The 30 Day 'End of the World' Challenge: Whoops!

Haha! Well, I missed doing this and spent the end of the world flying across it to warmer climates. But knowing that some of you were expecting it, I decided to finish anyway.

The 30 Day 'End of the World' Challenge:

Day 1 - Your current relationship, if single discuss how single life is. 

I am taken. We have a great relationship, not perfect, but it's what most would hope for.

Day 2 - Where you’d like to be in 10 years. 

In 10 years, I'd like to be blissfully married with at least one child. I hope by then I will have found my calling, so that I can be happily and fully engaged in leaving whatever my legacy on earth will be.

Day 3 - Your views on drugs and alcohol.

Ideally, they would be that if they don't harm or affect others negatively, then go as wild as you like. Unfortunately, people are stupid. Because of this, those who are found guilty of harming or affecting others with their use of either of these should be fined, jailed, or flayed depending on the degree of harm.

Day 4 - Your views on religion.

Organized religion is a tool of man whether for good or evil. One should have faith and a personal relationship with their Creator and rejoice in the fellowship of those like-minded in their beliefs. Your personal beliefs should not impose on anyone else and if you succeed in converting someone to your faith as a result of your actions and not your theology, you're doing it right.

Day 5 - A time you thought about ending your own life.

N/A

Day 6 - Describe something you're passionate about.

Photography! I get really excited to when my surrounding inspire me photograph them. I've even started to day dream about my trips in terms of how the photos will turn out. When I share them, I really try to tell a story through them. From the feedback, I think I'm doing a good job so far.

Day 7 - Your zodiac sign and if you think it fits your personality.

I'm a fire tiger, Sagittarius and it definitely fits me. I don't believe horoscopes but it's fun to see what your personality type and quirks are based on these things and I do find them to fit.

Day 8 - A moment you felt the most satisfied with your life.

Sitting at the top of Mt. Fuji. I felt like it validated some of the most important life decisions I had made up until that point.

Day 9 - Do you think people have the wrong impression of you?

All the time.

Day 10 - Discuss your first love and first kiss.

Puppy love no longer counts, so in that case what I'll say is that despite our bumpy start, it's proven to be a love of a lifetime. The first kiss? It was magical and ordained as a spectacle for the gods.

Day 11 - Put your ipod on shuffle and write 10 songs that pop up.

Blink 182 - Rock Show
Kid Cudi - Day and Night (Crookers Remix)
Tool - Schism
Frou Frou - Let Go
Kanye West - Good Life
Death Cab for Cutie - Sleep Spent
Aurora - Ordinary World
Minus the Bear - Intro
Nujabes - Next View
Ayla - Angelfalls

Day 12 - Bullet your whole day.

• Woke up.
• Went back to bed.
• Woke up.
• Laid in bed on my iPhone for an hour.
• Layered up to come to work.
• Sat at my desk at work all day catching up on varied interests.
• Drove home and huddled around the heater for warmth.
• Debated whether the kitchen is too cold and whether just have crackers for dinner...again.
• Watch all my favorite YouTubers and TV shows. Or play on the Wii. Or read on my iPad.
• Pass out at 11:00pm.
  

A typical day in the life of a JET. Riveting.

Day 13 - Somewhere you’d like to move or visit.

Europe! From my one and only visit, I can tell that I would do well there. I don't think anyone can see all there is to see in Europe even if you lived there all your life, but I'll give it a go.

Day 14 - Your earliest memory.

Eating a french fry.

Day 15 - If you could turn back time, is there anything you'd do differently?

Yes. High School for starters.

Day 16 - Your views on mainstream music.

It's fun.

Day 17 - Your highs and lows of this past year.

Lows - missing out on important events back home.
Highs - accomplishing all and more of my travel goals.

Day 18 - Your beliefs.

Love all, trust few, do wrong to none.

Day 19 - Disrespecting your parents.

A thing of my juvenile past.

Day 20 - How important you think education is.

Important, but not as important as experience.

Day 21 - One of your favorite shows.

So so many. One of my new favorites is Downton Abbey. It's magnificent.

Day 22 - How have you changed in the past 2 years?

Well, I've been living abroad and have changed dramatically in 2 years as a result of being completely independent for the first time in my life. Only those who have lived apart from everything they hold dear and familiar can know the subtle ways this changes someone, but in summary, I've matured quite a bit. It's been invaluable.

Day 23 - Give pictures of 5 guys who are famous who you find attractive.

I can't be bothered to do that so I'll just name them:

• Robert Pattinson (when he's not Edward Cullen)
• Alexander Skarsgard (especially when he's Eric Northman)
• Brad Pitt (especially around the Fight Club era)
• Vin Diesel (all day long)
  
• David Beckham (especially when modeling)
  

Day 24 - Your favorite movie and what it’s about.

What Dreams May Come. It's about the lengths one goes for true love.

Day 25 - Someone who fascinates you and why.

Me. I constantly surprise myself.

Day 26 - What kind of person attracts you.

Confident, funny, and kind.

Day 27 - A problem that you have had.

Connecting.

Day 28 - Something that you miss.

Those days and nights at FIU when anything could happen.

Highs - hitting another JETset goal and going to Singapore!
