If you could turn any activity into an Olympic sport, what would you have a good chance at winning medal for?If I could turn anything into an Olympic sport it would definitely be a sport based on making people laugh by saying stupid things. I have not quite figured it out yet, but I love making people, and myself, laugh from saying stupid comments. Pulling oneself down for the benefit of others would usually make most people insecure or sad about themselves, but it does not really affect me and in fact it makes me happy because the best thing is laughing so hard that you can barely breath and the only thing better than that is laughing that hard alongside one of your friends.

They say that everyone has a book in them. What would your book be about?I am weirdly confident that I could write a book that is relative to those books that are filled with ancient chinese proverbs. The only difference is that it would be a mix of proverbs that I made up on how to live life and things I say that are stupid or funny. For example, something funny I said one that was just stupid was freshman year in debate class we were debating some policy involving china and I won over the crowd and brought the argument to a close by screaming over everyone “CHINA IS ARBITRARY.” One of the proverbs might say something like “whenever you are sad or stressed, just find a silver lining and you will feel happier” or “lower your standards, so that way when you achieve your goal you feel even better about yourself.” Another one I just thought of is for when you get a bad grade, all you have to tell yourself is that “it takes a lot of hard work and skill to do so poorly on a test” and then you will boost your confidence.

What’s the most interesting piece of art you’ve seen?My grandpa is an art collector and because of that my brother has become extremely invested and interested in learning all that may grandpa knows about the aesthetic of art. Because of this, I have many many paintings that I love and hold dear to my heart. However, there is one painting that I hold very dear to my heart. It is a Rembrandt called the Jewish bride that lives in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The painting depicts a man grabbing a woman's boob. The reason I love this painting so much is because when we walked up to it my mom immediately says a statement that would change how I viewed her for eternity. She said “wow that man is really trying to cop a feel.”

What irrational fear do you have?I have this irrational fear that I will be murdered in my own home and just that people are in my house either trying to murder or kidnap me. The most detailed fear related to my fear of murder is that in my house when walking up the stairs when you look to the left there is a window and when you look to the right there is like one of the biggest windows you have ever seen. My fear is that there will be a guy standing outside both windows and they will both shoot me in the head at the same time.

What is one of your favorite smells?Cilantro and freshly cut grass. No argument, those two things are the best. Freshly cut grass reminds me of camp, It's such a powerful smell to me that whenever I get even the slightest hint of it I get momentarily transported to camp. I do not have any emotional attachment to cilantro, but the fresh smell is enough to make me smile whenever I feel gross, tired, stressed, or sad.

What piece of entertainment do you wish you could erase from your mind so that you could experience for the first time again?I wish I could erase my memory of watching Harry Potter for the first time, so that I could read the books before I saw the movies. I’m not sure that it would be better or worse, but I would find it fascinating to be able to experience both seeing the movies and reading the books first.

If you were any character in harry potter who would you be?If I had to choose, I would definitely be Luna Lovegood. I may not be exactly like Luna Lovegood, but I strive to be just like her. She is unequivocally nice, while also being straightforward. On top of this, she has a remarkable ability to spin things in a positive direction no matter what. While I know I have the straightforward thing down pat, I am still working on perfecting my abilities to be positive and nice. Luna lovegood is a bit whacky in a humorous way which is also something I value about myself. The most important thing of all is that Luna never lets anything get to her, and that is a sort of mantra that I have lived my whole life on.

Which of your scars has the best story behind it?When I was in third grade I straight up ran into a pole head on. Enough said.

What are some small things that make your day better?A few things that make me happy are when my friends text me first. It’s like a confirmation that they want to hangout with me of their own free will and not just when I ask them too. Also laughing

What’s the most recent stupid thing you have done?I brought a skimboard to camp so that I could wakeboard on it, but it was a skimboard for a child who weighed about 50-60 lbs. Everyone was convinced the skimboard was gonna like snap as soon as I started, but I guess I’m just that good at wakeboarding.

What stat for your life would you most like to see?I would love to see what my most used phrase, sentence, and word is. Simply because in Naruto there is a part where the gold and silver brothers wield the benihisago, a tool that is one of the sage of six paths treasured tools. The tools ability is to take a person's word soul. Once this happens it puts a curse on the person whose word soul was taken. If the person says their most frequently spoken word or phrase they will get the sucked into the gourd. When I saw this episode I immediately wanted to know what my word or phrase would be.
