“What makes you happy?”

            There is a lot of things that make me happy like basketball, collecting shoes, hanging out with friends but the thing that makes me happy the most is my family. I am always happy with my family no matter if we argue because we all love each other and we always there for someone no matter what. 

          My family makes me happy because we will always have a good time even if we don't for out or just stay at home we will always have a good time. As i said before basketball makes me happy because when I was young I fell in love with the game and I tried other sports but I never enjoyed the other sports. Basketball makes me happy because happy because I have a passion for it even if I have my ups and down with it, basketball will always make me happy because I want to go to the pros. Collecting shoes is something that makes me happy because the shoes I get are mostly are for basketball and it is just something that I sticked with since I was in middle school. It makes me happy because I know that sneakers is very hyped now and I just want to collect more because it is fun and it makes me happy. 

        Also hanging out with m friends makes me happy because just like my family my friends and I always have a good time together because we know what we all like and what we like to do. Also we will never have a bad time with each other because we will always have something to do like playing sports, video games, or going to the beach or pool we will always have a good time. 

       All of these things will make me happy because no matter what I will always have a good time with it because it is fun to do or be with and it will always make me happy even if I had bad day these things will always cheer me up.

Villanova University

“What sets your heart on fire?”

Founded in 1842, this private university is the oldest Catholic university in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania. It was named for Saint Thomas of Villanova, but we’d advise against answering in any way that may suggest he sets your heart ablaze. That’s just …awkward.

University of Virginia

“To tweet or not to tweet?”

“What’s your favorite word and why?”

“Describe one of your quirks and why it is part of who you are.”

Located in Charlottesville, VA, this public university was conceived and designed by U.S. President Thomas Jefferson. We cannot help but wonder, which side of the “tweet” or “not to tweet” spectrum do you think he’d land?

Texas Christian University

“Take a blank sheet of paper. Do with this page what you wish. Your only limitations are the boundaries of this page. You don’t have to submit anything, but we hope you will use your imagination.”

This optional “assignment” from the university, located in Forth Worth, TX, must leave a blank stare on students faces all the time. Who else wonders what types of submissions (and how many paper airplanes) they get?
