Take the ultimate personality test… the Myers-Briggs test and tell us what your personality type is!
I honestly believe that this test is accurate and tells you a lot about yourself!

Besides frat parties and social clubs, are there good online dating sites out there? Is it worth trying online dating sites like Okcupid, Tinder, Date My School?
I've only used Tinder because it's simple, easy-to-use and really casual. I've met some really great guys through the app. Plus, I feel like there's not as much pressure - you can chat with someone really easily and if the two of you get along, then you can more forward and meet for a coffee date or something fun! On the flip side, if you lose interest (or they're creepy haha) you can just stop messaging.

I might go really boring this year and ask for a good kitchen knife, haha. It’s for my own safety, lol!
I know I need a new sewing machine, and maybe a nice pair of Singer shears. But once I get a job, I'll buy these things myself. :D
I told my parents not to get any presents for me this year; I need tuition money to take care of! Yup, I'm boring too. Haha.

I need a few good sites that either deliver to Canada, or are in Canada. Anything funky, dark, or with band tee’s is aright with me. Cheap is nice too.

Im turning 18 in January and even though its months ahead i like to prepare and budget in advance. I was wondering if anyone had any cool ides for what I should do? My birthday fallson a Wednsday but i was just thinking of celebrating it the weekend after. I don’t want anything like a “party, party” but rather a small group of friends doing something memorable and fun! I was thinking like a 2 day event where one day we have a scavenger hunt(a list of things to do and we split into teams), dinner at a nice resteraunt, sleep over my house that night then the next day go out for brunch, and hit the town for a girls day or just go to the movies. I was considering things such as :
- the season (my birthday is during winter and very cold so limits the things we can do)
-transportation (i was considering a limo for a couple of hours but if not should they drive everywhere or ride in my parents truck all together?)
-Cute DIY Invitations (something very unique that’ll make them want to cancel all their plans and come)
If anyone is a great party planner and has any ideas please let me know!
Or just say what you did for your 18th birthday?
Have you ever thought that anyone will feel bored of the same monotonous routine of cutting birthday cakes on the birthday parties? Why not use some hilarious 18th birthday party ideas that can help throwing prank for the birthday boy

I’m seeing teeny boppers wearing cat eye eyeliners and lipstick. I find this kind of funny because my friends and I didn’t start wearing makeup until college. Maybe I’m not used to this yet. What age do you think girls should start thinking about wearing makeup?
I know that some North American teens (boys and girls) from public schools start experimenting with makeup around 13-14, the average age for early puberty. It has been like this for decades, especially during my parents’ generations.
I think makeup shouldn’t be a “required thing” for people to wear in general, unless it’s for theatre, filming, or cosmetics retail. Personally for me, I love makeup— because I enjoy playing with colors and expressing myself. If another person doesn’t want to wear makeup, she shouldn’t be forced to wear them.
I think it boils down to an individual; skin and health should also be considered too. I think it’s fine if a 14-year-old goth girl or boy wants to experiment with makeup, but I think s/he just needs to check with the dermatologist first. Like, limiting foundations for special occasion or just sticking with eye-wear.
Anywhere under middle school is a bit too young.

My apartment does not come with central heating. :( This means I have to use space heaters when I’m at home and this results in higher PG&E bills during cold months. I really need tips on how I can keep my apartment warmer without using the heater too much. Is this even possible?
Make sure your blinds or curtains are open on sunny days! My mom leaves her’s open on sunny days during winter and it heats their entire house! Also, have parties! Nothing like friends (and lots of warm bodies) to make you feel warm and cozy, haha

Before it all finally ends for you is there something you want to accomplish with your life if so what is it? If you could live forever would you? What do you think happens when we die? What sounds scarier an eternity of suffering or everything you are just fading away to nothingness?
I want to be able to travel the world with my family and create a wonderful home that we’re always excited to come home to.

I recently bought my first pair of footy pajamas and it game me an idea and wanted to get others thoughts on it. So footy pajamas are just like really loose tights, which made me think even more. Does anyone wear tights to bed? I started thinking about it and it seemed really really practical! You woudnt have to worry about loosing a sock in bed, some people hate pajama pants bunching up and it would keep you really warm! Im going to try it tonight and see how it goes. Wish me luck :)
I feel like I’ve tried it before, probably when I was little. They’re kind of constricting and you run the risk of getting a hole in the middle of the night so I probably wouldn’t wear them to bed.

