Iza: Currently getting into a new Dolly Parton podcast called “Dolly Parton’s America.” Avid listener of “Opera After Dark”, Jonathan Van Ness’ “Getting Curious”, and New York Times’ “The Daily.” 

Elpida: I tend to be a nerd, so the “Potterless” podcast by Mike Schubert, “The Adventure Zone” by the McElroy boys (or men I guess), and  “Often Ambitious” by two women, Erika and Lindsey. I also like “The Health Code” which is run by a favorite YouTuber of mine, Sarah Stevenson. 

I: An uncleaned mess, feet on the dashboard, gas-lighters, mansplaining

E: If things aren’t done when I ask them to be & long and wordy explanations that go nowhere

I: Mango Dragon Fruit Lemonade, no coffee for me because caffeine makes me sick (even though I love it!). 🙁

E: Depends on the season. I really like a nice ristretto, almond milk latte with some caramel drizzle. I also work there sooooo…. I MAKE MY OWN RULES!

I: Become pentalingual!

E: I want to travel the world. More specifically, I would love to immerse myself in other cultures for long periods of time and learn their languages.

I: *Good Food All Weekend*

Day 1: Traveling to a fun city, bargain shopping, seeing a show, spending a night out on the town.

Day 2: Sleeping in with my beagle, going on a mid-afternoon hike with a view, a game night with besties (with a killer cheese board spread), a bonfire and s’mores.

E: So, if the weather is how I like it (sunny and bright and warm) then I would absolutely run to the beach. An entire weekend with my toes in the sand and swimming in the ocean with some friends and my boyfriend sounds incredible.

I: I have such a small bladder, going on a roadtrip with me is a nightmare.

E: Honestly, there’s a good amount, but if I have to pick one it would be my reaction mentality. I think sometimes I overreact. While I usually “fix” it later, I want to be able to change in the moment.

I: Spontaneity and good people.

E: My Dog! My Boyfriend! MY FRIENDS! Literally anyone or anything that can get me out of the house.

I: Some BIG earrings. Ask me if I’m okay if you see me and I’m not wearing any!

E: My scrunchie. I’m so happy they made a comeback because now there are so many options for me to wear!

I: Hmmm so many. Anything Spanish Pop/Reggaeton, Hozier, Ella Fitzgerald, Alabama Shakes, Lizzo, Cecilia Bartoli, Panic! at the Disco…the list goes on…

E: A go-to would have to be Ariana Grande. Her Sweetener and Thank You, Next albums were amazing. If I’m feeling nostalgic though, I tend to lean towards OG Mumford and Sons.

I: My baby boo and light of my life, my 14 year old beagle boy

E: Cheesy but I’d have to say my ability to sing from my grandparents. It’s honestly one thing I love about myself.

I: Fear of Failure/Not living up to my potential

E: That I won’t have a passion for anything and be burnt out forever. After school ended, I was lucky to have three months off. I needed a break and just wanted to sleep. But it was honestly a bit too long, and it scared me to think I was losing my love for music and learning, even though my mental and physical health needed rest.

I: BREAD!!!

E: PASTA! Al dente, saucey, with lots of parmesan.

I: The Alchemist – Paulo Coelho

E: My first favorite book was Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by J.K. Rowling. My favorite go-to book is Strange Sweet Song by Adi Rule.

I: Instagram

E: Currently, its Instagram. I end up watching so many beauty videos and Instagram TV stories that I lose track of time.

I: The Beach/A Hike

E: I love a nice day that ends up being spent in a hammock outside. Otherwise my bed will do just fine.

I: Night Owl 100%, another thing I wish I could change about myself!

E: A little of both, but I prefer morning me over night time me. Night time me is a little crazy from all the day’s work and stress.

I: Telestrations after Dark, SOOO fun!!

E: CLUE! I recently had the chance to play and I forgot how fun it was. I also really like card games like Werewolf.

I: Visual

E: I am definitely a visual learner. I need to see it to believe it, HAH!

I: Disaster Girl or This is Fine

E: The spongebob one where he says thINgs LiKE thIS. 

I: DSW or Lush

E: If you asked me two months ago, I would say PacSun. Now, I would say Aritzia.

I: Breakfast, but I’m so not an early bird so can I say brunch??

E: Breakfast. Although I could eat anything for breakfast. Like pasta for breakfast? OMG. But really, anything with eggs, or eggs benedict.
