I've seen a few of my favorite bloggers make a post called "11 things" and thought I'd give it a go myself.
There are five rules:
1. Post these rules
2. Post a photo of yourself and 11 random things
3. Answer the questions set for you in the original post
4. Create 11 new questions and tag people to answer them
5. Go to their blog/twitter and tell them you've tagged them
11 random things:
1. I am utterly completely addicted to lip balm. You name a kind, brand, etc and I swear to you I have it. I never leave my apartment without it, always have one in my pocket, they can be found every where in my apartment and I can't even count how many times a day I apply it.
2. My favorite place in the whole wide world is New York City. I just get such an amazing feeling about life when I am there and I find it to be such a beautiful place. My entire family is from New York and I cannot wait to live there again someday.
3. I am currently in school to become an elementary school teacher. I student taught in a kindergarten class for two years and it was such an enjoyable experience and I had the best teacher as my mentor. I currently work in childcare as well.
4. When I hear a song I like, I will download it and play that song until I can't stand it anymore. When I had a last.fm account I'm sure people were often confused as to why I listened to the same song over and over, back to back. My friends are always surprised when they look at my iTunes because of the play count some of my songs have.
5. My boyfriend and I currently share an apartment and I've never been happier.
6. I have an addiction to taking photos with my iPhone. I take pictures of anything and everything, anywhere. I'm sure I'll be thankful to myself for documenting too much when I am older, even if the majority of the photos are only taken with my phone.
7. My favorite foods are pizza, broccoli and asparagus.
8. I love love love painting my nails. I find it a stress reliever as well.
9. My boyfriend and I get obsessed with watching certain tv shows. Especially Tabitha Takes Over, Parking Wars, Lock Up, Impractical Jokers, and so on.
10. Sometimes I wish I could fast forward my life. I know these are supposed to be the ~best years of a my life but I am tired of college and partying like the majority of my age group. I want to be finished with school and to have a career, home, family, etc. But I am sure when I have all that, I'll want what I have now back. I grass is always green on the other side.
11. I have the biggest sweet tooth.
I chose to answer questions from Kaelah

Describe your idea of a perfect day: Where would you go, what would you do, who would you do it with?
Yesterday pretty much was a perfect day: I stayed over my best friends house, got back to my apartment in the morning, my boyfriend had made a cute confetti cake for me to come home to, we talked and ate our cake. We then changed our clothes and ventured out to a local park. We walked through the animal exhibits, I took tons of pictures, pet/feed the animals. We enjoyed a late lunch/dinner at my favorite diner and returned home. We cuddled up watched some tv, I took a little nap. I woke up, we ordered dessert, cuddled up in bed and watched a movie till I fell asleep.
