Goodbye

Goodbye

Hi everyone,

This will be my last post here on So Effortless. Thank you for all your endless support and motivation to keep this blog going. It has been with me for over half of my degree and I have met so many amazing people through it, I will be forever thankful.

The decision to close So Effortless came with the lack of time to look after it, and also due to its focus, as this was a personal blog about university experiences, and I am finishing university in a weeks time.

Again thank you so much for just being here and reading, it has been a pleasure. The website and Instagram page will be active so you can refer back to it, I just will no longer be monitering it.

For the last time,

Love, Kasia x

First Holiday Of 2021

First Holiday Of 2021

by Kasia x ♥ 0 Leave a Comment

Hi everyone,

It’s been a while since I have done a post here on So Effortless, being busy with university and applying to full-time roles as I finish my degree in about a month… that’s so scary to type! Anyway, I am not going to go into detail about why I have been away, you can see a few of my previous posts on that matter.

Still busy as ever as I am doing the final touches on all assignments now, but I have found time to write the odd small post or two ❤

Today’s post is a photo story, my favourite kind of post! Really insightful into my life and a good way to keep a public diary I suppose. Anyhow, here is my Glamping photo story, I hope you enjoy!

Arriving:

If you don’t know, Glamping means glamourous camping, and for me and my boyfriend, we decided to rent a little rural hut by the lake for 4 nights. We were both excited as this would be our 4th book holiday since the pandemic, but also stressed for this reason as we did not want a 4th holiday cancellation. But we got there in the end with the excitement packed, starting to push away the stress of university for the next week. As you can tell I was very excited about the hot tub, which is very ironic, you will find out later why 😉

The first day:

This was also the arrival day but check-in was at 3pm, so we had some time left of the day, after my boyfriend put some wood in the hot tub fire, we were in as quickly as possible to start relaxing and ended our day with a fire pit and some hot tea in the night.

The second day:

We woke up early, we some breakfast made by yours truly, and got off on a walk around the area. We started our favourite activity of “Oh my God look how nice that house is, I would buy that house, but I would change this”, said hello to the cows on the way and again back in the hot tub for some relaxation.

The third day:

Nothing much was done on this day, this is a holiday after all, just some board games and eating lots of good food. Just one specific detail I am still dealing with today, I got a hot tub rash, no clue how and obviously I won’t show it but trust me, it hurts.

The fourth day:

We took a little trip to the town nearby, look at some farmers market stands and came home for our last night in the hut. We again set up the fire pit, no hot tub of course, and spent the night looking at the stars, being upset that its our last night of course, but we had some visitors!

Going home:

On Friday morning it was time to check out, upset of course but enjoyed the break. Now more than ever in a rush to finish university and get to the next stage of our life.

I hope you have enjoyed this photo story, see you next week for another post!

Stay Safe, Kasia x

A Peak In To My Diary

A Peak In To My Diary

by Kasia x ♥ 0 Leave a Comment

Hi everyone,

On my Instagram last week, I conducted a poll for my followers (find the link on my contacts page to my account), choosing random pages out of a book, which they did not know the reason to. This was to choose the next topic of my blog post, which is this one! Earlier this year I found a book called “Burn after Writing”, its kind of a diary book with questions to prompt your writing, it’s really good for self-reflection so I recommend it. Some of my followers chose which pages (46-47 were chosen mostly) get published with my answers, see below and tell me what you think:

