A Moment in Time (aka Slumbook)

One of my favorite childhood activities was getting my classmates to fill-out my Merit slumbook (I wonder if they still print those haha). I got an updated one a few years ago from Powerbooks and got my colleagues to fill it up. They all laughed at me, but indulged in completing their pages. 

I found "time capsule" prompts on Pinterest and thought I'd do it for myself today just for fun. I haven't done this in a long time.  It would be interesting to do this every so often to see how much I change. I choose a list that resembles the Merit slumbook I had when I was young.
