4. Let your nominees know they've been tagged- and no tag-backs!
5. Nominate blogs under 200 followers

Eleven Facts About Me:
1. Watching TV shows on Netflix is one of my favorite downtime activities, but it takes me a questionably long time to get through a series. I'm not one to binge-watch, and I typically only watch one or two episodes at a time.
2. I love food, and I'm constantly trying new and exotic foods. I can thank my dad's world travels for that. However, I absolutely can't stand scrambled eggs. I'm fine with hard-boiled, poached, or over-easy, but something about scrambled eggs makes my stomach churn.
3. I love traveling to different counties, and I wanted to be a travel journalist at one point. I've been to Germany, France, Austria, Luxembourg, Mexico, Canada, the Cayman Islands, Belize, Honduras, the Bahamas, and Jamaica (thanks to a few Carribbean cruises).
4. I'm studying abroad in Berlin next semester!
5. I'm a pretty anxious person, and my anxiety usually comes on during stressful times in my life.
6. I'm allergic to cats, some dogs, horses, and chinchillas.
7. I found NYC too overwhelming the first time I came here, but now I love it!
8. Coffee is a much over-exposed topic in blog world, but I am in love with it like everyone else. Give me an (iced) coffee with milk or cream, and I'm set for the morning.
9. My boyfriend and I were on the "kiss cam" at a Syracuse University football game. That's actually how our friends found out we were dating.
10. I've had a red birthmark next to my eye since I was born, and I constantly get asked if I was punched in the face. Thank goodness for concealer.
11. I used to live two minutes away from Eminem (the rapper) in Michigan, although I've never actually seen him.

"The Secret Life of Bees" by Sue Monk Kidd

By taking pictures! I have literally over 2,000 pictures on my iPhone.
3. Rain or snow?
I've spent the past two winters in Syracuse, where the snow falls two feet at a time and is accompanied by freezing temperatures (it got to -40 degrees F last year). So I'm going with rain.
4. Who would you choose to celebrate your birthday with?
My family, my boyfriend, and a few of my close friends.
5. Tea/water/juice/coffee?
Coffee is always a necessity, but I usually drink water throughout the day.

I like curling my hair, but I typically run out of time and wear it straight.

Hmmm. Vampire Diaries.

I really want to make some waffles!

10. You have $1,000. What do you do with it?
Have fun in NYC! See a Broadway show, go shopping, eat the expensive restaurants...
11. Are you afraid of thunderstorms?
It depends. I find thunderstorms relaxing a lot of the time, but I get scared if the storm is huge. Or if I'm driving in a bus down the highway during a tornado warning... bad memories.
