do you think any of the class 1A members would be fans of edm, or electronic music in general?

for sure!!!! mina would love anything she can dance to and i think she would totally be into kandi! 

i think kaminari would be into electronic music as well [insert a quirk pun here] and ojiro’s favorite band is probably smth like imagine dragons lmao

@iamwanting asked about electro swing and for that genre i think iida, mina, and aoyama would like it!

shinsou’s not in 1-a (yet) but he would like LCD soundsystem for sure

i think jirou is probably a bit of a purist when it comes to her personal music tastes but she doesn’t mind listening to electronic music!

I Am Wanted -

It is hard to love yourself because of social media constantly showing us how brilliant other people are… Therefore, I found it incredibly difficult to find something I admire about myself or something amazing about me! But I eventually found two points that I really do find to be lovely about me :)

• I love my ability to retain information, I may not be the most intelligent student in my class but I love to learn and understand everything about the world around me so I think that ability really helps me be myself! • And also, I love how trustworthy and mature I’ve been my whole life. I like how people can always count and believe in me in tough situations. Sometimes it’s a lot of pressure to live up to, but in the end I’m grateful because it’s made me more mature and given me purpose and at 17 years old, I’m not sure many people can say that!

Thank you for reading! I’m really looking forward to this next book and can’t wait to read it ❤️

Dear Jennifer Niven,

I was 11 when I first saw her. At that point in any eleven year-old's life, I should somehow be plotting some genius masterplan to win my parents back against the new girl in my mother's arms. That new girl who everyone just laid eyes on but already had all the attention the minute that my parents jumped for joy at the two lines shown by a small device which to me, back then, seemed like just another weird-looking thermometer. That new girl who's still just a stranger but was already dearly loved. I can tell by the way they were both looking at her, the way their eyes shone with tears of unexplainable happiness, the way my mother - MY mother - was holding her as if she were to be crowned queen someday. That new girl who ruined my chances of getting everything I want and being the only shining star in my parents' night sky yet she didn't even know us. She didn't even know how she had hurt my mother with back pains and drove her to crankiness all the time. Instead, I looked at her. No. I stared at her, in complete awe and silence. I touched one of her tiny hands and when I decided to mask how mesmerized I was to my parents, I asked them, "who is she?" Which was a dumb thing to do. They laughed. I did, too, because I know who exactly she is. And my parents know, no questions needed. They know she was the one I've been waiting for and kept wishing and praying to God for. Who else could she be, other than the sister I kept writing to Santa for, thinking one Christmas morning a girl would show up in a huge red and green sock outside my bedroom window and ask me to play with her? For eleven years, I've been an only child. I can't even begin to explain how sad that was. Rainy nights without someone I could hide with under the blankets. Lonely afternoons playing by myself. No one to braid or laugh with and share silly theories I've come up with as a kid. Eleven years I've been just Batman. Just Dora. Just Spongebob. Just Elsa. Can you imagine macaroni without cheese? That was my life until she came into the scene. Everything went from good to perfect. I don't have an idea how she does it, but I'm thankful she does. Now that she's here, my life went from all-about-me to all-about-us. Me and her against the world. Well, the fairytale can't go on forever because this is real life and that going through teenage years could break someone, including me. It was difficult, what with all the thoughts eating me up and everything else feeling like hands around my neck but I could say I won because I'm still here, happy and willing to go on. That is, because of her. She is a living, breathing reminder that I should be someone for her to look up to, not the one haunting her dreams at night. I should be there for her and take care of her because I'm her older sister. I should set an example and stop her in case she might want to run away. I should teach her math, answer her questions about our mysterious life, tell her pieces of advice she will need and be her best friend (because what are sisters for?) What sort of sick f--k am I to ruin that? She needs me as much as I need her and I know that with each other's backs, we could go through this hell of a life without so much a burn. She is the stars, the brightest places in the darkness that almost swallowed me. It's funny that when I was 11, I had no idea that my sister would mean so much more than just a playmate or a partner-in-crime or a thunder buddy. I never knew she could make my whole universe as lovely as it is now. @jenniferniven 💜

What Makes Me Lovely

My eyes, soft brown most days, but others, verging on hazel and even bright green. My eyelashes are soft and just long enough. I like my hair most days, because it’s usually silky and although it’s sometimes wavy, I think the way it changes day by day is lovely. My natural skin color is caramelly-based, and I love the way it feels warm and radiates gold after a long day in the sunshine. My ability to write, which I am told constantly by others is amazing, which I sometimes underestimate but love to use as a way to sculpt and shape at least a tiny portion of the world around me. My compassion and kindness. My patience and child-at-heart mannerism. The way I feel when I look up and see stars and feel infinite, or the way I feel on those rare, rare moments when you’re with friends doing the simplest thing, but you could live and laugh in them forever. 

I challenge all of my followers to try this. There is so much self-hate and it can be difficult to acknowledge all of the beautiful, amazing things that make YOU lovely. So, please tag me in a post where you acknowledge all the loveliest things about yourself. I would love to see them, because you’re all so beautiful. 

Let’s make the world a little lovelier.

A few days ago @jenniferniven told us to write something about someone we love but I’m going to write about this lovely people in my life that forever changed me for good and make me feel wanted.

