Hey yall, I'm pretty sure it's been months since I was last online and it's great to be back!! School has been veryy busy; two upcoming tests to study for, homework and clubs; but all is well and I hope the same for you guys too! Anywho, new season, new avatar! Thoughts? Also, I absolutely LOVE fall. Honestly, nothing beats stomping on fallen leaves, apple desserts, pumpkin lattes.... I start feeling all cosy on the inside just thinking about it!!

Welcome back, it's been such a long time! I totally get school, I'm a freshman in hs and I am definitely feeling the pressure 😅 Anyways, I'm so glad you're back and I completely agree with you: fall is AMAZING!! There is truly nothing like pumpkin spice lattes and cozy sweaters!

yasss, frr, so good to "see" you again!!<33

Your avatar is amazing! I'm very, very busy too-so much exams......

Aww thxx so muchh!! Yeah, i can totally relate

@love-art, I liked your green background, so I changed mine to green. I'm wearing my hair down more often, so I changed my hair to this. NOW OURS IS SO SIMILAIR!!! Lol

Thanks! Now I changed it for fall, and now we're similar! XD

I was just thinking that! We're totally twinning!✌️

Thank you @dogo23irene and @love-art I hope I can get more☺️

Hi everyone! I can't believe that we can play Minecraft at school now! Is that the same for other schools? Thx ~ Victoria Ella

That's cool! My school is teaching me Scratch.

Guys TYSM for 17 followers! My new goal is 25 and victoria_ella, I hope you don't mind if I copy your idea! Everyone, can you please comment on my ideal fall background? COLOR CHOICES: burnt coral, burnt orange, tan, sienna, saffron, moss, honey, copper, light beige brown, dark autumn gold, and lastly, very dark mahogany!!! If you don't know the colors, I think that it will pop up if you google it! Thank you!!!

First off, I love the names you give to the colors! That's exactly what I do too! I mean, after all, navy blue is not navy blue, it's midnight blue! And second of all, I think moss or autumn gold would be cool!

Wow, I feel so great inside! I think honey would look sweet and beautiful! (side note: For me, I usually keep the one everyone wanted in the color choices next year and then change all the other options. I kept this tradition for years!) ~ Victoria Ella
