Quote
1 I hate Valentine’s day. It is a day for nothing but disappointment.
2 I don’t know that I have any role models now that are fixed. Definitely my mom – she’s the coolest. She’s worked really hard her whole life and I just think she’s got a great attitude. Moms just know so much it’s so silly.
3 If my mom reads that I’m grammatically incorrect I’ll have hell to pay.
4 I’m a normal person and I don’t have superpowers! I do normal things, too.
5 College inspired me to think differently. It’s like no other time in your life.
6 If I had to choose, I’d choose my friends over my career.
7 I’ve had a pretty charmed life, so there’s nothing that I need to take too seriously right now.
8 Everyone tries to talk you out of going to college. The consensus being that people are just gonna forget about you, you know, and that’s the way the business works.
9 I love my job so much, and not everyone can say that and I recognize how lucky that is.