I might be the only one that might think this but, Have u ever wonder how high school life would have been diff, if u went back dressing the way u dress today, compared to how u dressed when u were attending High School?
We had a strict uniform code so it would be hard to dress up differently. But I would totally put on a little makeup and do my hair more though. When I look back at my high school pics, my face would always look oily and my hair is always a mess. Haha.

I never understood why people seem to love fame? At least for me, it doesn’t seem all that great. You can’t go on a date or go anywhere without people bothering you. Imagine you’re having a realluy bad day and freaking cameras are going off in your face! and anytime you get together with someone to break up or do something stupid, its all over the tabloids and internet. People are always criticizing you and you can read tons of insults about yourself online. If you wear an outfit, people will always judge it and bash it if they don’t like it. Yeah you have fans but do you think they seriously care? most likely after a couple years you won’t mean anything to them and your psoter gets replaced by the next rising star. No matter how many fans you have, they can’t replace having a small group of people of geniunely care about you.
It just doesn’t seem worth it to me xD
I think you raised a really good question. In my opinion, there are pros and cons of being famous. But, if someone chooses something just to be famous then that person is gonna suffer a great deal. You have to love what you do and only then you can enjoy your life. I wouldn’t mind to be recognized by millions of people for what I do as long as I can grow.

I do not really like where I live, i like in Houston,& there seems to never be something to do especially since I live in the suburbs. I always try to go downtown so i can fill the hole in my heart that NYC belongs in since i was born there but it doesnt do much.
So do you love your city.? If so why? whats there to do?
if not, why?& where do you think you belong?
I live in Austin, and I’m not much of a fan. I’m used to public transport and I hate driving, so all the traffic jams and lack of parking really drive me insane. Going out is ok, but there is no club scene and dancing venues are super limited. There’s nowhere to walk to, like the only food within a mile is crappy convenience store food and taco carts. Also, the summers are awful! It does have some good things, like really hipstery coffeeshops and bars, good food, and a really good music scene, so I suppose it’s not too terrible.
I really want to move outside the US, maybe Montreal, or back to Moscow. Or Tokyo or Hong Kong!

for chictopia – that is..
so you’ll konw, im only 14 and i don’t live exactly in the metro.. but sort of.. :)
i do think there’s a certain age bracket to limit me from being fashionable and from being in chictopia, but i am very shy and uncomfortable of showing myself, especially when it comes to fashion..people stares at me like: “she too young for that” and all, and i get really conscious cause i feel like im being someone that’s inappropriate for my age..
and im thinking of quitting chictopia! which, i dont really want to do. i love chictopia. but i guess i need more time to think,
i need you advice
please help me..
check out my ChicBlog
and my BLOG
thank you so much .xoxo
No! Don’t quit Chictopia! Chictopia has a wonderful and supportive community so there’s nothing you should feel self conscious about. I’ve seen very young bloggers upload to Chictopia and I admire them for being so fashionable at such an early age. There isn’t an age limit for being fashionable. Have you seen Alexander Wang’s niece ? Years from now people will look back and say “remember that girl? She’s always been so fashionable since she was very young. She’s so cool”.

For me growing up, it has always been easier for me to communicate with males more than females. I guess it’s because they’re more nonchalant about things.
What gender do you tend to communicate and associate more with?
It’s easier to talk to females for me. I have tons of guy friends, but sometimes I just don’t understand the way they think.

How often is it that people deal with having a degree to support other people’s wants?.
You mean like going to college just because your parents want you to? I’ve learned that education will take you far in life. It may tough finishing a degree when you don’t feel like it, but trust me, it will be useful for you one day. Hang in there..