  1. If I could give one thing to a person it would be … I would give my grandparents a trip to France, Paris exactly. My nan has always dreamed of going to Paris but they have never done so, so it is a wish of mine to send them to Paris one day for her dreams to come true.
  2. Things that make me laugh … That would have to be The Big Bang Theory, because I love sitcoms like that, also stand up comedy on Netflix has a spot in my heart, even though most of it is terrible. Another thing would be my dogs; they always do something silly every day that makes me smile.
  3. I secretly envy … most of the skinny influencers on my Instagram feed, but who doesn’t? To have a life like that, for countless surgeries and diets, the dream …
  4. If I could be anywhere in the world right now … I would be in Egypt. This is my dream holiday destination and I always wish to see the pyramids in real life. I even have a little secret goal one day when I go, to take home a small chunk of a pyramid. To some, its just rocks but to me its history that I love.
  5. If I could be a fly on the wall … I would spy on my neighbours to find out what they are always yelling about 😛
  6. My greatest fear … dying. Anyone who knows me personally, and now you, knows that my fear of death is so terrible, mostly at night time when there is nothing else to think about. The worst thing is I don’t even know where it came from, pandemic? Who knows but this only occurred in the last year or so. Also, it’s odd being afraid of something you can’t stop.

I Hope you enjoyed this post, it is a little different than usual but I enjoyed it, let me know if you want me to do this again! Sorry for the late post aswell, I bet you are all sick of hearing my blame it on my dissertation but my fellow students will be able to relate.

Love, Kasia x

21st Birthday

21st Birthday

by Kasia x ♥ 0 Leave a Comment

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to do a quick photo story of my 21st birthday in lockdown and what I managed to get up to. Of course, it was not the birthday I imagined as most will celebrate this year and have last year, but I am grateful for what I got. Missing friends and no big party to attend, we had to make the best of what we had.

I got the ballons I always dreamed of, when I turned 18 I had no big party or anything, so I had always wanted the 18 and 21 ballons the girls have in their Instagram pictures for their birthdays, so I was very happy to see them and many others. We enjoyed some champagne and cake, with the little 21 sparkle candles that made it so much more special. Received lots of nice gifts and cards, even all the way from the south of the UK from my best friend, who unfortunately I could not see.

Heres to 21, many more adventures, happiness, achievements and getting rid of this damn pandemic! Let’s see what this chapter holds.

My Experience Of Taking In A Stray

My Experience Of Taking In A Stray

by Kasia x ♥ 0 Leave a Comment

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to share with you my experience of taking in a stray dog and what has happened over the month of having her in my home. Maybe it might convince you to try adopting a stray too after you hear someone else’s experiences.

Mortishia is nearly 2 years old (we think) and her story is that she was found in a cornfield in the middle of now where in the countryside in Poland, probably dumped by someone, and she was walking around alone for nearly 9 months. People in the area saw her and fed her sometimes, but she was terrified of them so always kept her distance. The lady who we got her from was notified and it took her 3 months to catch her as she was so sneaky! They had many vet visits to attend as she was not in a very good state, but once finished, she was on the way to us here in the UK.

She arrived on the 17th Decemeber, which we will treat as her birthday, via a pet bus transport which took 2 days! Once she arrived we signed the relevant paperwork, payed for the transport and she was ours for keeping.

When she was first alone with us, she ran and hid behind an armchair we have in the living room, under the beds, would not sit still etc, she was terrified of us which we understood completely. We were all so upset as we wondered what could have been done to this dog that she was so afraid of people. It was also time for her first bath, as being in a crate in the pet bus for 2 days was not the best, the workers were not allowed to take her out as she has a history of running away. She didn’t struggle at all, probably due to fear, and we popped her down into her new doggy bed in my room by my bed, where is now always sleeps.

The first week she wouldn’t really move out of her bed, but gradually I would hear her play with her toys and walk around and sniff the room when the lights were off and no one was watching, but as soon as the lights are turned on she would go back to her bed. She now moves all around, but it is still clear that she is battling with herself inside her mind and does not fully trust us, i.e. she will come to the living room for a minute and then run away back on to the stairs again where she feels safe.

She is more trusting now, but still has her own issues, i.e. she won’t eat if someone is watching her. My dogs eat in the kitchen, but she has not got to that stage yet, we started at my room and now she is eating on the stairs so we are getting there!

We also noticed she is terrified of men, my dad and Dawid have a hard time being with her as she just runs away, which again leads us to think whoever hurt her must have been a man, again another thing we need to work on.

