Get to know Sarah
  • How much money is in your savings account?

    What savings account? I'm more of a spender than a saver. The world could end tomorrow right, so have fun now.

  • What's your biggest fear that isn't something boring like spiders?

    My biggest fear is eating foods I can't see inside of. For example, HotPockets. I always have this feeling that a cockroach (another huge fear) or some other disgusting thing is inside and I am going to take a bite and eat it. I prefer to be able to see what it is I'm putting into my mouth.

  • You have to choose one state in the U.S. to get rid of, which one?

    California, I mean it's going to break off eventually so why not get rid of it now?

  • Are you hot?

    I'm from Texas, it's always hot here.

  • Hidden talent:

    Hmm, I can put both my legs behind my head. Which is weird because I'm not really flexible at all. That's the only oddly flexible thing I am capable of. Also, it looks really weird so I try to not do it.

  • Pet peeve:

    My biggest pet peeve is when people misuse 'well' and 'good'. It really isn't that hard to get them right. I feel rude if I correct them, but if I don't I have to sit there in pained silence. It's just a very annoying grammatical mistake.

  • If you were stuck on a deserted island what 3 things would you bring?

    First, I would bring a boat. Second, I would bring a GPS. Third, I suppose bottled water. A deserted island isn't really the place for me, so I would prefer to get back to Texas.

  • What's the most awkward thing you've ever said to a professor?

    I'm barely a freshman so I haven't had time for too many awkward experiences. I was talking badly about a professor with one of my friends and the professor was right behind us. That was really awkward.

  • What's the most dangerous thing you've ever done, and survived?

    This would have to be driving. So I survive on a daily basis. Ask any of my friends, I am the worst driver ever. I end up on the wrong side of the road, hit curbs, get lost. It's just never a good situation when I'm behind the wheel.

  • What dinosaur, fictional or real, was the best? Would make the best pet? Would be the tastiest?

    The triSARAHtops (get it?) is obviously the best. As for which one would make the best pet I think that would have to be a 'longneck' or more scientifically correct an Apatosaurus. He would be named Littlefoot and would provide a good source of transportation not to mention when I have kids I would be able to say things like "Back in my day I had to ride a dinosaur to school. . . " and be completely serious. I won't even answer the tastiest question, dinosaurs are friends not food.
