What is the best gift to receive during the holidays?

Food. I definitely love my mom’s Chex Mix. I am hoping for lots of Chex Mix this year.

What is a gift that you plan on giving this Christmas?

Lots of coffee this year. Coffee seems to be inexpensive, but homey enough to be a decent gift.

Do you plan on going home for the holidays?

I plan on going home to Phoenix only for Christmas.

What is your fondest Christmas memory?

It would be the year I got a truck for Christmas. That was cool. I am kind of hoping that it happens again this year.

How do you relieve stress during finals?

Now that I am 21, I like to go to the bars. My favorite bar is No Anchovies, because of the fun environment, good pizza and good beer.

Do you have any superstitions?

I always grow out a mustache for finals. It has been working for the past three years, so every finals week I grow out a mustache.

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?

Somewhere in southern Colorado. I just like it there. I used to snowboard, but I broke my leg snowboarding a couple of years ago. I snowboarded mostly in Arizona, but I have snowboarded in Santa Fe.

What is your worst vice?

Probably cars or airplanes. Last summer, I spent all my money on flight training.
