1. I am listening to and loving Ellie Goulding.
2. I've lived in three cities: San Francisco (born and raised); Berkeley; and Boston. The latter is my present home.
3. I experienced falling snow for the first time this winter. When the first snow came, I was so excited that I ran out without a coat. My other Californian friend ran out without shoes.
4. I am a fairly independent person but I would like to be more of a go-getter.
5. My favorite highlighters are yellow.
6. I'm a fan of the new-ish Vanilla Spice Latte from Starbucks but I never cared for the regular Vanilla Latte.
7. I will adorn just about anything with a bow.
8. I am in my first year of medical school.
9. I despise jogging but it is my workout of choice. Still, I'm bad at it after over a year, and I'm fairly certain I'm worse now than when I started.
10. My favorite travel destinations thus far- Barcelona, Seattle, Boston, and Vancouver- have all reminded me of San Francisco, which is my favorite city of all!
11. Since fall, I have watched a number of TV shows from beginning to end (or up to current episode): Game of Thrones; Girls; Lost; Parks and Recreation; and Downton Abbey. There may be more...
12. I'm currently watching 30 Rock from start to finish. I'm on Season 4.
13. I'm allergic to cats.
14. I get excited by the new flavors of Dunkin' Donuts that seem to come out all the time. However, the last one (their new Mint Chocolate Chip flavor) kept me wired for about 24 hours. I'm going to wait a bit before I venture back.
15. I hang dry the majority of my clothes.
16. I have the opposite of claustrophobia but it's not agoraphobia. I get chills when I see images of outer space or vast underwater scenes. The best way I can think of to describe it is that it's a fear of not being grounded.
17. I would like a snow dog, particularly a malamute or a St. Bernard. I will name the malamute Appa, and the St. Bernard will be Jerry (after the character from Parks and Rec).
18. I love, love, love Avatar, the Last Airbender. My favorite character is Uncle. I got so attached to him that I cried.
19. I am in a long distance relationship. He's amazing and he makes it easy.
20. I love to Instagram my food. Yes, I'm one of those.
21. This is the first time in my life that I am making a committed effort to living on a budget. It's hard! I'm glad I'm finally learning though.
22. This is essentially the first time in my adult life that I am without income. I got my first job in high school, worked throughout college, and was a full-time researcher for a few years after that.
23. I am interested in women's health issues and am hoping to end up an OB/GYN.
24. My best dish is truffle mac-and-cheese.
25. I am obsessed with truffle.
26. What I most look forward to in life are becoming a mother and meeting my children.
27. I have three tattoos. I am open to getting more.
28. I enjoy flossing and brushing my teeth because I love the feeling of a clean mouth.
29. I think Crystal Castles are genius. Their weird noise moves me.
30. I keep fake flowers around my room. I don't know if that's tacky but it sure beats watching flowers die.
31. People assume I am a foodie. Truthfully, though, I just like to eat.
32. My only true celebrity encounter was with Martha Stewart at Russ & Daughters (delicious lox) in New York. My best friend spotted her and got us a picture.
33. I have touched ATB on the shoulder.
34. I didn't drive until age 22 and it took me a good two years to get comfortable with it. Even so, I get nervous about driving anywhere unfamiliar.
35. Wine is my favorite drink. Sadly, our apartment is dry at the moment.
36. I have an awful sense of direction.
37. I have to have a clock in the bathroom. In all rooms, really. I like to go up until the last minute so I need to be able to gauge how much time I have before I need to dash off.
38. My first concert was The Ting Tings last year.
39. I have random and nonsensical dreams that I think are incredibly creative, especially given that I'm not in conscious life. I'm impressed at the things my brain can muster up.
40. My favorite place in Boston is the Public Garden. I first stumbled upon it when it was beautiful and green, and I saw it again in the dead of winter when the pond was frozen over so that we could walk on it. Amazing.
41. My first time abroad was in 2011.
42. My stethoscope is a periwinkle shade. I was conflicted about it looking juvenile but decided I might as well go for it now while I'm still young!
43. I did not have good relationships with any of my college roommates but I adore my current roommate.
44. I don't usually buy designer items because I like variety and don't end up get my money's worth of wear, EXCEPT when it comes to
this gem of a purse by Marc Jacobs. I have worn that baby endlessly for probably almost 2 years now.
45. I just painted my nails in the shade
Barstool. It's an awesome translucent blue-gray color.
46. I am my mother's daughter. I hate to admit how similar we are but I'm slowly starting to see and accept it.
47. I volunteered as a doula at the hospital where I was born.
48. I prefer morning showers.
49. My favorite Spice Girl was Sporty Spice.
50. My next concert is for The xx.
