“College inspired me to think differently. It's like no other time in your life.”

“If my mom reads that I'm grammatically incorrect I'll have hell to pay.”

“I hate Valentine's day. It is a day for nothing but disappointment.”

“I'm a normal person and I don't have superpowers! I do normal things, too.”

“I love my job so much, and not everyone can say that and I recognize how lucky that is.”

“I've had a pretty charmed life, so there's nothing that I need to take too seriously right now.”

“If I had to choose, I'd choose my friends over my career.”

“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.”

“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.”
