About Me :
Hey everyone! It's me, Zeta, and here are few things you probably want to know about me.
I go to the Lower Class of the English School "YES!". I play the piano for about 4-5 years and I think it is the most relaxing and enjoyable thing someone can do in their free time. I listen to pop-rock and punk-rock music. My favourite bands are 5 Seconds of Summer (which I like since May '15) and Twenty One Pilots (which I've been listening to since December '15), although I like many more bands, for example Arctic Monkeys. Also, I truly love Halsey, Troye Sivan and Melanie Martinez. I also love watching videos on YouTube. My favourite YouTubers are Issa (twaimz), Colleen (colliscool), Ellena (ellenawhat), Connor (ConnorFranta), Jack (jacksepticeye) and last but not least Felix (PewDiePie). My favourite food is obviously pizza. I absolutely hate waking up at 7pm in the morning - let's be honest, who doesn't? My best friends are Efi and Dorina. In my blog, I try to post a variety of things for you to find what you like reading most and focus on that! Check out the Categories below and start reading my posts (I post new as soon as I can)!
