What movie have you watched most recently? What did you think of it? 96 minutes, Chinese movie where two trains both have bombs and they both can’t stop or the other one will blow up. Fun to watch in the sense that I like exciting action movies, plot was unjust imo

what are you looking forward to right now? Nothing tbh. I should probably go find something to be excited about

if you could do anything at all today, what would it be? Get a business mentor and have a meeting with them, if I could choose anyone probably the og spanx owner or the woman behind rare beauty’s marketing. Or have a meeting with the owner of Canva, I’d like my mom to be there too, she’d probably have something interesting to say. Maybe I could do it all?

What's your drink of choice? (Coffee/tea order, alcohol of choice, pop, etc) rouge bourbon mariages freres tea with honey, or Coca Cola original with ice and salt and a lemon

What's your hair routine like? Anything special? Shampoo > condition > brush. sometimes my mama will brush my hair for me

what's your favorite way to travel? Is there a mode of travel you haven't done that you want to experience? Train or in the backseat of a very comfortable car. I would love to sleep on a bed in a train, I haven’t tried that before

favorite month of the year and why? February, both my mama and her partner’s birthday! beautiful loving month. I also like September for my birthday and December for when my mama is the happiest because she loves Christmas (in a decorations way) and we get the most time off work

favorite time of day and why? 7am after a good night’s rest. I’m on my way to having better discipline so I can be awake for this more often (I say as I type this post in the wee hours of the morning and I haven’t slept)

do you play or follow any sports? & elaborate on that? I wish. I don’t but I hear about volleyball on social media and football from the people around me. I used to be into rock climbing and got up to 7A

what kind of music is stuck in your head a lot lately? Model, actress, whatever by suki Waterhouse // nobody’s soldier by hozier // the hand

dishes or laundry? Dishes. Laundry requires thought over each piece and how it’s to be washed, and there’s fear of messing up

what's something you learned recently? Theravada Buddhism is the oldest school of Buddhism and the Buddhism school with the least amount of scripture translated into English

if you could give a TED talk on anything, what would you talk about? Psychology concepts that are considered to be well known but actually have no evidence behind them — decision fatigue isn’t real, MBTI and love languages aren’t backed by significant research as reliable ways to measure aspects of someone’s personality

What's a piece of advice you find yourself giving a lot? You cannot give too much of yourself away in trying to help, inform, or communicate with others. There seems to be an uptick in the way people expect others to help them emotionally regulate — wanting to be spoken to in a certain way without providing their own understanding in return, getting uncomfortable because they were told they hurt someone, etc.. It’s important to not fall into this too much

what's a piece of advice you would give to yourself five years ago? Change universities. Go home. Switch majors. Stop doing the hard thing, stop believing in sacrifice and suffering. And get on all social media and start making videos and posting them now. Don’t think too hard about them

do you believe in luck and superstition? Do you carry any lucky items or follow any lucky rules? To a certain extent. I feel calmer with this particular necklace I have around my neck. I have a small jade dragon in my bag, one of those lucky coins in my wallet, and crystals hanging on the outside of my bag — clear quartz and a blue one for confidence that I forgot the name of

Are you musical? Play any instruments or sing? Would you ever perform for an audience? Flute, tuba, piano, yes I can sing. I was alto, but if I don’t focus my voice can fall flat sometimes

Write, type, or speak? Type