There are many things that still need to be done, for example we can’t really take her on a walk right now because she might run away, she is terrified of cables and small bangs, the hairdryer and vacuum in particular, shes not fully house trained yet and is not fond of making eye contact. These are all things that will come with time, she has still made a lot of progress in a month, more than we thought she would!

Thank you for reading this post on my experience with my first stray, honestly, if you are considering taking on a stray, you need to do some research on it, make sure you will have the time as they are kind of like babies and really be ready for anything!

Love, Kasia x

Christmas Tag

Christmas Tag

by Kasia x ♥ 0 Leave a Comment

Hello everyone,

Sorry I disappeared for a while, had lots of work to do and just did not feel the inspiration, I am also planning a break over the Christmas period, but I will as always be active on my Instagram. Now, I thought as everyone liked my Halloween Tag so much, a Christmas tag is in order to be done, answers should be interesting as I am not much of a Christmassy person but here goes! Enjoy!

What’s your favourite Christmas Movie?

Does Nightmare Before Christmas count? Haha, probably not. I don’t really have a favourite, but if I had to pick one it would be The Grinch because I am the grinch 😉 and I just love the story behind it. P.S. I hate Home Alone, judge me all you want I think its sooooo annoying.

Have you ever had a white Christmas?

Yes, as a child when I still lived in Poland, it was common, snow up to my head when I was 5, but in the UK not so much, not sure why we had so much snow but I would kill to see it again as I love snow, only had it in the UK a few times when I was 8 and 9 but never again unfortunately 😦

Where do you usually spend your holiday?

At home with my parents, as I still live with them but this will most likely be the last Christmas like this as when I graduate me and my boyfriend are planning to move out, so I am not sure how we will be diving family time then but I will be sure to let you know in my next Christmas tag!

What is your favourite Christmas song?

I don’t really have one, again probably due to my lack of much interest in Christmas, but I used to have one as a kid, “Mistletoe” by Justin Bieber. Don’t hate on me I was 14 and in love, and I had pure hate for the main actress in the video as many girls did then 😛

Do you open any presents on Christmas Eve?

Me and my family do simply because in Poland we do the whole Christmas dinner and presents on Christmas eve and then see family and invite people over on the 25th, so yes I do due to tradition. Not sure why but every time I say this to someone they are shocked, is it really that unusual?

Can you name all of Santa’s reindeer?

Not a chance 😛 But I can name all of the characters in most Halloween movies if you ask me.

What holiday traditions are you looking forward to this year?

Normally, I would be looking forward to seeing my grandparents as normally during this time they fly in from Poland so we can spend Christmas together, but due to COVID they are not coming this year, so something I will be looking forward to is at least seeing them on video call 🙂

Is your Christmas tree real or fake?

Fake, we used to get real ones all the time but my mom has gone crazy with the idea of glitter and fake snow on the tree so our Tesco tree is going strong for a 2nd year coming now.

What is your all time favourite holiday treat/food/sweet?

My mom makes this cheesecake with gingerbread in it, honestly I could eat it all year round, and shes adamant on only making it during Christmas time so time to make 4 batches!

Be honest, do you like giving or receiving gifts better?

Giving obviously! I love seeing peoples faces light up when the gift you give shows that you have put thought and effort in to it, honestly my favourite feeling.

What is the best Christmas present you ever received?

I got the best telescope ever when I was a child because I was so into space, still waiting for someone to beat that one.

What would be your dream place to visit for the holiday season?

New York, this is always top for me and my boyfriend to go one day during winter time. We just love the idea of going to America one day and during this time it would just be the ultimate dream!

Are you a pro present wrapper or do you fail miserably?

I used to see myself as an OK wrapper until my best friend put me to shame, she wraps things with such effort and care, my gifts look like the dog wrapped them next to hers.

Most memorable Christmas moment?

