UCFast Five Questions:
Have you ever had a nickname?
When we were little, my brother couldn't say my first name, so he called me Kk. Ever since then, my friends and family refer to me as Kk when they want to get my attention.
Do you like or dislike surprises?
I like surprises, but I always consider myself a detective because I end up finding out the surprise before it happens. Then I just act surprised when it happens.
When you were little, what did you want to grow up to be?
When I was little, I always wanted to grow up to be a fashion designer. I loved shopping and putting together my outfits the night before school. My views quickly changed though when I realized the success rate of this field and what actually goes into making a brand. Now I'm pursuing a degree in nursing and specializing in the neonatal field.
What is your favorite holiday and why?
My favorite holiday is 100% Christmas. I love wearing Christmas pants and fuzzy socks with my hot cocoa and snuggling up next to the fireplace (if I'm not in Florida). Right after Thanksgiving, I put up the tree, decorate the house and lawn with lights while blaring Christmas bops. I love driving around nearby neighborhoods to look at lights! I also have an obsession with snowmen, so come winter time my house and my room are filled with snowmen!
Who knows you the best?
My best friend and neighbor Roxana definitely knows me the best. Ever since we had math class together in sixth grade, we've been best friends. Even though we're polar opposites, we do almost everything together. In the summer, we would hang out, whether it was going to the beach or late night ice cream runs. We always had a good time.
