<p>Wow this looks like fun! </p>
<p>1.) something in the medical field... my best friend has cerebral palsy and has always been my inspiration for this career. </p>
<p>2.) I want to major in biology, but I also love math :-) </p>
<p>3.) My favorite book is Pride & Prejudice. I have many favorite movies along with a bad habit of quoting my favorite movies in my daily conversations. Some of my favorite movies are Gone with the Wind, Moulin Rouge, and A Walk To Remember.... romantic movies make me happy. </p>
<p>4.) On a scale of 1-10, my nerdiness is around a 6.5... i'm extremely dedicated to my academics, but I also enjoy having fun with my friends </p>
<p>5.) My biggest guilty pleasure is strawberry Ben & Jerry's. If I'm having a rough day I will honestly eat an entire container of that icecream in one sitting. </p>
<p>6.) I listen to many types of music depending on what kind of mood I'm in. I generally listen to classical music when I'm studying or trying to focus. I'm always attracted to anything with an acoustic guitar. </p>
<p>7.) I was awarded a full scholarship to my high school. </p>
<p>8.) I can't think of an exact moment of failure, but I was very shy my first 2 years of high school and I really regret that. </p>
<p>9.) I love music... playing the piano is favorite source of relaxation. I also enjoy ballet and all-star (competitive) cheerleading. </p>
<p>10.) Wellesley is my first choice college.</p>
<ol>
<li>Science (maybe) Journalist</li>

<li>Being shy</li>
<li>Swimming or piano</li>
<li>Very top!</li>
</ol>
<p>Haha, I like this :)</p>
<p>1. Dream career, if money were irrelevant? I'd love to do something with fashion, but since I have absolutely no artistic sense when it comes to it, I'm glad to just continue as a casual observer.
2. Intended major/academic interests? I'm thinking of History for now.
3. Favorite book/author(s)/movies? I'm a huge sucker for happy endings and romantic stories too :P. I loved Love, Actually and my favourite movie of all time is probably Roman Holiday. The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons is probably my favourite book, but I also love Animal Farm even though it's not something I typically enjoy.
4. Nerdiness on a scale of 1-10? I'd say 6-7 I guess. I'm pretty involved with my academics but most of my interests are outside of it.
5. Guilty pleasure? Uhmm, can't really think of one at the moment.
6. Favorite music genre? I don't think I have a favourite music genre but my favourite bands are Belle & Sebastian and The Beatles.
7. Greatest accomplishment? I was awarded a free trip to Malaysia for an essay I wrote.
8. Greatest failure? Golf. I've been practicing for about two years and my coach still hasn't taken me onto a real golf course.
9. Favorite nonacademic past time? Reading, definitely. I also love vintage shopping.
10. How high is Wellesley ranked on your list? Be honest. It's my first choice. I was already accepted to a school nearby as a safety and I was pretty satisfied so Wellesley was basically the only school I applied to after.</p>
