Five things you can’t live without:
  1. Well, first I would say YouTube (I spend wayyy too much time sifting through all of the
       nonsense on YouTube to find new artists that are interesting).  
  2. My girlfriend Maya, that might sound a little corny now that I think about it, but I’m serious.
      A usual conversation between us goes like this, Me: “So I have this problem” Maya: “Why
      don’t you just do (fill in the blank)” Me: “Why didn’t I think of that? Thanks babe!”
  3. Singing – As a voice major (occasionally to the dismay of others), I never really stop singing.
  4. The Theatre
  5. A ROOMMATE! Without a roommate, I would have no one to come home from class and
      tell me to get off YouTube (refer to the 1st thing I couldn’t live without).
Tell us a secret:I have a twin…I might be the evil one.
Something you haven’t done but wish you could: Study abroad! I wish I could go back in time and study abroad in Paris. I don’t know any more than very basic conversational French, but what a better way to learn!
Most embarrassing moment: When I was in kindergarten, I pissed myself by the swing set but was too afraid to tell any of the recess teachers. Needless to say, I sat there with wet pants and tears in my eyes for about an hour. After an hour passed, I remember looking over by the jungle gym and seeing my Mom walking towards me with a new pair of cargo pants. She saved the day.
Dream career: I plan on pursuing an acting career after graduating. Before jumping to a random city for that ambitious (lunatic?) career, I plan on teaching high school choir.