Is it sad I don’t really have one? Obviously every Christmas is great and filled with happiness but nothing ever really stands out for me, still have time to change that though 🙂

What made you realise the truth about Santa?

I was about 10 and found all the gifts in the storage section under the stairs. I was not even upset because I had a feeling for a while he was not real, I was just happy to find the gifts! So happy I wrote in my diary where my parents hide them to know for next year 🙂

What makes the holidays special for you?

Just having family and friends over and getting some time off to reflect on the year and really rest, also the food!

I hope you enjoyed my little Christmas tag, I challange @simplyeverything to do this one, her answers will be much better than mine as she is a Christmas nut so make sure to check it out! I will be sure to update you on my Christmas break in the update section of the blog and my Instagram, until then stay safe!

Love, Kasia x

My COVID Experience

My COVID Experience

by Kasia x ♥ 2 Comments

Hi everyone,

As the pandemic is growing bigger and bigger every day, with more infections all over the world, this new normal is growing to be scarier than any of us imagined. As I am now currently in a second lockdown in the UK, my family were personally affected by Covid, me and my dad both had it a couple of weeks ago as I am writing this. There is a lot of media panic about this pandemic and many untrusted info sources spreading misleading details, so I thought it would be beneficial to share my experiences of having Covid 19, what I went through, what my parents went through and how to carry on keeping safe.

Me and my family continuously follow Covid rules, so we did not contract it by not wearing masks or not washing our hands, my dad simply caught it from a colleague at work. He is a mechanical engineer so they can’t wear masks while working and sometimes it is hard keeping social distance. So first tip, keep in mind even though you might be following all the rules, stay cautious, as you may still be able to get the virus. My dad brought it home, got sick, then I got sick and the 2-week isolation began.

I will discuss my dads experiences later on, as he is 40+ so he went through it differently to me, but first I wanted to explain my symptoms to you, as a 20 year old, who is completely healthy:

  1. Coughing: This was the first to come, one day I went to bed with a sore throat and three days later it was fully developed. It was never so excessive that I couldn’t stop coughing or I couldn’t breathe, but sometimes I would feel heaviness in my lungs.
  2. Breathing: This was common in the middle of my illness, normally I would be fine and breathe as I usually do, but if I used the stairs, for example, I would have to sit on my bed for 5 mins after to catch my breath. Not the best again, but it could have been worse.
  3. Tiredness: I felt very fatigued during the whole illness, just had very little energy, I still did university work and attended online lessons the whole time, but I found some days to be very tiring, going to bed at 8 pm for example.
  4. Loss of taste and smell: This came in the second week of being ill, it was more annoying than painful or difficult, I would eat and not feel anything, it was frustrating. It made me discouraged from eating really, works oddly on your brain mentality when you don’t really know what you are eating, but slowly I got it back nearing the end of the week.

These were the only symptoms I had, no temperature, nothing else. My illness was not as bad as my dads but I still did not feel 100% obviously, this just proves that being young and healthy does not give you immunity like some believe. You should still watch out for yourselves regardless. I tried to take off as much time as possible, as I was working on assignments at the time and did not really want to take extensions if possible, but still made sure to rest and look after myself.

(Doggy representation of how I felt because I looked too awful to take selfies)

There were not many things that helped, as commonly know, it’s just a case of sitting it out and resting through it. I did drink Lemsip and take paracetamol if I felt very weak or stuffy, but that was just a short term solution when I had my worse 2 days during the whole illness, where I generally felt bad and just stayed in bed, but no different to a common cold or virus.

My dad on the other hand, as mentioned, had a more difficult time getting through it, taking him nearly over 3 weeks to fully recover. Age does make a remarkable difference while getting through Covid as I have seen it personally, a 20-odd age difference between us and I can tell he felt worse than me by just looking at him. He slept all the time, did not want to eat, had a temperature, coughing, breathing difficulty etc. It just made me think that if he feels like this, I would not like to see what a grandparent would feel like or someone who is elderly. Oddly enough, my mom did not get Covid at all or went through it without symptoms, she was with us for the whole month of being ill and all she got was a rash on her neck, which I have heard that this is something that can happen when going through it symptomless.

