MD_ Your new daily routines that keep you feeling positive?
AS_ I have been letting myself sleep in a bit more, until about 8:30 am, on the weekdays. I enjoy getting up and getting my studying done first thing and then I usually go for an outdoor walk or run. I live with my parents and siblings so we have been spending some quality family time together in the evenings.
MD_ Any secret discoveries to share?
AS_ I have discovered a love of hiking over the past few weeks. We have beautiful mountains in my state, so I have been going on long hikes a couple times a week, it’s so nice to get out and get some fresh air and take in some beautiful views.
MD_ How would you pack for next weekend suitcase?
AS_ I would want to spend it in the mountains so I would pack my hiking boots, a nice cozy sweater for the evenings, and some athletic wear for the day times so I could do some adventuring outside.
MD_ Smell and flavor that brings back good memories?
AS_ Whenever I was younger and would spend the night at my grandma’s house, I would always want to have a cup of coffee like her in the mornings. However, since I was 5 or 6, she gave me more of a cup of creamer with a small splash of coffee. The creamer she used was this almond one that smelled and tasted so warm and cozy. Whenever I taste something that is similar it always takes me back to mornings in her sunroom enjoying a cup of “coffee” with her.