What would you do if your significant other offered you money to get implants or other cosmetic surgery? Would you consider it or just be really offended?
I’m with lovemarta. If it was something I needed and had expressed concern about, like a mommy makeover after having all my kids, sure! But it he just randomly said, "Hey Babe, can I offer you a nose job?” that would offend me.
There’s a difference between suggesting an unnecessary improvement, as opposed to fixing something out of your control (like when kids come out of your body and then deflate your breasts!) :/

I used to use irfanview but then I started using picnik. It does a lot of cool editing things but I like the clarity of a lot of peoples photos. They look professional and mine don’t. So what do you use, what do you think is the best, and what do you think is the worst?
I took a photoshop class with cs4 but I just couldn’t figure out how to make it benefit my pics. And its super expensive! like 400 with a student discount "/
Pixlr! For those who are too poor to afford Photoshop. ;D

lately i have the feeling that i did all the wrong choices,regarding my job,my career,my friends,the guy i had and lost ..like everything is WRONG…and life its finally showing the check.i guess is just a feeling,did you feel the same sometimes?
Even if you have made bad choices, you are no different than anyone else.
It is not always easy to know what the right thing to do even is. We don’t always know for sure what will result of our actions. We cannot know, that is not how life is given to us.
If people didn’t mess up a lot then there would be no need for all these organizations that offer “solutions” to people’s problems.
The good news is you really do learn from mistakes. You learn what NOT to do. That and as you get older (over 30), people pretty much quit pestering you about how you should live.

what age do you think is acceptable for girls to
start wearing heels as an every-day type of thing?
i’m sixteen, and although some of my friends wear
heels everyday, i feel like it’s a bit too much for highschoolers.
i would wear heels once in a while, but when i see
some girls at school wearing 6inch heels, i get an
impression that they’re trying to hard. and is it just me
that finds that when you wear heels, you attract more
eyes towards you? i guess that’s another reason
why i try to stay away from them.
I think you’re a little too young to wear heels so high, for example I’m 17 and I hate wearing high heels. I think it’s unnecessary and way too much.

Just want to know your take. Times have changed, my parents got married young- and now people wait. Is 23 now too young?
In my country it is a little bit too young. But if you really love someone and you feel that you can spend a lifetime with them, why not? It’s your life, your choices. Just be happy! ^^

Helloooooo!
One of my good friend is going through a hard time because she just started dating this guy and this guy wants her to dress more like Brooke Hogan (I laughed but he is serious!). She is pretty tall but also got some booty and boobs.
Her boyfriend thinks that showing the womanly shape would be the way to go. However, she dresses more like…Zara, Californian casual, simple, clean — sorry I am not the best at describing stuff…
When she came out to have lunch with me wearing an Ed Hardy T-shirt, I literally had a tiny heart attack. It’s because it’s sooooo unlike her.
For me, it’s kinda hard to wrap my head around this idea of changing your style because your significant other wants it…
What are your opinions?
I’m LOL-ing so hard right now. I have a friend who goes through this every time she dates a new guy. I think as a good friend you have the duty of reminding her what her true personal style is and why she was comfortable with her style in the first place. Then she can decide if she really wants to stick to her new style. Btw, someone who is wears Zara should not be taking fashion tips from a guy who thinks Brooke Hogan is a style icon.
(Honestly I don’t get guys. It’s like if you were really bothered by style to begin with, why even date me?? )

In the beginning of my relationship, it seemed as if my boyfriend didn’t mind shopping with me but as we got more comfortable with each other, he started dreading it.
Does your boyfriend/husband mind shopping with you or do you prefer to leave him at home?
Yes Many a time..!! and loves it. He just loves spending time with me.. If I point out something in particular that I like, he’ll usually buy it , without any hesitating, That why i love him so much.

Hey guys,
SO to start this off Id like to say that the two people whos style I admire the MOST are first, RIHANNA and then Victoria Beckham- but mostly RIhanna.
I have a really hard time finding stuff I can afford and moreover I have a hard time just finding my style. I find I repeat looks A LOT or follow trends. I want to be able to lead trends, find nice stuff, without breaking the bank because Im a student!. Any advice?
I rarely buy new items. It helps to know what suits your figure and what styles make your body look the best. The colors that suit you and color combinations/ patterns that clash well together that catch your eye. I typically go vintage hunting for something that just catches my eye and when I find it, I think how can I make this work. You will soon find yourself attracted to different things since you never know what you will find. It also helps to be broke every now and then and desperate for a new outfit. It seriously gets the creative mind flowing.
