I would travel all around Alaska.
That sounds awesome What would you want to be able to see there?
I'd like to go way far north and see the northern lights clearly.
Oh my goodness I have always wanted to do that The northern lights are incredible
I used to live there, but we were too close to the city to see them well. what would you do if money were no object?
I would try to do humanitarian work, service work always seems like it is hindered by the need for money So it would be a great opportunity to get some good things done
That is very true. Where would you start?
Building wells to provide clean water in all the places they need it
ah nice
Then setting up schools for general education and then schools for trade skills
That would be a huge feat I read recently that Flint, Michigan still doesn't have clean water
That is crazy that they dont have clean water I feel so terrible for being so ignorant about things
psh you're fine. It's hard to keep up with everything. I mostly just get my news from twitter and fact check it
Thats good that you always check
I'm just worried if I don't I'll be wrong if it ever comes up lol Have you done humanitarian work before?
I am never quite sure A little here and there but not nearly enough
that's awesome that you don't settle for the minimum
I try my best So what kinds of things do you like to do
I really enjoy watching movies
What are you favorite kinds of movies to watch
I usually gravitate towards comedy, coming-of-age, and romance films
Nice All good choices What has been your favorite most recently?
the original Ghostbusters is my favorite for sure because it has the perfect balance of action, love, comedy, and imagination
I have actually never seen that. So you would recommend it?
WHAT! YES! It's a fantastic movie! It has a lot of the most popular comedians of its time
Didnt they just do a remake but with women? I will have to add that one to my list to watch
yes it wasn't nearly as good Do you like to watch movies?
I love watching movies I dont get too all that often but I like it a lot
oh sweet. Do you have a favorite?
Currently I like doctor strange
okay cool. What's your favorite part?
I like how his character changes, he comes around to be a good person. The powers are so cool and its really cool that he was a doctor and I dont know I like it
oh sweet. yeah I never really considered his change of heart the special effects were awesome too
OH yes I am so impressed with what they can do
it's wild! have you seen Infinity Wars? (or war? I forget if it's plural or not)
I have! I saw it the day it came out
What did you think?
A. I hate the ending But I give them major props to blending all of those story lines so well
Yeah the ending was ridiculous. I feel like it was a let down for how long the movie was, but of course itll be fine because Strange said there was a scenario in which they wo would win. he wouldn't have given up the stone if that wasn't part of them winning
Exactly It was two hours of them building up to nothing
Yes!
I think thanos loves his daughter too much that he will turn back reality to bring her back
and I never saw civil war so I was pretty confused the whole time
And then that will bring everyone else back and then they can win
ooh that's a fun theory
That is just my guess
so everything gets erased basically?
Yeah
nice
You know like the last twilight movie where everything happens but it didnt
my dad said the symbol that the guy paged at the end was for some lady superhero from the comics THATS EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT WOULD HAPPEN because Thanos kept messing with reality! it was ANNOYING
Haha yeah It was captain marvel That was the symbol
Do you know a lot about superheroes?
No, I just watch the movies and that is it
ah cool
I didnt know captain marvel existed until then and someone told me
same
They said it is like a superman like powers
is she also from space?
That is all i know... haha I am sorry
it's cool. I'm sure my brother will watch some conspiracy video and fill me in
Haha is he big into super heros?
sort of. I think he just likes his knowledge being challenged Do you have siblings?
I have a wonderful older sister
oh nice
And that is it. So a small family
Is she much older, or were you able to grow up together?
She is 4 years older than me But we were always really close
that's awesone *awesome
Yeah! She made it really easy to come out to BYU She is working on her PhD in chemistry currently
she must be crazy smart!
Oh yeah, She has always been one to do really well She helps me do better too, its a lot to live up to Since its just me and her, theres not much else to be compared to
Are you also majoring in chemistry?
Oh no I am going into industrial design
for buildings?
Thats what a lot of people think, but it is just improving aesthetic and functionality of anything It can range from buildings, to cars, to clothes, etc..
sweet Have you started at BYU yet?
I start this coming fall in the program
okay cool. I'm also starting this fall
Nice, I got one semester down and its has been a good experience are you excited?
I'm mostly excited for the mountains
They are gorgeous Where are you from?
I've moved around a lot, but I live in Nebraska now. What about you?
I am from South Carolina, so mountains are foreign to me too
oh snap
Haha why do you say that?
it's nice to know there's someone else not from Utah lol I feel like a lot of BYU students are Utahns
I thought that they only make up 30% of BYU's population? I could be way wrong But I have met a fair amount of people that dont live in utah
I could also be wrong. That's good to know!
Yeah! I think you are the first from nebraska
Our alumni chapter had a get together for new freshmen today and there were like 10 lol
Oh wow
the main guy said there's maybe 200 students total on campus that are from NE
Woah Really?
Fun fact: Nebraska is not the #1 corn producer in America yep
I have met like 2 from south carolina Nice! Do you eat a lot of corn then?
no it's not the #1 producer, I think Iowa or Illinois is corn is one of my favorite vegetables though
Oh I totally read that wrong I am sorry
haha you're good
Georgia is called the Peach State but south carolina produces more peaches
dang. Are you a big fan of peaches?
I like them a lot But I dont actually eat them a lot
nice. I've had peach cobbler before, but the fuzziness of peaches throws me off
Hahaha yeah it can be alittle weird
Do you like to cook?
I love cooking, but ironically i prefer cooking for other people It is more entertaining
Why is that?
I dont know, it is more satifying to serve than be served And I dont get any pleasure out of food I make, but I can see how it impacts them
dang you're like the epitome of kindness that's awesome
Haha not at all, I have my own problems. But thank you
Are you going to serve a mission?
I have already gone
Cool! Where'd you serve?
I was in California I love northern california, At the end of the summer I get to go back and I am so excited
A LOT of people in my ward served in southern California That'll be so fun! Do you still keep up with people in the area?
Yeah I try my best, it can be a little hard though
Why's that?
There are literally hundreds of people I would want to keep up with
that is quite a few
Yeah So it can be time consuming
for sure
But I will be able to see a lot of them in August I am going back for two friends weddings and ill spend about a month there just visiting people before school starts
Wow! Weddings are so exciting. Will you be staying with friends that whole month?
Yeah, I have quite a few places to stay all over where people have offered so hopefully I wont wear out any welcomes
that's super cool You could just cook for them if they start to seem perturbed
Haha yeah
Is there a particular genre of food your prefer to cook?
italian is a lot of fun I dont know why I probably just like to eat that more
that makes sense what's your favorite dish?
I like a vegetarian ravioli that I make
ooh yum
I am not vegetarian but it tastes so good
I feel like anything with pasta or garlic is bound to be good do you use tofu?
No it is just cheese ravioli and vegetables
nice
What about you do you like to cook?
sort of. I don't enjoy doing my dishes when I'm done, though I do make a mean green bean casserole. I enjoy making that
I love green bean casserole It is so god
yess it's my comfort food
I went crazy about it a few years ago and that was all I would make and eat
so so good
Hey, its been good talking. But its midnight over here and Im pretty tired. I hope you have a good night!
