1. What piece of advice would you give to a much younger “you” so that something would be a less painful experience?
My initial reaction to this question was that I try not to live with regrets, that even if awful things happened or I did really dumb things, they made me who I am today, so therefore, they aren’t inherently wrong. But really, I think that’s bull. I may love and accept myself now, but I still have a more highly refined compass now than I did back then. So I would tell myself to stay away from student organizations in college so I could focus on my studies, finish my degree and avoid some rather terrible experiences.
2. What is your strongest April memory?
Four years ago, my dad went into the ICU on my birthday at the end of April. Turns out, he had colon cancer and congestive heart failure. It was a very memorable time for a lot of reasons. I learned how much I would miss him (he’s fine now) and how my relationship with my parents differs from that of my siblings. For a happier memory, I loved having a week-long birthday celebration in college once. And on my birthday, I walked around campus with balloons floating up from my backpack.
3. Who are your top five greatest people (celebrities and non-celebrities)?

1) Marriage is a bad idea. Remember that. And always have a good (grey) accountant available. An attorney is a good idea as well.
2) Taxes are not cool. Panic. Then remember the good (grey) accountant.
3) I admire swearingen.

1. I would love to say that I should not live with regret, but the defining thing that I regret was my relationship with my best friend as a child Sean Palecek. I made a choice in 7th grade and it was in fact the wrong choice. In seventh grade I chose the wrong path, and I know it was wrong NOW, I would tell myself that I was about to make a giant mistake.
2. I think maybe getting ready to go biking…nope…me, Marsh, and Frame on top of rib mountain on our mountain bikes, and ending up in the er.
3. My brother is simply the coolest person ever to be born, that will ever be born.
My man Scott Holt.
My man Tom Jordan.
Probably, if I am being fair, Jackie. Though lets not get crazy.
And my mom.
