I Asked My S.O. These 20 Questions About Me, And His Answers Really Surprised Me

Paige Ryan

My partner, Ernesto, is one of the people who always has my back. We've known each other for over 10 years, and we started off as just friends. We have really grown up by each other's side and he's been there for my best moments and my worst ones. He can usually read my emotions pretty well, but I wanted to test out how well he really knows me. Here are twenty questions I asked him to see if he could respond correctly.

1. What's my favorite food?

Paige Ryan

Ernesto: White plain rice. Or tortillas.

Me: I would probably say my favorite food is a smoothie, but I know he'd say that's not real food.

2. What's one food I hate?

Ernesto: Pickles

Me: He's right. I hate a lot of things, but pickles are one of the ones I see no reason to even try. The smell alone is disgusting.

3. What's my favorite restaurant?

See on Instagram

Ernesto: Right now, probably Bartaco.

Me: Yeah, I do really like Bartaco. It's where we got takeout from for my birthday this year.

4. What's one cause I really care about?

A cute pug I saw at a protest I attended.

Paige Ryan

Ernesto: Immigration

Me: Yes!

5. Where was I born?

A dinner date with a rainbow in our city.

Paige Ryan

Ernesto: Raleigh

Me: Yes, Raleigh, NC, is where I was born.

6. Who is my absolute best friend?

Ernesto and Buster kayaking.

Paige Ryan

Ernesto: Buster, then me!

Me: HAHA, Buster is my dog.

7. What's my favorite thing about you?

Paige Ryan

Ernesto: My work ethic?

Me: What an Earth sign response. No, I honestly really love his eyes, his smile, and the little freckles across his nose. And I love the way he always has my back.

8. What is my dream job?

Paige Ryan

Ernesto: Pug breeder on a farm near the beach.

Me: No, I don't want to live on a farm, but I'd love to be a travel writer/photographer who lives by the beach and has a lot of pugs.

9. What's my favorite color?

Ernesto: Black. Then pink ish?

Me: I can't blame him for thinking I love black because it's one of the only colors I wear. Right now, I'm having a lavender moment, and also really appreciating sage green and marigold.

10. What's one thing I'm really bad at?

Ernesto: Not making faces when trying new things.

Me: Um, yeah. Breaking the habit of being a picky eater is really hard. I don't like trying new foods when I'm around people who don't know me well because it's hard to control my physical reactions.

11. What's one thing I'm really good at?

Ernesto: Writing.

Me: I am always happy when other people tell me I write well.

12. What would you say is my greatest weakness?

Paige Ryan

Ernesto: You're too nice sometimes.

Me: I need to learn how to stand up for myself and not let people take advantage of me or a situation.

13. What would you say is my greatest strength?

Paige Ryan

Ernesto: You see the best in people.

Me: I thought this response was really sweet!

14. Who am I closest to in my family?

Paige Ryan

Ernesto: Auntie.

Me: Auntie is my maternal aunt, and this is right.

15. How did I get my name?

Paige Ryan

Ernesto: I don't know.

Me: I think it was just because they wanted something uncommon.

16. Who is my role model?

See on Instagram

Ernesto: Aang from Avatar the Last Airbender.

Me: HAHA yes, I love that character so much. A lot of my role models are fictional characters. I also really like Mulan and Sailor Moon. Probably some of the biggest influences on me growing up.

17. What is my love language?

Paige Ryan

Ernesto: Touch

Me: I'd lean more towards quality time and words of affirmation.

18. What is my biggest regret?

See on Instagram

Ernesto: UNCW?

Me: By this, he's referring to a semester that I failed because I was depressed and had too much going on in my life to be able to focus on my studies. I would say it's a regret. Not necessarily attending the school, and I did complete a certificate program there, but I do have a lot of regrets from that period in my life.

19. What is my greatest fear?

Ernesto: Being alone.

Me: I don't think necessarily being alone is the biggest fear, but I do fear rejection.

20. What is my biggest insecurity?

Ernesto: Your weight. Which you shouldn't feel insecure about.

Me: Yeah.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

SUNY Binghamton

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
