What's one piece of advice you'd give to underclassmen? Make the most of every day and do your best to fill your life with exciting and meaningful experiences. Go skydiving, train for a long-distance run, explore new neighborhoods, find a worthwhile volunteer opportunity, learn to surf, immerse yourself in other cultures, and spend as much time as possible with your friends. 

Step into my circle if...you love learning new languages.

Three things you cannot live without: The beach, long (and scenic) jogs, and arepas