All this just proves that anyone can get it and it is so varied for everyone, there is not a simple checklist we can put together of what everyone and anyone will go through. We all need to look out for one another and our selves, keep following the guidelines and distance as much as possible, regardless of how tired we are of it. The news about the vaccine is amazing and I do hope, like many, that we can get access to it asap.

I hope you have enjoyed my post on my Covid experience, and it gave you an insight into what someone my age goes through during the illness. Me and my dad are planning to go give blood to help others who are not as lucky as us during experiencing Covid, If you can and have been through the illness after 28 days, go to the NHS website and see if you can too. We have to stick together.

Love, Kasia x

Halloween: Through The Ages

Halloween: Through The Ages

by Kasia x ♥ 0 Leave a Comment

Thought I would do a short and small photo story for Halloween as I did the tag not long ago 🙂 As many of you know, Halloween is my favourite holiday, I just love spooky stuff! This love of mine has been around since childhood so I figured to do a little photo story of my Halloween outfits throughout my life, enjoy!

All the way back:

Alllllll the way in the beginning, with my innocent childhood obsession, I think this was 2009? We love a good witch dress up, most popular back then and as you can see I took it very seriously, even left my teddy behind. Of course also had to have my little sidekick pumpkin with me, if I dressed up the dogs did too!

Further down:

Still as serious as ever, just had dad to help with the facepaint, I had 2 costumes over 2 days, I remember all that sugar, no way I could handle it all now! This time around it was Leos turn to be my protective sidekick on my trick or treating ways, the little devil!

Getting creative:

Skipping some time ahead, at 15 I started getting crafty myself with makeup and costumes, I tried my hardest as you can tell, concentration levels high as ever, I think I still did pretty good, soon after this, I was taking my boyfriend sister trick or treating so I knew I couldn’t mess up!

Clubbing time:

Now was the time to finally take my looks to an adult night out! the first Halloween at university, we went to a club that was styled inside of an old church, just to add to the creepy vibe, safe to say I enjoyed it and never went back there, you know me, such a clubber 😉

Now:

And were here! A little boring this year but were in a pandemic, I don’t have the energy, also still recovering from coronavirus sooooo give me a break, blue hair will do 😛

I hope you enjoyed looking at my looks through different ages, I know I enjoyed being in every one of them, happy Halloween, remember the sweet calories do count and be safe!

October Sum Up

October Sum Up

by Kasia x ♥ 3 Comments

Hi everyone,

Wanted to do the sum up a bit earlier this month as I have a post planned for the 31st, and also I don’t feel amazing currently so I am trying to write whenever I have the chance, but more on that later. October, like many months in 2020, has been odd and all about getting used to now the new normal, with a few hiccups along the way, but we are here yet again, which means it could have been worse!

To start of the month, before local lockdowns in my area started, I decided to get a little friend to come along with me on the journey of uni stress, covid and general life. So again off I was to pets at home and welcomed little Sahsa into my life ❤ She’s adorable and after sending Pickle back to my best friend, I could not last without a little hammy in the house, at first she was a little sceptical about being held etc but she has gained some trust to us now, loves to play and is excited to be out and about around us in the house. At the same time, my boyfriend got a hamster too, a Syrian, and is in the midst of training him too, he’s a bit more jumpy so well see how that goes.

At the start of October, me and my dad started swimming again, taking advantage of the pools being open and such. We worked quite consistently with it until we both got sick but hey, no one is stopping us from going again after we are past this illness unless we go into lockdown, but that’s the only thing! I enjoyed it as I like exercising in this way much more than going to the gym, it just finding the time for it in this busy schedule as always.

