Learn About Amanda

Hey guys,

I don't think I've done a post that I just answer random questions about myself in awhile. I thought of these questions for you all to learn more about myself. I think it's interesting for YouTubers, Bloggers and others on social media to do these types of posts/videos to allow their readers/subscribers to learn more about the person who wrote the blog post/filming the video. You can ask your readers/subscribers to ask questions or just make up your own questions, like I did. Here we go :)
