30 Day Top 10 Challenge

Hey, y'all! Apologies for the lack of a post on Saturday- my school's internet went out constantly and then my laptop decided to practically self-destruct. Basically, I've had trouble getting onto the internet all weekend, which- if you know me- is a HUGE problem.

Anyway, since I missed that post Saturday, I'm giving you a challenge today rather than a random 2nd Tuesday post, and then I have a fun post for you on Thursday (hopefully...). I've done a Top 5 challenge similar to this (link HERE if you want to check that out!). I tried to answer with the first things that came to my mind, so these are mostly spur-of-the-moment answers.
