Survey

Do you think you’ll change in the next 3 months? Jacob: Probably not. I mean, I suppose everyone always has little changes to their appearance and I'll be finishing up my school year but otherwise... I don't think I change that much. Sierra: I hope so. Not a lot, because I like who I am, but I think that it's good for me to grow and to grow I have to have some changes, you know? Plus, it wouldn't hurt to up my lap times some more. Pablo: It's unlikely. I'll just be going through the rest of the school year so there should be no good reason for change to happen during that time. Tamara: No. Besides, I don't need to change, I'm awesome. I wouldn't say no if my boobs wanted to grow some more overnight but otherwise I'm good. Mason: Not in a major way, but maybe my opinions on things will change if I become better informed or maybe I'll make new friends that will help change the way I am. Alyssa: Why would I? I mean, I'll be graduating in about that time but I don't foresee that changing me. Graduating high school or not, I'm still me and I like who I am.

Is confidence cute? Jacob: Is this asking if I'm attracted to confidence? I don't think so. I'm not more attracted to people without confidence, but I don't think it's a quality that's attractive necessarily. Some people have more than others, but that doesn't change how cute they are, it just changes how cute they think they are. Sierra: It is cute. It's cute when people are proud of themselves or their looks or whatever. I'm a confident person, more so than I used to be, and I find myself cuter and notice that others seem to feel the same way. So I'd have to say yes. Pablo: Cute isn't the word I'd use. Confidence is sexy, which is much better in my opinion. There's not much hotter than a girl who knows that she's hot and she owns it. Tamara: I'm confident and I'm hella cute. So what does that tell you? Confidence is definitely cute. You've got to love yourself if you really want others to do so too. Mason: I don't think so. I don't mean it in a bad way, that having confidence is unattractive but I don't know... it's hard to feel confident, I think. So adding it to a list of things that are cute seems like a strange thing to do. Alyssa: Yes. Confidence is cute or hot or however you want to put it, it's all good. Confidence is what really can take someone from just seeming alright to being a total head turner.

What are you going to spend money on next? Jacob: Gas. It sounds boring but my tank is empty. Besides, I don't have that many other expenses while living on campus and I'm not really one to go out so... gas. Sierra: I just saw the cutest shoes in the mall the other day and I'm going back tomorrow with friends to get a pair. Pablo: Probably alcohol. What can I say? I'm going out tonight and I don't foresee myself buying anything before that. Besides, I'm legal. Tamara: Food. My friends and I are going out for dinner tomorrow night before doing some shopping so, technically food is getting my money before clothes. Mason: Uh... I don't know. I've got an allowance but I don't buy all that much? I don't really need to buy things that often. Maybe I'll go to the movies sometime with my friends? Alyssa: Unfortunately, I have a book I need to buy for English Lit. So it'll be that book. I wish it was shoes though. I did see a super cute pair online, but they were $100 and I don't have that sort of money to spend on anything.

Would you be able to date someone who doesn’t make you laugh? Jacob: Ever? That's a long time. Though, I suppose I could, if we could laugh together over other things. Still, I can't imagine a situation where you'd be dating someone long term... oh it doesn't say long term, does it? I still don't know. Sierra: Definitely not. Look, laughter is way important and if someone can't make my laugh they're probably really boring and I don't want to date someone who is super boring, ya know? Pablo: I don't date so I don't worry about this stuff. However, when I do get around to dating I'll probably look for a girl that can make me laugh. Why not? I enjoy a good laugh. Tamara: No. Come on. People who can't make others laugh suck so much. Like, you don't have to even be funny to make someone laugh, you can repeat other people's jokes or make weird faces or anything. Mason: Probably not, just because I laugh pretty easily. If someone can't make me laugh at any point I'd be worried that they didn't like me. Alyssa: How hot are they? Kidding. Mostly. I do think they'd have to be able to make me laugh sometimes. I don't want a comedian or anything, but a good laugh here and there is nice.

