21 Random Facts about this Twenty-Something Year Old
I always have trouble talking about myself without “just cause”. Since yesterday was my birthday, the cause couldn’t be more just. Here are 21 completely random things you more than likely did not know about me.
1. I’m 5’1.
The world thinks I’m short, but I say my height is perfectly normal.
2. I am a morning person…
I’m usually up at 4am.
3. But I think sleep is the most beautiful thing in the world.
It really is.
4. My Myers-Briggs type is ISTJ.
I think it’s pretty darn accurate.
5. I am a Gryffindor.
I’ve never really paid attention to what it entails, but Pottermore, Buzzfeed, and a series of random online quizzes seem to agree on this.
6. My favourite colour is grey.
Followed by burgundy.
7. My favourite season is Autumn.
It would have been Spring, if not for the awful smell of fresh grass.
8. I am a Christian.
I’m on a journey towards unwavering faith.
9. I am a feminist.
I try to live it, instead of just saying it.
10. Mulan was my childhood hero.
I don’t know what it was about her…
11. I don’t know how to ride a bicycle.
I don’t know if I ever will.
12. I want to live in Singapore.
Just for a while.
13. My favourite food is anything that involves dodo.
Dodo is Nigerian speak for fried plantains.
14. I drink hot chocolate every morning.
Blame my mum. She did this to me.
15. I’ve been wearing glasses for over half of my life.
12 years and counting.
16. I talk to myself a lot.
Noone can hold a conversation like I can.
17. I dislike Wednesdays.
I know Mondays are the worst for most people, but Wednesdays take the cake for me.
18. I don’t like shopping.
It stresses me out.
19. I write in all caps.
Lots of people don’t seem to notice.
20. My favourite punctuation marks are commas and semi colons.
Do I really need to defend myself.
21. I watch dog-grooming videos on YouTube for fun.
It’s a more recent development, but I have no regrets.
Do we have anything in common?

Oh happy late birthday!!!!!!! This is a cool way to celebrate. 🙂
Wow, you don’t like fresh grass? XD I think it smells nice. Though I wouldn’t want a candle or perfume flavor of it or anything. XD
Oh I’m a Christian too! 😀 <3 And a feminist. And Mulan is pretty great. And I've never learned to ride a real bike either. O.o I'm so glad I'm not the only one cuz I've been pretty embarrassed and secretive about it. XD I've worn glasses for a long time too, but this year will only have been 9 years for me. 🙂
Great post! 😛

Thank you!
Yeah, lots of people seem to like the smell, which is interesting to me 😅
Don’t be embarrassed, we’re more than you think who don’t know how to ride. People say it’s easy to learn, though. I’m just not that interested 🤷🏾♀️
Thank you for reading ❤

Happy late birthday, dear !! xx
I absolutely love to read thoses random facts about bloggers!! Though I have so much trouble just coming out with mine ahaha — I feel like they’d be all kind of not interesting? 😅
Although I need to wake up at 545 almost every morning for work.. im so NOT a morning person .. but I also have insomnia xD so I don’t typically can sleep before 1-2am.. which leave me few hours of sleep. Even if I wanted to, I just can’t sleep too early as i’d wake around midnight and can’t sleep anymore. Which is pretty problematic ahah
I’ve ALSO been wearing glasses most of my life !! I started wearing them at 5 when I entered kindergarten … i’m 25- so roughly 19 years (One year I broke my glasses trying to fix them and got a year without them thinking I was healed — NOPE 🤦🏽♀️)
Omg, I put semi colons ALL THE TIME! Just semi-coloning everything ahaha you may have seen it in my posts.. i’m way too aware of it, and then well, of course I write them.. ahah
Ibukun
Thank you! I’m sure it’ll be interesting if you write one.
10pm is my usual bedtime, so I can’t imagine the struggle with regular insomnia. I stopped wearing glasses for a while, too because I can see without them. But the pain was real 😅

Wow 4 am! I can’t even imagine getting up that early. I need coffee just to wake up and be functional. Fellow glasses wearer here so I know the struggle 🙂
Ibukun
I try to sleep earlier to compensate! The glasses struggle is real, though

I definitely think Wednesdays are just as evil as Mondays, they taunt you like ‘haha think your week is going quickly?!’ Also four AM?! So impressive omg lol that’s still night for me.
Ibukun
Yep! My internal clock somehow wakes me up at that time every day.
