Thistles and Whistles’ Questions:

1. What is your dream job?

My dream job would probably be to do communications for a theatre or ballet company or something like that. I would love to write press releases and feature articles for a fine arts organization of some kind. Or just a job where I can read, write, and research! 

2. Any hobbies you spend your free time pursuing?

I have been dancing since I was four years old and I still spend a lot of time doing that. I am on the dance team and dance ensemble at my college. I’ve made some great friends through dancing and it is an amazing stress reliever for me. I also love to do crafts like card making, embroidery, and diy decorating projects.  
3. Do you have a hidden talent?

I can’t think of anything! I mean love to sing, but I’m not amazing at it or anything.

4. The best piece of advice you’ve received so far.

My mom has always told me to “be good and sweet and kind.” I try to have this mentality in everything I do.  

5. Have you done something so unlike your personality and felt incredibly brave for accomplishing it?

I have done a lot of things in college that I am very proud of: trying out for dance team, applying to be an ambassador, getting out of my comfort zone and talking to new people. 

6. If you could time-travel, which era would you like to visit?

I think I would want to travel to some time in the 1800s because it was such a wonderful time for literature. I love Edgar Allan Poe so it would be so cool to be alive when he was writing. The people back then really knew how to use vocabulary in their written and spoken word. The clothes the women and men wore were so beautiful. 
7. Something that you miss from the pre-internet/technology days and wish that it would come back again.

I miss having less distractions.  I feel like my smart phone and laptop distract me from so many things. I think I would get my homework done faster, I would read more, have better conversations with people, and who knows what else if I was less dependent on technology.

I also hate that the art of letter writing is dying.  I think a handwritten letter or card can say so much.  It is something that I personally will never let go of.

8. What’s in your travel essentials bag?

I’m notorious for over packing for even the shortest of trips, but I can’t think of anything very interesting that I pack every time I travel.  I always have my makeup bag and lots of different outfit choices because you never know what you are going to end up doing. I always bring a few books to read as well.

9. A living person you admire the most and why?

I think I’d say Emma Watson because she is not only a great actress, but she is furthering herself by getting an education at Brown University and she is using her platform to bring about social change.  Her HeforShe campaign is so inspiring.  She is trying to show people that feminism is not just a women’s issue. It is an issue for everyone. She’s making progress in showing that being a feminist doesn’t mean that you hate men and believe that everything is their fault etc. She’s using her fame to promote equality. 
10. Your frequent guilty purchases.

Chocolate, especially Reese’s Cups, is probably my biggest one. Chocolate is my weakness!  

11. Your favourite season and what you love most about it.

It’s a tie between fall and spring. I love them both for similar reasons.  I live in the south so I love to see the leaves change colors in the fall. I live for the chilly, sweater and boots weather.  My wardrobe is definitely the best in the fall.  I love spring because I love the beautiful flowers and the mild temperatures.  I love wearing bright colors and cute sandals and cardigans.
