word to describe me would probably be excitable!
My parents have always inspired me, they have given me more than I could ever thank them for and always been troopers through all the hard times.
If I had to wear one thing for the rest of my life it would probably be skinny jeans, riding boots, a sweater, and a collared shirt.
My favorite food is pretty much anything Italian (pasta, bread, pasta. I mean, duh!) and my least favorite food is really hard to decide because I'm a super picky eater!
I am a definite night owl, but I have a deep appreciation for early mornings.
I have too many favorite books to pick just one (top 5: pride and prejudice, waiting for godot, the great gatsby, east of eden, a farewell to arms), favorite movie is probably Clueless or 500 days of summer, and my favorite tv show is gossip girl and one tree hill! (I cheated a little on that one..)
My weird quirk is probably that I have a lot of random, useless talents -for example, one day in high school I taught myself to write mirrored out of boredom!

Hola!

I am 25 and live in Tucson, AZ. I work in health sciences and insurance here and am looking at grad school on the east coast, so hello all!

I have always wanted to learn how to play the piano! I sing and would love to be able to accompany myself.

A word that characterizes me would be loyal. (Sometimes to my detriment.)

My biggest inspirations are both female entrepreneurs (tips hat) and women in leadership roles in largely underrepresented fields like the sciences/tech.

If I could wear one thing for the rest of my life it would be a well-fitted cotton t and a perfect pair of jeans. Classic All-American and it makes my skin look amazing always.

Favorite food is spinach–all day err' day. Least favorite food is steak.

I am an early bird through and through!

Favorite book: I Capture the Castle

Movie: Ever After

TV: The Mindy Project & My Mad Fat Diary

I'm a Kentucky girl and graduated from college in December.
I've always wanted to learn to surf (which is hard to do when you live in KY!).
One word: creative.
If I had to wear one item for the rest of my life, I would choose either my taupe ankle boots, or my favorite dark skinny jeans. Both go with everything and they're so comfortable.
My favorite food would be this strawberry spinach salad my mom makes (SO GOOD), and my least favorite is lima beans.
Early bird or night owl? Early bird.
Favorite book (of the moment): A Tree Grows in Brooklyn and The Fault In Our Stars (I can't pick just one!)
Favorite Movie: Pride and Prejudice with Colin Firth

Favorite & least favorite food? I love cheeseburgers and hate peanut butter (I know, I'm weird haha)

Do you have any weird "quirks"? Both of my shoulders are double jointed

Hi Carly! I'm 21 and from South Dakota! I'm getting a degree in Biology with a minor in Equine studies to someday have my own little ranch of breeding horses. I love learning all the little personalities that different horses have and seeing them bloom in the little ones as they explore the world. My word would be Bubbly; I think that it describes my personality quite well, I"m pretty hyper and happy go lucky and enjoy making others happy like Bubbles!!

My mom is the one that inspires me the most. She hasn't had the easiest life, and it has been getting harder as she fights lupus, but she is still always there to try to make your day better and has never nor will she ever stop fighting for her family, friends, and health.
If I had to wear one thing for the rest of my life, it would be the wedding band i'm gaining in only a month. 🙂 I never plan to take that thing off! My favorite food is tacos, but my least favorite is onions. I don't even like to be somewhere where onions are cooking. I am neither a night owl or an early bird. I like my sleep and 10 to 9 sounds perfect to me! Though I would rather stay up late than get up early any day.
Favorite book – Divergent series is rocking my socks right now!
movie – I"m a Harry Potter girl through and through.
and TV show? – Whovian heart right here. Doctor Who 🙂

My weirdest quirk is probably my laugh. I've been told that I sound like a seal barking. But I still let it ring anyway!

Your blog inspired me to start my own! Which has now morphed into me documenting my engagement and college life. It's called Becoming A Gilbert. BecomingAGilbert.blogspot.com if you ever want to check it out! 😀