Also managed to get out on to a little date night before my sickness too, for dinner and a movie, which seems to come in hard these days as we both noticed that we have very little time for anything, even each other, during uni times, so we are trying to keep on top of that too. Everything was empty though, the restaurant and the cinema, probably due to fear of the virus and frugal spending now, which I understand, but it was odd being in an environment that is usually so busy, so quiet.

University, as probably mentioned in Septembers sum up, is in full speed, with all lessons and tasks taking over all day time for me. There is now more work on my dissertation being done, which is again stressful, I have never done an assignment so important in my life before so there is a lot of pressure, but also I find it enjoyable in a way as this is something that I am completely in charge of, it’s my research, I make the restrictions and rules, so exciting but nerve recking. The one upside for me is no presentations and exams this whole year, so thanks Covid, the only good thing you have done so far.

So having October be okayish is fine by me, but at the end of October it went all downhill from there, my dad brought home the rona from work. I know, daunting, but something we have to deal with, its been nearly 2 weeks now and he is still a bit ill and not 100% so we are still stuck at home. Then I got it a week later, well I think I did, I have, not left the house since he got sick and now I’m sick so its the only explanation really, I am awaiting test results but 99% sure I do. My symptoms are not that bad, all the typical ones, except a really runny nose, but I am well enough to sit here and write this for you, so it can’t be that bad. Everyone is different though and I count myself lucky to be going through it so smoothly. The only big boo I have is I had to cancel my Halloween plans with my boyfriend, boo, but it’s all for the sake of safety!

I hope you have enjoyed my post on the October Sum Up, not an exciting month, lots of stress and illness, lets hope for a better November! Keeping up with friends and having uni on my mind has been good, keeping the mind active. The only big good thing this month is my nan hit 70 yesterday! All in good health too. Also, writing may not be the best quality, as I get better so will it so be patient with me!

Halloween Tag

Halloween Tag

by Kasia x ♥ 2 Comments

Hi all!

It has come to my attention, that tags have resurfaced and are becoming popular again, and with the information from my best friend Simply Everything, I have decided to try it out myself. I have always been a huge Halloween geek so this is my time to shine! Enjoy!

  • What is your favourite halloween song?

Definitely the Nightmare Before Christmas “This is Halloween” Best song to listen to and just gets me in the spirit! Any song from that movie is my favourite pretty much.

  • What is something you wouldn’t want to meet in an abandoned building or dark forest?

Anything! even if I saw another person I would freak out. You have the obvious anything supernatural, but I think it would be even stranger to find another person there.

  • Have you ever played with a Ouija board?

No, But my mom has always wanted to get one, I am 50/50 on this, I don’t know if I want to play with that side of the world, but at the same time, I am curious, yet terrified.

  • Who is your favourite horror monster/villain?

My favourite would be Jack from the Nightmare before Christmas, my absolutely favourite film, I love all the Tim Burton films really, and all his characters, Corpse Bride would also have to be one of my favourites.

  • What is the creepiest thing that ever happened while you were alone?

I used to live in a house that was about 1 street away from the cemetery, not only was I constantly sick through the 2 years that we lived there, but all sorts of family drama and tragedies happened. But also we had lots of things disappear or just general odd sounds that were not normal. We used to joke and say it was my great grandmother but in that house, in particular, the joke was too common.

  • You are dared to spend the night in a haunted house, do you go?

How much are you paying me? 😀 No, I probably would but not alone, maybe with my boyfriend or friends but never alone.

  • Are you superstitious?

Superstition in terms of black cats and ladders, no, I think its all silly and it is incredibly annoying to me when I do something and someone shouts “that’s bad luck!” No, it’s not, stop believing nonsense. After death wise, I am not religious by any means but I find comfort in the idea that maybe there is something later on? That might be my way if getting a good nights rest, thinking of the afterlife in this way.

  • Do you ever see figures in your peripheral vision?

I have definitely seen a figure or heard a voice and such before but never anything to stick with me forever, I don’t specifically remember a big event when this happened but I know I have felt such experiences before.

