11.I am a horrid drawer, but I still enjoy it occasionally.

Meredith's Qs
1. do you collect anything? if so, what?
I hoard collect many things. Those Dumdum wrappers you can mail in for a prize(I have over 100 I think), books I will never find time to read, and name tags from Youth that say "Rebeccer!"
 
2. what song describes your life right now?
I have four. =)
Merry Happy by Kate Nash 
"Dancing at discos,Eating cheese on toast
Yeah you make me merry, make me very very happy
But you obviously, you didn't want to stick around
So I learnt from you"
This song is so sassy and easy to sing along to.I love it, and I certainly have learned from someone, and I am so thankful that I did.

God Only Knows by The Beach Boys
"I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
I'll make you so sure about it
God only knows what I'd be without you"
The Beach Boys are equivalent to my childhood.They are the same. I hope to have a love like this someday.

I Will Wait by Mumford and Sons
 "Now I'll be bold 
 As well as strong  
And use my head alongside my heart  
So tame my flesh  
And fix my eyes  
A tethered mind freed from the lies"
This song makes me feel like there is hope of finding love someday.Until that day, I will wait, and fall more in love with God while I'm waiting.:)

Titanium by David Guetta ft. Sia
"You shoot me down, but I won't fall
  I am titanium. 

You shoot me down, but I won't fall  
I am titanium."
 This is a rather popular one, but the message of it is strength. I have learned a lot about myself in the last two months and I am ready to be strong now.=)

3. what is your favorite season?
I am a sucker for fall and spring. I love changing my wardrobe around to fit the weather and there are great times of transition going on.:) But I also love the blessed extremities of summer and winter. All the above.
 
4. favorite starbucks drink?
Every time I go, I get Strawberries n' Creme Frappe. I tried the famous Pumpkin Spice with a friend once, but I didn't really like it. Not a big coffee person.
 
5. what is your favorite part of your room?
My favorite part of my room is my bed. It has four blankets, lace I wrapped around it, soft lights near my head for reading, and lots of my favorite pictures surrounding me. It is so cozy and I love reading books, doing devotions, and doing anything there.:)

Oh, also the phrases I've put up on my walls make me happy. 

 
6. is there anything in your life you are unsatisfied with? how could you change that?
Yes, I am unsatisfied with my ability to make things extremely awkward and ruining stuff when I make careless decisions. Like, things will be going great and I let one thing get in my way or say something stupid, and I ruin it. I can be more careful with my words and think more of other people and how I impact them. Basically, I should rarely speak until I get better at it.:)

7. what do you believe in?
 I believe that there is a God greater than all my problems, that Jesus Christ my savior is greater than my worst thoughts, actions, and mistakes, and a spirit that is always living inside me to guide and comfort me.

8. what was your favorite fairytale as a child? 
 The Little Mermaid, hands down. I always loved swimming growing up and became very agile at swimming with my feet together, pretending I was a mermaid.

9. do you have any obsessions? 
1.My shows (Downton Abbey, Doctor Who, LOST, Grey's Anatomy...)
2.Christmas Cake
3.Organizing my Pinterest boards mercilessly

10. describe to us your dream date.
As long as it's with someone who really likes me, that is all I dream (and hope for) date-wise. I also think it's really adorable if he gets nervous about holding your hand. :)

11. share some good reads with us (can be blogs, books, poems, whatever.)             
this adorable story about Sarah's grandparents and their love story.(+picture and love letter, *squeals at cuteness*)
Have motivation problems? Me too, big time. The lovely ladies at Fernweh give their tips on getting out of the endless pit of procrastination. Finals are coming up yo, they are coming up.
Below Stairs If you love Downton Abbey, you will love this, because Downton is almost entirely based on real events in this memoir. I originally read it for my AP history paper, but I kept reading even after I turned it in. So quirky and clever!
