Pink out

I'm excited for Pink Out today because I love seeing the whole school in pink! It's great to see how many people care about breast cancer awareness. I haven't had any experience with the disease, but there are so many heart-wrenching stories out there that make you want to get up and do something about it. Tonight's game will be the second one I go to this year, and I can't wait to cheer on Liberty and see my friends.

What I would change about society

If I could change anything about society, I would definitely change the aspect of separation. I wish that people would be more unified and help each other out instead of bringing them down. If everyone lived together in harmony, then there would be no reason for war, or hatred, or any evil act. I would still keep diversity in cultures and religions, but I would like for people to be wholly more open and accepting of others.

My biggest inspiration

I don't care how cheesy this sounds, but my biggest inspiration is definitely Jesus. I mean, come on, He's awesome! It only makes sense because I'm Catholic, and Jesus is like the best thing ever either way. I think He had a really great perspective on life and treated people well, so I want to be just like that. He didn't care what other people thought, He stood up for what He believed in until the very end. I'm not going to go out and be a carpenter or wash anyone's feet anytime soon, but I definitely want to treat people well and be a better person overall.

What picks me up when I'm feeling down?

When I'm feeling sad, I use humor to look for the silver lining in every situation. At least, long enough to get a grip of myself. If I'm in desperate need to get away from the sadness, then I would probably grab a tub of ice cream and sit in front of the TV watching reruns of That 70s Show. That always get me rolling on the floor laughing. Always.

Hunger.

Technically, what is hunger? When you say, "I am hungry," what are you really saying? Does it mean that your name is "Hungry" as in, "Hi, I'm Hungry, nice to meet you!" Or is hunger an emotion like "I am happy (hungry)?" This concept confuses me deeply, for I am hungry, and I do not know if I am expressing myself correctly. So, for now, I sense that hunger resides in the pit of my stomach.

Texting ban law

I think that Arlington is on the right track with this new law. Texting while driving should really be banned because too many accidents are caused by it. The rest of Texas, and the rest of the country, really, should follow this rule to save lives. Texting shouldn't even be done when a driver is at a stoplight; eyes should be on the road at all times and the driver should be paying attention to his surroundings. The truth is, no text message can ever be worth your life or the lives of other people.

Why is freedom so important in our country?

I think that freedom is what separates America from everywhere else because you can pretty much do whatever you want here. I think that we take that for granted sometimes because when you think about it, some places have it really bad. Really conservative cultures censor media or clothes or other freedoms we don't really think about here. Freedom allows our nation to grow as a culture and as a people. It influences the way we think and the way we express ourselves. Freedom is the basis of this country and is a relevant part of our lives.

My favorite piece of technology

I love my iPhone. I don't care if the iPhone 4 has a front camera or that the iPhone 5 is coming out in a couple of months, I love my iPhone 3GS. First of all, it's purple, which is the bomb, and it has sentimental meaning to me. It has all my pictures in it, all my games are saved in there, and I got some paid apps for free using this phone! I love my phone because even if I got a new phone, I'd be way too lazy to transfer all my contacts and junk. So I love my phone.

If you could bring back any trend, what would it be?

For some reason, I want to bring back poodle skirts from the 1940s. They are adorable, and I think it would be the best thing ever if I could wear clothes with fluffy poodles on them! So cute! Plus, they look super comfortable and swingy, you could just get on the dance floor and jive or whatever dance they did back then. Bring back the poodles!

A talent I wish I had

I seriously wish that I could sing like an opera singer. I don't know why, but I feel like that would be the coolest thing ever. I would seriously belt out everything I say opera style whenever I talk. People would be impressed.
