Who Am I?

I watch a lot of youtubers and I've been watching their "50 Facts About Me Tag" videos over the past couple months. I'm not sure if such a thing exists in the blogging world but I decided I would do a blog post on it anyway. Enjoy!


1. I've had insomnia twice before.
2. My favourite colours are berry pinks/purples and teal.
3. My plan is to study international relations in the UK for university.
4. On a school night I get on average of 3-5 hours of sleep. Then I catch up on the weekends and on summer/winter/spring break. I've always slept less than most people.
5. I try to be as environmentally conscious as possible so I recycle EVERYTHING. I keep a bag of paper recycling in my room and I'll take my (and my friends!) Starbucks cups/wrappers etc. home to sort and recycle/compost.
6. I wear high heels pretty much every single day to school. In my mind, I don't think of heels shorter than 3 inches as heels. Of course I know they're heels, I'm just so used to them that I don't consciously think of them as heels.
7. I have a double bed but I only stick to a small section of it. Often the rest of my bed is covered in clothes or school books.
8. I'm trying to start a collection of vintage fashion magazines. Right now I have 2.
9. I'm afraid of heights but I also love roller coasters and the big, "scary" rides at amusement parks.
10. I'm a vegetarian (lacto-ovo vegetarian).
11. I am consistently over-dressed but I enjoy dressing up so it doesn't matter.
12. I'm definitely a dog person. I have 2 dogs and when I live on my own, I want a yorkie or a westie.
13. I'm a huge procrastinator and I find I do some of my best work while under pressure.
14. I like to keep my school work extremely organized. Think files, tons of sticky notes, 10 different colours of pens, and 10 different colours of highlighters.
15. My closet is organised by general type of clothing, then by colour, then warmth. (this means within the "blue" section my sleeveless shirts will go first, then short sleeves, then long sleeves; I don't organise it from light blue to dark blue)
16. When I was a little kid, I was afraid of riding on escalators.
17. I've never broken a bone or sprained anything.
18. I do however have quite poor eyesight.
19. If there's a spider in my room I won't sleep in it.
20. Sometimes I'd rather stay home and catch up on homework than go out.
21. I am super clumsy. I have a reputation among my friends for tripping all the time.
22. My favourite season is autumn.
23. I'm obsessed with 1950s fashion.
24. I get sick a lot.
25. This past summer, I rode on an elephant.
26. I love baking. I find it very relaxing.
27. I hope to visit each continent at least once in my lifetime. I'm undecided if I want that goal to include Antarctica.
28. When I write, I turn my paper almost completely sideways.
29. My favourite class right now is world history, yes history.
30. I'm not a huge fan of coffee... unless it's mocha or some fancy drink that must be loaded with sugar and cream... but I LOVE the smell of it.
31. One of my pet peeves is when people refer to themselves in the third person.
32. For the most part, I don't follow fashion trends, I buy and wear what I like.
33. I'm a huge hockey fan. It kind of comes with being Canadian.
34. I have tiny "baby hands". I have never met someone my own age that has hands that are smaller than mine.
35. I'm a combination of super organised and quite messy. I'll let my room get super messy with clothes and school books everywhere until I can't stand it anymore and I do a super thorough cleaning.
36. My favourite weather is when it's sunny out with a cool, crisp breeze (about 20° C).
37. I love planning events and for a long time I was sure I wanted to start an event planning company.
38. I'm a bad speller. I can spell most things properly but there are certain words that I can never remember how to spell.
39. I have this weird thing where I dislike oranges, as in the fruit. It's almost a phobia. I don't know why because I ate them as a kid, but now I refuse to eat them or drink orange juice or eat anything that has orange in it. The same goes for grapefruits and most citrus fruits. Except I like lemons and limes. I know, I'm weird.
40. One day I want to start making youtube videos and really become involved in the whole youtube community.
41.I like many different types of music, from techno to indie/alternative.
42. My favourite numbers are 15 and 16, not sure why.
43. I say I don't believe in superstitions yet I follow them anyway... just in case. For example I won't open up an umbrella fully indoors.
44. I'm an Android person, at least when it comes to phones.
45. I am very indecisive, but also very stubborn. Bad combination.
46. I love love love French pastries. They are my weakness. I am also a dessert person, I especially love cheesecake, chocolate lava cake, and pie.
47. My favourite flowers are orchids and peonies.
48. I love scented candles and pretty much whenever I'm in my room, there will be one lit.
49. I cry easily in movies.
50. The TV shows I'm addicted to at the moment are How I Met Your Mother, The Big Bang Theory, Modern Family, Criminal Minds, Grey's Anatomy, and Smash.

And that's 50 facts about me! That was actually a lot harder than I had anticipated. I hope you feel like you have a sense of who I am now, until next time!