Occupations you wanted to be when you were a kid? Jacob: I really wanted to be like my Mom, so I wanted to work at a vet's office with the animals. I used to love it when I'd get to visit her at work. Sierra: I wanted to be an actress and also a doctor. A doctor actress who sometimes would get called away from productions so that I could save someone's life. Pablo: This requires some background. One of my neighbors in Miami was so cool and so nice and he was an older gentlemen whose wife had passed and kids had moved away so he had this freezer full of ice cream that he'd give out to kids when it was super hot out. Obviously I wanted to be just like him because everyone loved him. Therefore, I wanted to be a car salesman. I used to practice in Spanish and in Portuguese on my toy cars with Santos. Tamara: A celebrity. One of those triple threats who could sing and dance and act and who everyone loves. I put on shows for my family and my friends so many times. Mason: I went through a stage where I wanted to be a dog when I grew up. I don't know why or how I thought that it'd work out, but I was preparing for the day when I'd be able to turn into a dog. Alyssa: A ballerina princess. Or sometimes just a princess who could dance when she wanted to. Actually, if that was a real career path it's still what I'd want to do. I'd be damn good as a ballerina princess.

Do you want to get married? Jacob: I would like to someday, of course. I want to have a family and kids and all of that but I don't think  it will be happening anytime soon. Especially not with the way my dating life is going. Sierra: I think it would be nice if it happened but my Mom never did and she's very happy so I don't need to. Still, I think I'd rather be married if it works out. Pablo: I'm not sure. Marriage seems very serious and I'm not thinking about it anytime soon. Tamara: Obviously. I'm going to be such a beautiful bride and the wedding will be so nice. People will be jealous of how amazing my wedding is. Mason: Oh, I suppose so. I guess in my future I've always pictured myself as married even though I've never given it a lot of thought. Alyssa: Of course I want to get married. I've had my wedding planned out for years and let me tell you the lucky person who I marry is going to have an amazing wedding.

What's the worst birthday you've had? Jacob: I had a birthday party where I was in the second grade and no one showed up. None of my friends from school came because my best friend was sick and everyone else just didn't want to come. My parents tried to turn it around and I did end up having a nice time but I haven't had a birthday party since then. Sierra: Picture this, I'm 10 and there was a neighbor kid who particularly disliked me when I was growing up, but my Mom invited the whole neighborhood because we didn't know that he didn't like me. So he comes to the party and everything is going well and I've got on this new dress that my Mom bought especially for the occasion and I'm playing with some friends when suddenly this kid comes up and says he has an extra surprise for me. I'm super thrilled about it and he tells me to close my eyes and then goes ahead and dumps this huge bucket of mud and sticks all over me. I cried so much. Pablo: My worst birthday, hands down is my 16th. My parents always used to come and get us out of school an hour early on our birthdays and let us have control over the rest of the day, so when they came to pick me up at lunch I was thrilled, thinking it was special for my big 16th. Instead, when I get into the car my Papa is stone faced and tells me we can't do anything for my birthday because they've been at the hospital all day and the doctors say Santos has a tumor. It doesn't get much worse than that. Tamara: Two years ago I invited my crush to my birthday party and when the day comes, he comes in without a present, eats birthday cake with everyone and avoids me the whole time. When I finally manage to talk to him he says he only came because his Mom said it was polite to do so and he didn't want to because I'm not even pretty. I would have been able to handle that better if everyone hadn't been watching. Some people even laughed. It was so embarrassing, but screw him. I'm damn hot. Mason: My worst birthday? I don't really know? My birthdays have all been pretty good. Last year I did have a big pop quiz on my birthday though and I failed it. That wasn't fun. Alyssa: Okay, so here's the deal. I'm turning 12 and Kenzie is there and there's a bunch of people in costumes because it's also a Halloween party and I'm a beautiful princess and everyone loves me. And wouldn't you know it, right after blowing out my candles I start my period and in a huge way. I'm talking there's a sizable red splotch between my legs and everyone can see it. I cried so hard that I had my Mom send everyone home.

Would you go back in time if you were given the chance? Jacob: I'm guessing I could come back to the future? Also does this mean that I won't change anything? Do I just get to observe the past or am I an active participant? And am I still myself or am I inhabiting someone else’s body? Am I limited to my lifetime and experiences or can I pick other people's? I just have a lot of questions about this question. Sierra: I'm a mixed black girl of a single mother who likes to speak her mind. Going back in time would not end well for me. I'm not an idiot. I'm pretty happy in the present where there are far less people who would treat me like shit. Pablo: Sure. It'd be a hell of an experience. There's a lot of things I'd like to be able to see and put rumors to rest. History books aren't really that reliable anyway. Tamara: Umm I don't really think so? Like, the world we live in now isn't necessarily better in all ways from the past but I like all the conveniences of modern life. Plus, like, I am not about the fashion back in time and you could not pay me to wear most of what was worn back then. Mason: Do I get to pick where I'm going? If so I think there's a lot of things I'd like to see and be a part of if I could be like, famous speeches or seeing the pyramids being built or something. Alyssa: Could I hang out with real princesses? I'd like that. I mean, as long as I get to come back and it doesn't mess up with my life right now then I'm all for a little bit of time travel.

