73 Questions

What do you do when you are on a two week break from school and have free time? Well answering 73 questions seems like a fun one. I love learning more about people and when I saw this pop up on Ashley’s blog, I was interested in answering the questions myself. I changed a few to relate to where I live, etc. I actually didn’t even know about the series Vogue magazine 73 questions until she mentioned it as well. I definitely took longer than 10 minutes to put this together, but most were fast to answer.
