Kimi looooved cooking food, not quite as much as dancing, but still it was fun! She loved sharing the food she made even more, but nachos were a...rather guilty pleasure of hers. She did everything she could to make them just perfect. In fact, she loved them so much that as she was taste testing them she just kept sneaking one more at a time. But the time Talfia came around to her table all of her nachos were...gone.
"Obviously that means they were good...!" She had no other excuse, they were just so yummy.
Khalil was always good at following directions, so with the cook book open in front of him he was able to follow those instructions perfectly. Some might try adding their own little twists and things to their food, but Khalil liked to keep things simple. However, these nachos were quite delicious. He found himself snaking on them, probably because he had skipped breakfast that morning, until they were completely gone by the time his teacher made their way to his table. Oops...She had to believe him that they were good though! He hadn't meant to turn his assignment into his breakfast...really...
Syth pondered the question at hand, he really wasn't sure what university he wanted to go to when he graduated the academy so he decided to go on the tour first. First, he took a tour of Asterion and quickly decided the courses offered weren't for him. Then he went on the tour for Grendel university the illusion course interested him, but he wasn't sure if it was quite the right fit for him. Last he went to Leviathan he like the heavy twilight the valley created. He looked up at the beautiful lanterns floating covering the grounds. What spoke to him most of all were the Alchemy and the Enchanting courses. Syth went back to the Life Skills class and wrote down his thoughts on the different universities. Finally writing about how he wanted to go to Leviathan to do a double major in Alchemy and Enchanting. Syth knew it would be challenging but he really wanted to go for it, show his family that dreaming and striving for your dreams was meaningful.

Amethyst frowned looking at the assignment where did she want to go to university, what did Ame what out of life. That was a big question and she wasn't sure if she had the answer. Ame sighed, she wished she could just go have fun, pull some pranks, but she also wanted a family some day and a life with Sterling so this stuff was important too. So she went on the tour of the colleges. First she went to Grendel and she crossed it off her list deciding it wasn't the school for her. Next she went to Leviathan and she shook her head, science and stuff nah, not her thing. Then she went to Asterion, humm, business law, that had a nice feel to it. She could learn the law and help businesses with legal paperwork and stuff. Ame had a long way to go, but at least now she had a idea about what she wanted to do with her life. So she wrote about how she wanted to go to Asterion to study business law.
Foras had known what university he wanted to attend for a long time now. He knew he had a passion for Art and there was only one school that focused on Art! Of course, he didn't mind taking the one tour anyway, just so he could get a look at the campus before he actually started attending there soon.
Grendel spoke to me the most because I've always has a passion for Art! I love using paints and water colors. I think I'll definitely be able to learn more about myself and art on their Campus! It will be fun to me immersed in fellow art students, ones with just as much passion for the arts as myself! Not to mention the campus is absolutely beautiful as well! They definitely thought out every little thing while they were designing the campus!
He readily turned in his report.

Patches didn't really have any sort of idea what she wanted to do after graduating from the Academy. There was a lot of things she was interested in, but most of them were more like hobbies. Some part of her just wanted to find a job after this and start working on being an adult, but another part of her was bugging her to go to Uni to further her education a bit. Even if it were just a community college, picking up some sort of trade could be useful. She decided to take the tours just for the heck of it.
After touring all of the Universities I have to admit that all of them would be wonderful choices in one way or another. I'm still rather conflicted on what I want to do after the Academy. After all I come from a tribe in the North. I could go back home and study there, or I could stick around here. I have a heart set on adventure though, so maybe learning some sort of trade at a community college would do me some good. That way, no matter where I end up, I can find a job to help support myself. That probably will be the route I go in life, maybe. Who knows what the future may bring, I'm no divination specialist!
And that was the best she could come up with. She handed in her paper with a smile and headed out the door.
Thomas wasn't really the best cook in the world, though he could make a mean mac and cheese. Nachos didn't seem to be too hard, though he'd prefer to make them with real cheese, not this odd tasting cheese sauce. While Thomas was pondering about the merits of different cheeses, his hand slipped on the tomato and put his finger right in the way of the knife.
His yelp of pain was loud enough to catch everyone's attention. Helpfully, that included the teacher who swooped down and started bandaging the cut. It wasn't too bad or too deep, thank goodness, but it hurt like a thousand papercuts. Not to mention the embarrassment of cutting one's finger making nachos.

There had never been a doubt in her mind, so when Talfia asked them to write about where they were going, Nashira wrote simply 'I will be going to Leviathan.' She had never doubted that she would be going there. But then, she had to think about why. She was very interested in alchemy, and wanted to study that extensively, but after recent events, she had made friends who attended different universities. She wasn't a social creature by nature, though she deeply desired to be. But if she went to the other schools, she could attend with her friends. But that was a stupid reason to chose a school. No, she would attend for academic reasons. 'I have held a deep interest in alchemy for my whole life, and Leviathan's curriculum is suited towards my area of interest. Aside from alchemy, Leviathan also offers enchanting, which has admittedly perked my interest. I will be grateful for the chance to study both, and see which would be a desirable career choice.'

I'm sorry if this double quotes you. I broke the coding in my post.

After Harley finished taking the personality quiz, trying to answer as honestly as she could, she was surprised at some of the things it mentioned. She was definitely an introvert, more feeling than thinking, and hardly ever assertive, but she would have thought she was more observant than this portrayed her as. She didn't know all this would equate to being a mediator type of personality, but she didn't know what else to expect.

Margret was pleasantly surprised with the results of her personality test. She did strive to be liked, but she also needed things to be in order. She wanted people to take her seriously and that's how she tried to present herself.

Kunibert took the quiz. He hesitated a lot--he wasn't so sure about how to answer some of the questions, and by the end, he was more than a little annoyed. Without even seeing the test results, he'd learned some things about himself that he hadn't wanted to know.
Okay, the introverted thing was not a surprise. Kuni did not feel contented in a room full of people. He was observant--barely. He didn't like the idea of being intuitive at all. His nature was also only barely thinking. Ugh! But he had been honest--he let himself be controlled by his emotions a lot. That was just the sad truth.
Judging, yes, he was definitely judging, but the big surprise was that he was "turbulent." Unconfident in his abilities and decisions? He disagreed with that. He was very confident. Wasn't he? Uggh. The teacher was right--this exposed a lot about them...
He looked over the answers. Introverted, yes. Intuitive? He wasn't sure that was so good for someone with his ambitions. Oh well. Nature feeling? Well, also bad for someone interested in the sciences. He had no idea what "prospective" meant, but he liked that he wasn't "judging." He was a little surprised that he was "assertive," though. He had never thought of himself as an assertive person. Alright, so it was mostly surprises. Maybe he could meditate on them later and figure out where so many of them came from.

Deni wasn't sure how this had anything to do with life skills, but he took the quiz anyway.
Most of those sounded a lot like him, except for "judging" and "feeling." He liked to think of himself more as a thinker than a feeler--he was not a dreamer--and he preferred to think of himself as being more open to other people's points of view. Oh well. He wondered what his twin had gotten.
Well, okay, extraverted made sense, as did intuitive and feeling. Prospective? What did that mean? Oh, the opposite of judging. Okay, yeah, he was no one to judge. Turbulent, though? He'd always thought of himself as being cozy in his own skin...