Is it easier to forgive or forget? Jacob: It's easier to forget than forgive, but it's better to forgive than forget. Though, I suppose it depends on how hurt you are. Sierra: For me, forgive. I can remember pretty much everyone who has wronged me and if I don't forgive them... well I'm not going to forget what they did so... it just ends up going on forever. Pablo: Forget. If you really forgive someone you shouldn't bring it up anymore and if you stop bringing something up you'll probably forget it, no? Tamara: I don't know what's easier but always forgive and never forget. After all, people never really change that much. If they're terrible to you once you should remember it to see if it'll happen again and if it does, drop those bitches. Mason: I'd guess it's easier to forgive. You can pick to forgive someone but it's harder to actively make yourself forget something, I'd think. Alyssa: Forget. Forgiving people is really hard, especially if they hurt you. It's something that I struggle with all the time, but if I stop thinking about it... then there's nothing to remember that I had to forgive. Of course, I always require an apology.

Do you believe in soulmates? Jacob: I think so. The world is a large place and sometimes people are just drawn together for what would seem like no reason. I believe there's a bigger plan than all of us and in that plan we all have a person (or more than one, because I don't believe a person has to have a sole soulmate) that we're destined to be with. God's planning and all that. Sierra: If they exist, and I'm not sure they do, they're probably pretty rare. Just because something is real doesn't mean that it's real for everyone. Some people probably have them though. Pablo: No. The idea that everyone has a person they're destined for is a load of treta. People are always changing and have plenty of avenues in life. You've got to pick someone and they have to pick you, you aren't going to be 'drawn together by fate'. Tamara: Yeah. There's a reason why some couples seem to endure everything while others can barely hit a speed bump and fall apart despite seeming to be so in love. I think sometimes people miss their chances with their soulmates though and that sucks for them. You can end up with someone who isn't your soulmate, it just won't be a perfect relationship for you. Mason: This is... it's a big question. I haven't thought about it? Possibly? I don't even really know what the term 'soulmate' means. Maybe two people can be fated to be together? Is that right? Alyssa: Absolutely. You can tell when someone finds theirs because they complete them in the ways that are really important even if it doesn't seem like it to everyone else and there's no real formula as to why so many different couples have different foundations and work out other than that they've got to be soulmates.

Is there anyone you would die for? Jacob: My family and my best friend in any situation. Maybe in some others though I might be able to die for more people. It's all situational though, like, would I step forward to give my life for a kid I don't know and haven't seen? Probably not. If I see a kid about to get flattened by a truck and my choice is watch it or get flattened myself, then probably. Strangers are a complicated matter. Sierra: I... probably not and it sounds terrible because I love so many people and I would do so much for them but I don't know that I could honestly say that I would die for them. That's a lot to ask of someone, especially with the afterlife being so uncertain. Pablo: Santos. There's little I wouldn't do for mi hermanito. That kid has been through so much, he deserves the fullest life possible and if I had to give up mine for that to happen... I think I could do it without any sort of regret. Tamara: Die for? Like, never live again? I don't think there's a situation where I'd need to die for someone else. I'd try and save them but, God, I am far too young to die and I think my family would agree with that thought and respect my efforts to save them. Mason: I don't think so? I'd probably end up hesitating in an actual time when I might need to die for someone. I've never been one to act so much on instinct. Plus, death is a very scary concept and I've got so much I still want to do. Alyssa: Is this a situation where if I die the other person lives unconditionally? Okay, then I think I could die in place of Kenzie. No one else, but I think I could for her because she's the most important person in the world. I really don't want to have to die for her though cause I really, really want to live to be a hot grandma.

