FAVORITE RESTAURANT AND WHY?
“Moes. They’re so quick and it’s good food, it’s not as packed as Chick-fil-A and everything.”

FAVORITE SEASON AND WHY?
“I’d say the spring because in winter it’s too cold for me and in summer it would be too hot, and spring is during our tennis season.”

“Snapchat because you can have streaks with other people and snap back, so it is an easier direct message.”

FAVORITE THING TO WEAR AND WHY?

“I’d make a vaccine against the common cold because you get it every week or something during winter.”
