Blog-tember Day 1 - All About Me

Hello there everybody!

September is here, and it brings autumn (my favorite season), the beginning of a new school year, lots and lots of changes... and the annual Blog-tember Challenge, hosted by Bailey of Love Bailey Jean!! It's the third year I try to participate on it. I can't promise that I'll do every prompt, but I'll do my best :)

curly hair, funny faces, traveling

To introduce myself, I'll make a list of 20 random facts about moi!

1. I'm a third year medical student
2. Before I decided to go to med school, I considered being a designer and a musician.
3. I'm a "wannabe pianist". I know that I'll never be a pro because my heart is on medicine, but I love the piano so much.
4. I also play the guitar and the ukelele (last year I mentioned that I was going to learn it and so I did!)
5. I sing and play the guitar at my church's youth choir.
6. This is the third laptop I've had this year, because the two previous ones (Lenovo) stopped working in the same way. I switched to a Mac and now I don't want to go back!
7. My favourite book ever is (still) The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Everytime I read it, it feels like coming home somehow.
8. I had an emo phase when I was around 15 (who didn't?) but my mum wouldn't let me dress up like an emo (thank God)
9. I have my driver's license, but I don't have a car, and I'm a very anxious driver so I don't drive my parents' car a lot.
10. I live 20 min away from the beach, so I go there a lot!
11. I don't have only one best friend, but many: my best friend from primary school, my best friend from middle school, my best friend from high school, and my two best friends at uni.
12. I'm a big fan of football (soccer)! My favourite team is FC Porto, we all support it in my family. Actually, the Portuguese National Team won the European Championship this year against France!
13. My favourite Olympic sport is gymnastics. I did rhythmic gymnastics for a year!
14. If I got the chance to be a child again, I'd start doing ballet so that I could become a ballerina.
15. My favourite band is Panic! at the Disco and I'd love to see them live.
16. I want to become a vegetarian, and I avoid eating meat outside my house, but I still haven't found it in me to stop eating the same stuff as my family.
17. I have an OBSESSION with books and I spend LOTS of money on them. Also, notebooks.
18. I love watching Youtubers, but I tend to prefer youtubers who approach more "serious" topics and who do covers, over funny youtubers or make-up channels. My favourites are Carrie Hope Fletcher and Dodie Clark.
19. Cooking is one of my main distractions when I'm studying.
20. I have a sister who is three years younger than me and she is pretty much the closest person to me in the world.

Well, I hope I left you guys curious! See you tomorrow for one more day of this Challenge ;)

Love,

Mariana