What do you do when you're sick? Jacob: Power through, make some soup. Sometimes I get my Mom to make soup because she does it better but there's nothing else to do. If I don't have school or work then I try to sleep it off, but I'm not one for calling in or skipping class if I can avoid it and I'm not disgustingly sick. Sierra: Stay home and watch soap operas on tv. I wear comfy clothes and don't let anyone see me because I'm a total mess when I'm sick. No one wants to see that. I sleep a lot too and if I have to go out before I'm 100% better, I put on a lot of make up and wear something super cute to not let people think I'm awful. Pablo: Take some NyQuil, pass out and hope I'm better the next day. Sometimes I'll call my Mama because she makes excellent sick food and I'll have some of that. Mostly it's the NyQuil though. Tamara: I stay at home in bed and let my parents take care of me. They're quite good at it and we've got lots of movies and stuff to keep me busy when I'm going in and out of sleepiness. I still make sure I look cute if people will be visiting though. Mason: Tell my Mom? She usually knows what kind of medicine I should be taking and makes sure I eat properly. I mostly relax between that stuff though. Alyssa: You can't be sick at the Academy. Let me tell you, you take that non-drowsy bullshit medicine and you get to your damn classes because no one wants to be sick and missing classes. If it's summertime, then I'll let my Dad make me my special sick foods and pass out on the couch.

Are you happy with the way things are? Jacob: Yeah, I've got a really good life when you consider it all. My family is great, my best friend is great, I'm doing well in school and I'm also doing fine at my job. There's no reason for me not to be unhappy. Sierra: Very happy. I love my friends, I love my school, I'm on the swim team and my Mom is probably the best Mom in the entire world. Plus, I don't have to want for much because of that amazing Mom that I have. I wouldn't say no to a boyfriend, but you can't have everything all the time. Pablo: Mostly. There are always things that could be better and I do miss Miami but otherwise... well, I'm happy with my friends, my job and my classes. Plus, I've got a pretty badass social life. Tamara: What do I have to be unhappy about? Like, I'm hot, I'm loved by my family, I've got super fun friends, I've got a lead part in the drama club production and a solo coming up for the choir show. My life is awesome, just like me. Mason: Yes. I suppose my life could be considered average by some, but I'm quite happy with how things are going. I mean, I don't see where anything could improve. Alyssa: I'd be happier if I wasn't being buried alive under homework from my crazy teachers, but if you ignore that then I'm feeling pretty damn glad with what else I've got going on.

If you could pack up and move, would you? Jacob: No. I love New Haven. I had the opportunity to go somewhere else for college and I chose to stay here because I really enjoy the life around here. Plus, I like being close to my parents. Sierra: Only if my Mom was coming with me. Someday I'll probably move but when that time comes I know I'll miss her tons and I'll miss it here too. I don't know if I'll ever permanently settle anywhere else but living somewhere outside of Nashville would be nice. Pablo: Move and settle? Cause I'm all for moving around and seeing new places and all but I don't know about settling. I do think about moving back to Miami a lot but I think I'd want to wait a little bit longer to do so. For now I'm fine with calling Missouri my home base. Tamara: Totally. Surrey is so boring and I'm kind of over Vancouver as well. I mean, I'd much rather go somewhere new and exciting, maybe Toronto or Montreal. Just somewhere new. Like, I'm a bit over BC. Mason: I don't think so. I like my house and my town. Other places might be fun for visiting but I think a life here would be a good one. There's a reason why my parents decided to settle here and not any other town that they might have picked. Alyssa: Yes. Chicago is nice and all but it's not where I see myself living for my whole life, I want somewhere a bit... better I guess. Chicago is so boring.

Truth be told, are you more into looks or personalities the most? Jacob: Personalities. If people are too good looking it's intimidating and I don't know how to talk to them. Actually, I don't know how to talk to most people anyway, add being super attractive to the mix and I'm pretty much dead in the water. Sierra: Looks. I mean, this sounds bad but if I had to pick between someone with an average personality and fantastic looks or a great personality and average looks... I'd go for the looks. I'm sort of shallow, I can't help it. Pablo: Definitely looks. I'm pretty much only looking for hot girls to hook up with either once or on a semi-regular basis. As long as they aren't total putas who cares what they're like? Tamara: Uh, looks. Whoever says personalities is totally lying because we're all interested first and foremost in people who are attractive. Besides, to be good looking doesn't mean you have to have a bad personality. Mason: Personalities. Sometimes when you talk to really cute people they just aren't that interesting but when you talk to people with good personalities, they tend to light up and become more good looking. Maybe I imagine it but it's true. Alyssa: Really? Let's lay it out there, I'm shallow and blah blah blah, I like hot people. If I'm dating someone, they have to be hot, plain and simple. I don't want them to be tools, but I'm not going to date someone who is ugly either.
