What is a pet peeve of yours?
When people don't recycle, especially if it's within a damn yard of the garbage can.
What do you see as your greatest achievement so far?
Sticking with my love for over 5 years and getting engaged. Also, making it to (almost) halfway through my senior year of college without giving up.
You have won a prize. The prize has two options, and you can choose either (but not both). The first option is a year in any country you choose with a monthly stipend of $2,000. The second option is ten minutes on the moon. Which option do you select?
Believe it or not, probably the first option. A whole year is hard to compare to ten minutes. I'd love the chance to have a whole year to just kick it with practically no obligations and get a chance to immerse myself in a different language.
