âOne of my favorite things to do is watch reality television. The worse the characters are, the better the show and the more I love it. The only condition I have to watch terrible TV is that I have to be running on the treadmill simultaneously. I also love to sing; jamming out in my car is a daily activity for my sanity, and dance workouts are kind of my best friend. (Side note: Iâm horrible at both!)”
âI love to read. Literally any mystery novel written by Sara Shepard or young adult fiction (since I still technically am one, for the next year or so). Recently Iâve really gotten into historical novels and books that take place in a different time setting, whether that be during the 1920s or post-apocalyptic novels. My favorite book ever is Freedom, by Jonathan Franzen, because itâs one of the most relatable books Iâve ever read. Currently Iâm working on a list of books that were recommended to read before graduating college. Iâll keep you posted on how far I get!â

âWhat helps the most is taking out my headphones and listening to my favorite genres of music (R&B, rap, pop). Nothing makes me happier! If I have the time, sometimes a quick yoga session helps too.â