To my parents: “You make me lovely, and it’s so lovely to be lovely to the one I love.” Thank you for your wise advices, for giving me the best in life, for never letting me quit my dreams and for making me feel LOVED. You’re all I could ever ask for, without you, I’m sure I wouldn’t be the person I am today.💕

To my brother: “Sometimes there’s beauty in the tough words, it’s all in how you read them.” Nicolás, my chubby cheeked little buddy, my partner in crime, thank you for always finding a way to make me laugh even though I’m angry or sad, thanks for your innocent teasing, you’re my Sun and my rain forming a beautiful rainbow in my life✨

To my cousin: “You’re all the colours in one, at full brightness.” Nancy, you’re such a beautiful human being, you’re always there for me, always listening, always making the best out of the blue, and you’re the person who knows me the best because you’ve been by my side since you were born. I thank God that I've had the opportunity to share unique and incredible experiences with you.💜

To my friends: “The thing I realize is that it’s not what you take, it’s what you leave.” Girls, thank you for for always holding up the universe with me, for making me laugh until my stomach hurts, for making me forget about my worries and for making silly things with me, I’m sure I’m lucky for having you as sisters from another mister, because without you I think my high school years wouldn’t have been as incredible as they have been with you.🎈

To my Mom, who had undergone a successful surgery this morning. Thankfully the diagnosis was benign and she’s in recovery! She is the strongest person I look up to, raising 5 kids is no joke. Thank you for being our bright place and holding up our universe❤ Xx

Never Noted

When I was young, I wanted to be a princess. I wanted to wear thousands of glittery dresses, sleep in a comfy canopied bed, wear a gilded crown, have an enormous garden, eat luxurious food, and be loved by millions of people. But now that I grew up, I realized I had more than a princess could have. Our family was not financially rich, but we were together. My parents did everything they could to give what my brother and I wanted. You see, I never really noted how my mother did not order food every time we eat outside. I never really noted how she would just eat the food we leave on our plates. I never really noted how many times she told us she was not hungry when in fact, she has not eaten anything. I never really noted how my mother has always been there for us. While some people say “Okay, so… tell me. I’ll listen” while typing on their phones, my mother says “Where are you? I’ll go there,” or “Come here.” I never noted how selfless my mother was. She does everything she can to send me and my brother to school even when it means living away from us and doing it all by herself. When I was young, I also never really noted how my father ran after a guy who was peddling teddy bears just to stop me from crying. I never really noted how he made us laugh when he gave us totally random and silly stuff. My mother would always giggle whenever she caught my father secretly handing me and my brother the cube-like necklaces with assorted lights that he used to buy. I never really noted how my father would go home with story books that he encouraged me to read and color. I never noted how loved I was (and still am). I never noted how much I had. Ma, you are an amazing person. I may not be living with you, but I know someday we will live together again like we used to. I really miss you. Pa, I know we will never meet again. Don’t worry about us. I hope you are fine in heaven. I miss you as well. So bad.

Love, Rachel

You are lovely You are gold You are sunshine You are amazing, far more than you know. I miss you now that you're miles away, But I know that our friendship will never fade. Thank you for the fun and cray cray adventures, All our wanderings despite the gloomy weather. I'll never forget it all, all the happiness and love you've left in my heart, And I hope these memories will live on even if we're apart. Continue to create, my dearest Charm, In this universe, I see you as the brightest star✨ @charmeasdftgl I miss you😭💞 @jenniferniven #HoldingUptheUniverse #IamWanted

#IAmWanted #HoldingTheUniverse

I have a friend who I look up to and think very highly of. She is someone who I actually respect. She's modest yet conceited at the same time. She's crazy yet calm. She likes to joke and has a certain way of telling me that she loves me. When you need her she's there. She has many great qualities, the best thing about her though is she knows where she stands and reminds you that you are a person. That you are needed, and that you are lovely. The truth though is that she is the lovely-ist of them all. #IAmWanted #HoldingUptheUniverse

I fell in love with the colour of your eyes. How gold they are in the winter, and how green they are in the summer. I fell in love with the way you say my name, the way you make it sound like it's the most beautiful word in the world. I fell in love with your touch. How one single touch set my soul on fire. I fell in love with your laugh, where you would laugh so much and then stop to just smile so brightly at me. I fell in love with the way you want to live, to experience the world and to embrace it. I fell in love with who you are, inside and out. I fell in love with you. I love you so much that "to the moon and back" seems like a shortcut. Further than the moon. 'I love you to the moon and back.’ One of the most overused and underwhelming phrases lovers have ever came across. To me, to describe my love for you, the moon isn’t enough. I don’t love you to the moon and back, and you are not my sun and stars because if I look at the sky right now, I can’t see nearly as many stars as you deserve. And you are not the sun because how terrifying would it be, if I could no longer look at you? If I couldn’t get near enough to touch you? It'd hurt. And before I say anything more, no, we won’t get matching key chains with ‘to the moon and back’ stamped on them, from a factory that makes thousands more. Because to the moon and back is no longer special. It’s ordinary to me. Instead of the moon, I would rather give you entire galaxies, as many planets as I can find, and even the peaceful blackness of the entirety of space. I would give you stars that I’ve carefully hand picked, stars that glow green and gold, just like the colors in your eyes. You honestly have no idea how good you make me feel. I want you to know I will always care for you. I will always cherish your love. Thank you for being the best thing I've ever came across and will ever come across. You are a minute of quiet, in a loud shouting world. You're a blessing. #IAmWanted #HoldingUpTheUniverse by @c0cat 😊 I would just like to say Jennifer that you are an astounding author and I feel so treasured when I am reading your books. This is dedicated to Ben. The most inconceivable and remarkable person I've met.
