🇺🇸Adam: Hi Sarah.
🇺🇸Sarah: Hi.
Adam: Today we’re talking about do-overs. So if you had a time machine and you could go back to your college years, is there anything that you might change or do differently?
Sarah: I really wish that I would have had the chance to study abroad. I chose the wrong major initially. I was a nursing major for two years, and worked really hard at a major I was really bad at. And then after two years, I switched schools and switched majors. And because of that, I had so many credits to take that I couldn’t study abroad or do really any extra classes that were fun.
Adam: Hmm, that must have been challenging. Where would you have liked to study abroad?
Sarah: Really, anywhere. I’ve always loved to travel, so I would have been open to going anywhere.
Adam: So you said you studied nursing, what would you have studied otherwise?
Sarah: Well, I first went into nursing because everyone since I was really little told me that I would be a good nurse. So I thought it was my calling in life. And then after taking lots and lots of science classes, which I’m really bad at, I decided to switch majors to education. And then I ended up liking that major, so I’m really happy that I switched.
Adam: Was there any other major that you would find interesting that you might study if you went back or you’re satisfied with education?
Sarah: I’m glad I did education because I really liked that work wise. But if I had to go with things that I’m interested in, I probably would have been some sort of art major. Both of my siblings are artists, so it kind of runs in the family a little bit.
Adam: What kind of art do you like?
Sarah: Mainly dance, but I also was really into music growing up, so musical instruments and singing.
Adam: So, do you have any friends that were interested in art or dance that you had in those times?
Sarah: Not really. No, actually.
Adam: Do you wish that if you were in a group of people that like the similar things that you might have pursued different interests.
Sarah: Hmm, definitely. I wish I would have done more with dance. I was a ballerina for 12 years. And I gave up on that when I was 14. So I got to the level where I either had to train professionally to do that for a job or stay in a class where the younger girls would keep moving up. And so at that time, I quit.
And although I don’t wish I was still doing ballet, I wish I would continued some kind of dance.
Adam: Interesting.
Adam: So Sarah, any funny haircuts or anything like that?
Sarah: Actually, yes. One week before I moved away to college, I cut my hair boy-short. And then after that, like during my first semester, I’d dyed it all different shades of red. And my hair has actually been pretty much every link and every natural-ish color.
Adam: Wow. How did your friends and family respond to your red hair?
Sarah: My mom didn’t like it so much. She thought I was going to die like a natural red color, but it was more of fuchsia red color. So she didn’t like it very much. But my friends and like siblings understood because I’ve always been very different and didn’t really care what other people thought about how I looked.
Adam: How long did you like it?
Sarah: For a while until I wanted change. I love change, so I’d always switch it to something else.
Adam: Well, that’s great. Thanks, Sarah.

🎵 Sit Still Look Pretty
#Daya
Could dress up
To get love
But guess what?
I'm never gonna be that girl
Who's living in a Barbie world
Could wake up
In make up,
And play dumb
Pretending that I need a boy
Who's gonna treat me like a toy
I know the other girlies wanna wear expensive things
Like diamond rings
But I don't wanna be the puppet that you're playing on a string
This queen don't need a king
Oh, I don't know what you've been told
But this gal right here's gonna rule the world
Yeah, that is where I'm gonna be because I wanna be
No, I don't wanna sit still, look pretty
You get off on your 9 to 5
Dream of picket fences and trophy wives
But no, I'm never gonna be 'cause I don't wanna be
No, I don't wanna sit still look pretty
Mr. Right could be nice for one night
But then he wanna take control
And I would rather fly solo
That Snow White
She did right
In her life
Had 7 men to do the chores
'Cause that's not what a lady's for
The only thing a boy's gonna give a girl for free's captivity
And I might love me some vanilla but I'm not that sugar sweet
Call me HBIC
Oh, I don't know what you've been told
But this gal right here's gonna rule the world
Yeah, that is where I'm gonna be, because I wanna be
No, I don't wanna sit still, look pretty

Up in a pretty world
But they say pretty hurts
