1. What is your favorite activity to do in Austin? Austin has such a wonderful outdoor scene, I love to go kayaking or walking around downtown with friends on the weekends!
2. What is one meal in Austin that everyone absolutely has to try at least once in their lives?
Cabo Bob's!!!! It's near campus and their burritos are out of this world. Their shrimp tacos are also top-tier.
3. Where is your favorite place to study? I love to study on the 5th floor of NHB, it's not too loud and not too quiet. There's also a microwave if you want to heat up your lunch!!
4. What is your favorite way to de-stress? Destressing is such an important part of maintaining a stable work-life balance in college. Leaving my room and going out with friends are my favorite ways to destress and do something new each time, whether it's a restaurant, an activity, or watching a movie.
5. One piece of advice for incoming freshmen: Don't be afraid to try something out of your comfort zone, you will never know what relationships you will make and new skills you will learn.
