Here's 100 questions I found that can help get to know someone. I felt like getting to know myself a little better. And then I just added some fun facts about me at the end haha Enjoy :)
Personal Questions
1. How do you define honesty?

2. What is your biggest fear or worry?
Dying at a young age. This whole 2012 phenomenon is my biggest fear at the moment. I want to graduate, I want to live a long and happy life, I want to get the chance to and I'm terrified.

I think I'm very driven and no matter how hard people try to bring me down, I know what truly makes me happy and matters in my life.
4. If you had to evacuate your house immediately, what is the one thing you would grab on the way out?
The one framed picture of me, my mom, and my dad. It counts as the only legit family picture we've ever taken.

I have no idea.
6. What is the oldest item you own?

An all expense paid trip around the world.
8. What does it mean to have courage?
To do what others think is impossible.

No. I think it's unique and all but it's a song by the band Steely Dan and I just blatantly don't like the song.
10. Do you have a nickname? What is it?
Yeah but I don't really know how to spell it. It's pretty hard to shorten "Aja" but people call me Ajsh? Maybe that's the spelling, if not, I don't know what is.

18. Who is the one person that helped to make you who you are today?
My mom. Not only would I literally not be here without her, but she's impacted my life in the best ways.
19. If you were punished for a crime, what type of punishment would you choose?

20. Describe a time you got into trouble.
In 8th grade, the girls on the volleyball team wanted to dress up on a game day so we all wore dresses/skirts and I wore this super cute jean skort thing that didn't follow the whole "hands by your sides" rule yet it was by no means scandalously short (PS my arms are insanely long so I've never been able to wear shorts to school) and our Dean, Mrs. Loveleiss caught me and I had to go into her office and sign her stupid book and she gave me a warning. I had to call my mom to come bring me pants and she was even pissed off because I HAD SHORTS ON UNDERNEATH THEM and she told me "It's the principal of the thing, child." I wanted to say, "Hey, why don't you try disciplining instead of befriending all your homegirls instead of catching me on a technicality" but that would've been racist wouldn't it?

My old best friend Alyssa.
42. When did you kiss for the first time and what was it like?

Worldly Questions

French. I studied in middle school and high school. It's just so fluid and sexy.
48. If you had to pick one place in your town to bring a tourist, where would you go?
Downtown by the lake. I think it's the only pretty place in Kenosha.
49. What is the one cause that you feel most passionate about?
Supporting our troops.

Stayed in the east.

Any non-profit arts organization I support. I support it everyday by being involved in the arts and encouraging others to do so.
52. If you could travel to space, would you go?
No.
53. If you could move anywhere, where would you go and why?
New York or London. They're just amazing in two completely different ways. New York is the epicenter of theatre and entertainment and London is the epicenter of the best parts of world history.
54. Would you want to travel the world on a boat in the sea?
I don't know, I've never been on a boat very long. Who knows if I would get sea sick.
55. When you travel away from home, do you miss it?
Not usually.
56. What is the greatest crisis we face as a world?
Everyone trying to conquer everyone. I know that world peace is not an option and if you think it is, sorry to say, but you're delusional. I blame religion and greed.
57. Describe your favorite vacation.
I traveled to 7 countries in Europe. England, France, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Lichenstein, and Germany. I love Europe. There's just so much history there because it was established long before America was. The architecture's absolutely beautiful everywhere you go and it was fun to just be thrown into a completely different culture.
58. If you could write your own bill of rights, what would you include?
I think our bill of rights is just fine. There's just people occupying the White House right now that seems to think it's okay to change the whole platform our country was based on and take some of those away.
59. What is going on today in the world that affects you the most?
Although many of Obama's supporters were college students, I was not one of them. And many who dosupport him do not realize that this rising debt we keep obtaining is not really going to effect our parents' generation, it's going to
effect ours. We're going to be broke. Has the stimulus plan worked? No. Has he increased jobs? No. Has the debt gone down? No. Along with the rest of America, the idolized Barack Obama has our fates in his hands and until he's out of office, I think we're heading for "hell in a hand basket" as my grandma would say. But that's what we get for electing a "community organizer" who accomplished nothing significant politically while he was in the senate for less than 2 years, as a president isn't it?
