HC: What are you looking forward to this semester?
EB: This semester I’m taking a lot of classes that I actually enjoy (like music classes for my minor) which are teaching me so much about my passions! It’s awesome. I chose music as my minor because I`ve always loved theatre, performing, and just singing in general. And I think to minor in music will always inspire me to follow my passions!
HC: What is your favorite thing about San Diego?
EB: My favorite thing about SD is the beach, great Mexican food and all the things available to do! Oh, and the weather! My favorite beach is probably La Jolla! I can`t pick a favorite Mexican food place because there are just too many good places to try! I always order a quesadilla or California burrito though!
HC: What is your favorite restaurant in San Diego?
EB: My favorite place to eat is probably PB Sushi! It is super yummy and always pretty cheap! I order the ceviche roll when I go! It is a must-try item on the menu!! In the past I would always go with friends, but my boyfriend showed me PB Sushi so I go with him a lot now!!
HC: What do you typically do in your freetime?
EB: In my free time I like to hang with my friends at the pool or beach, and explore San Diego! My favorite place to be in San Diego is definitely Sunset Cliffs! Whether I go by myself or with friends, I always have a good time. I absolutely LOVE watching the sunsets and some of the prettiest sunsets have been at sunset cliffs!
HC: IF you could give anyone your top piece of advice, what would it be?
EB: My top piece of advice (coming from someone who is a total people pleaser) is that sometimes you need to think about what is best for YOU, not what will make others happy.
HC: What is your everyday go-to outfit?
EB: My go to outfit is definitely jeans and a tank with flip flops.
