My favorite film is simultaneously Forrest Gump, Pitch Perfect and Anchorman 2. The best advice I could give to underclassmen is to respect all of your teachers.

On the weekends I like to watch movies and hang out with friends. A slogan to live by is live for the moments you can't put into words. My all-time dream is to travel around the world.

The slogan that I live by is "There is no such thing as an inappropriate joke, that's why it's a joke."-Michael Scott.

The farthest I've been from home was on a trip to Ireland with my family two summers ago. I am most comfortable when I'm around people I know and enjoy being with - like my friends and family. My favorite film of all time is definitely Lion King.
