What do you do when you're with your friends?

Past simple

We usually grab a bite to eat and we catch up and talk about all the things that we missed when we weren't together.

During Christmas we get a Christmas tree and we put it up and decorate it and then on Christmas Day when everyone wakes up in the morning we open the gifts that were under the tree and after that we go to my dad's house since my dad and mom are separated and we open presents at my dad's house then and kind of have a second Christmas there.

I would love to have good health when I get old because being healthy is super important and if I do have good health I would love to continue to travel the world and see every country.

What do you want people to say about you?

I would love people to think that I was open-minded, friendly, kind, positive, kind of all those things and I want them to see my adventures and feel inspired by them.

The weather can get very, very cold and I hate the cold and the snow and it's very windy in Chicago but it can also be a beautiful place and the spring, summer, and fall are usually amazing and colorful and lots of people.

People are friendly here too so it's a great city.

What country do you want to travel to and why?

A country that's on the top of my list has to be Italy because I love Italian food.

I love Italian food and it's a beautiful country, beautiful, beautiful country.

So I really, really want to go there but I'm just saving up for the right time to go.

Is there anywhere in America other than Chicago that you'd like to live and why?

Maybe I think about moving out of America, maybe to Europe, but if I was to continue living in America and not in Chicago, I might go to North Carolina or South Carolina because they have nice weather where it's not too cold in the winters, not too hot in the summers, it's a little bit milder so that's pretty nice.

Do you want to try living in New York or not?

It is a cool city to visit for a week or two but for me, I am not a city person in general so I don't like New York.

The people aren't as friendly as Chicago there.

The streets are dirtier because there's no alleyways to put the trash so the trash goes out on the street versus in Chicago there's alleys so it's not as stinky.

And I just like the way Chicago looks a lot more than I like the way New York looks.

What do you think are America's good points?

I would say that America is always pushing boundaries.

We're at a point where everyone's so comfortable that everyone's always trying to do something new.

They're innovating, they're working on things and the country really does try to support the people that live here with all kinds of programs and stuff.

There are homeless people and we do have an issue with drugs but at the same time we are trying our best to remedy that with food banks and snap points and things to help benefit people who are in bad situations.

What do you think are America's bad points?

I would say that we are very divided since we do run off a two-party system.

We've got the Democrats and we've got the Republicans and it seems like nowadays everyone has to pick a side and fight against each other.

I am looking into buying a MacBook right now, usually to do my editing and social media stuff on because it's super easy to use when you have an iPhone.

Yes, I save money all the time, every day.

Every time I get a paycheck I put money away into my savings and into an investment for my future.

I think it's super important and I don't think enough Americans are saving their money because people aren't being educated on how to save and how to do these things.

It's not taught in schools and so you have to reach out to those things yourself to be able to learn about that unless someone in your life teaches them to you.

What kind of men are popular with women in America?

That's a hard question to answer because America is a very diverse place and so people's and women's interests are very diverse.

And what one person likes doesn't mean everybody likes.

But I would say that women like men who are into fitness, that look fit overall, that are good looking, have a nice jawline, symmetrical facial features, nice hair.

Those are some kind of basic things I guess.

What was your most fun memory of high school?

I would have to say it was going to homecoming.

I loved getting all dressed up in those fancy dresses and doing makeup and hair and going to the dance.

What's the first thing you think of when you think of the word Japan?

What would you like to try if you came to Japan?

Well, I don't want to say sushi but I kind of do want to try the sushi, preferably without the fish.

But I guess I also want to try some like really authentic Japanese food because I don't even know what that would exactly be like.

So I think that would be really cool to try.

What news are you most interested in in the moment?

The conflict between Israel and Palestine.

There is some major conflict going on and a lot of bombings going on at the moment.

Is there an app that you really like and what does it do?

Well recently I've been playing an app called Merge Mansion and it is a game where you merge items that look the same to create bigger items and you try to complete your tasks.

So I've been playing that in my free time.

What did you do yesterday and can you give your daily schedule?

So yesterday I had a photoshoot in the morning.

So I had to wake up early and iron all my clothes for the photoshoot.

So that was at about 8am and at about 9 I started on my makeup and hair and at about 9.30 I was heading to my shoot and I picked up a drink at Panera.

It was a strawberry lemonade and my shoot went for two hours.

And then I came home and my brother was working on fixing my computer because I'm having some issues with the Wi-Fi.

So for about three hours we were trying to work on fixing my new computer that I just built.

Then I had a friend come over and we made a bunch of food and we all sat around the TV and watched the NASCAR races that were going on in Chicago.

What's the first thing you do when you wake up in the morning?

Usually when I wake up in the morning if I don't have something like a photoshoot going on I will get up and I will go on a run.

What do you always do before you go to bed at night?

At night I make sure my dog gets her medicine.

I do my skin care routine and I put my hair into these little curlers so that it looks nice when I wake up the next morning.

Usually I spend them with my friends, with my family.

I love to play video games so you'll find me playing video games a lot of times as well.

I stopped biting them but sometimes it's still a bad habit and I can't help myself and I kind of nibble them down a little bit.

But I like to try to keep them long because they look really nice and they're really strong.

What was the last thing you cracked up laughing at?

I would have to say that was probably yesterday when we were watching the NASCAR races.

It was me and my friend and my two brothers sitting around the TV watching and my two brothers got into a major argument about something that made no sense and didn't matter whatsoever and I was just laughing because that's just what it's like having brothers.

Well, I just got back from a trip to Mexico.