  • Which urban legend scares you the most?

When I was young, I feel old saying that now, we had a lot of trail messages, ie “if you don’t send this to 10 other people your mom will die” sort of thing, but never an actual proper urban legend, truth is I don’t think they are that popular anymore so this is not so common.

  • Do you prefer gore or thrillers?

Thrillers definitely, they are just more enjoyable I think. Seeing gore and guts just puts me off, I will watch one if I have to or in the mood to but this is not something that happened often.

  • Do you believe in multiple dimensions or worlds?

If you say no to this question then you are narcissistic. We cannot be the only things alive in the universe and beyond, think about it.

  • Ever made a potion?

A mud one as a child? yes. One to curse a person? No, but I wish I could.

  • Do you get scared easily?

Most of my fears come from anxiety so it’s just a general feeling for me but scared by spooky things, not really if I know its coming. If I don’t then prepare to hear a good scream and a lot of cursing.

  • Have you every played Bloody Mary?

Yes, nothing happened, but never again because then I couldn’t sleep for a week. My poor 14-year-old self regrets this very much. I still feel if I did it now I would be more scared though.

  • Do you believe in demons/the devil?

Maybe? I don’t know, again its another topic of the afterlife with I am not sure about as most.

  • You’re home alone but you hear footsteps in the house, what do you do?

Decide if I am hearing things, run, hide, call the police, call my mom? I am not sure, I think I would have to be in the situation. Usually, if I do hear something like this I get prepared to fight, grab a book or something like that, although that won’t do much damage its the effort that counts right?

  • If you got trapped in one scary movie which one would you choose?

Corpse bride! Looks like lots of fun in a way, other than the being dead and getting killed at your own wedding thing.

  • If you could only wear one halloween costume for the rest of your life what would it be?

A sheet, a white one, so I can be a ghost, its comfort, fashion and easy to get in and out of, and I can sleep in it!

  • Would you go to a graveyard at night?

I am very much about respecting the dead and not touching their resting place, also living next to one as I said before, I would stay away.

  • Would you rather go to a halloween party or trick-or-treating?

Trick or treating definitely! I am not a fan of parties, and I used to go all the time as a child so I have fond memories of this, also free sweets, you would be crazy not to go!

  • You’re in a horror movie, which trope are you?

The one who tries to be logical and do all the right things but is the first to die because she is too smart for her own good. Yep, sounds like me.

  • Do you have to watch something happy after a horror movie?

Something funny on Youtube, probably some sims videos as this is what I do in my free time, I like gaming videos the most overall so this gets me out of the spooky mindset.

  • Whilst watching scary movies are you the person yelling at the characters, the person with their eyes covered or the one asleep?

The first two mostly, I am also always the one to ask questions to anyone who is watching the movie with me. It’s not like their going to know what’s going to happen as much as me but it’s worth a shot, right?

  • Are you the scarer or the scare-e?

Both, but I get really mad if someone scares me but then I see it to be okay when I do it to someone, a double standard, so don’t ever scare me 😉

  • What is your favourite horror book?

Not much of a horror more of a thriller, I love all the Dexter books, love the show too, even named my dog after it.

  • How old were you when you saw your first horror movie?

No clue, I was always exposed to horror and thriller films as a child so my first one might have been at 10-11 years of age, my parents like horror and I always wanted to watch it with them.

  • What was your first halloween costume?

My parents are not a fan of Halloween so I cannot remember as I did not do it often, but the closest I can remember is a witch, the easy to go to.

  • What are you going to be for halloween this year?

A sleepy young adult with a crammed head and a caffeine addiction.

  • If you could have a spooky pet what would it be?

The bone dog from corpse bride, very cute and fitting for me in the afterlife I feel.

I hope you have enjoyed looking through my answers just as much as I enjoyed answering the questions! If you are a Halloween fan like me, please take a shot at this and tag me, has definitely put me in the spirit for October 31st!

Love, Kasia x
