10. What is the best advice you've ever received? Explain.
Over the years i have gotten many advice from many people. It is usually the common advice every girl receives, like for example the advice to forget what everyone else says or to do what your heart tells you. I have gotten advice that sound like poems and other times the advice I am given is so plain stupid i have to try my best not to laugh at the people who care enough for me that they decided to "help" me. People are always giving me advice even if i do not ask for it. Maybe i should laugh at them. I realized recently the best advice out there for me is "calm down". Its so simple and so clear. I have the tendency to over panic when something goes wrong for me. My heart begins to pound as if i had just ran three miles non stop. I begin to get dizzy and get heat flashes. I become unbearable and a complete mess. So when someone comes around and calmly tells me to calm down, i do. I realize my problems are not that bad and that everything will be okay. I just have to calm down. It is reassuring when someone tells me to calm down and that everything will be okay. To me that is the best advice to give but you know, thats just me.

11. Ask and answer the one important question that a university won't ask you, but you wish they would.
Do you enjoy reading?
I do not enjoy reading, i love reading. Books take you to places unknown and introduces you to new people. Whenever i am sad i simply pick up a book and begin reading. People say books are for those who wish they were somewhere else and in my case is true. Books make my mind think and keep me more entertained than television. You can create worlds in your head and feel whatever the characters feel. It is as though you are in another persons life, it is pretty amazing if you ask me. The Hunger Games is a well written book that keeps me on my toes. The book Heaven written by my favorite author V.C Andrews kept me amused all the way through. It is entertainment and i can spend all day reading if i could.

12. Your life is a movie. Describe the first 15 minutes.
I wake up to the sound of a loud thrumming guitar. Quickly i open my eyes to find it is still pitch black and that the noise is my alarm clock. Thanks for another heart attack alarm clock. I get up as fast as i can and try not to think about how early it really is or ill never get up. Around six my mother drops me and my brother off at my grandmas for she has to work. Sadly i get out of the car. Ever since i can remember every morning is heart break for me. I hate parting from my mother. I enter my grandmas house and hug her. She's so cute to hug since she is only 5'2. Once i've said my hellos and have sat down at the couch i finally do my favorite thing to do in the morning. I check my phone and see his good morning text. I always smile to myself when i open my phone and find his name under " new text message". Once i reply i turn on the tv to my favorite channel of black and white movies and imagine myself with my dream pixie cut. Around 7:45 i arrive to school and the first person i see is him. His big smile always brightens my day and makes me quicken my pace just to hug him.

13. Write a letter to your future college roommate introducing yourself and your background.
To my future roommate,
hello my name is Jane Doe and I'm your future roommate!. This might seem weird but i decided to write you a note just so you can get the essence of who i am. I am extremely shy and i wanted to warn you in advanced so i wouldn't come off as a snob stuck up white girl. I said that because people who became my friends later on told me that thats how they perceived me. i think its pretty funny though since I'm clearly not white, I'm mexican. My lack of social skills have always been a problem so i decided to start off right with you. i hope you understand my embarrassing letter and take into consideration that at first i might be too quiet but if you open up to me ill surely open up for you. Also i become restless at night and might get up and start doing things so i wont over think and get all paranoid over nothing. Ill probably always just go take a walk, but if i stay i promise to be as noiseless as i possibly can be. This is all i wanted to share with you and i hope this letter wasn't that freaky. I cant wait to actually meet you and if you wouldn't mind, i would like to be good friends with you in the near future.
Have a great day, sincerely,
Jane Doe.
p.s ms eddy I'm not that weird!

14. Please describe your reactions/ideas to the following quote: "He does not possess wealth, it possesses him."
"He does not possess wealth, it possesses him" surely it means someone who has been blinded by money. The money has gone to his head. Once you get a lot of money you are different person most of the time. People let the money impact them like for example you have a very important job that pays a lot. To keep that job you have to be working all day and all night you'll be thinking of your job. Even though it takes over your life you cant let the job go because the pay is great and you get to have all the material things you want. Money takes a hold of you and controls you.
