Jessie: Okay, so now we’re going to transition to some longer response questions. First, what’s one of your favorite CPS memories? 

Daphne: Umm, okay, well it wasn’t on CPS campus but with CPS, the Kauai intraterm last year–or yeah, this last school year. I was with like four of my best friends, and we had no phones, so we were just like talking all the time and hanging out in Kauai 

Jessie: That sounds great, unplugged!

Daphne: Unplugged!

Jessie: Amazing, okay! Where do you see yourself in five years?

Daphne: In five years…Wait, wait lemme calculate that laughs. I hope that I’m doing a Master's in Public Health, and maybe like abroad somewhere, maybe getting like experience in like humanitarian aid in other countries…that’s my goal! So…

Jessie: Wow, it sounds like you’ve got a pretty good plan! 

Daphne: So yeah!

Jessie: And then…if you could give advice to your freshman self, what would it be? 

Daphne: Oh appreciate how much time I had in freshman year, cuz I had so much time, and I wish I had taken advantage of it laughing

Jessie: Yeah, yeah, a little more stressed out now, in senior year? 

Daphne: Yes, a little more now, but-

Jessie: Of course

Daphne: Yeah. 

Jessie: What is something not a lot of people know about you?

Daphne: Oh, I don’t remember seeing this on the questions you sent me!!

Jessie: Hahaha! It could be like something random, quirky, cool, you know…

Daphne: Uhhhh…Oh! I recently started keeping a junk journal because I’m a very nostalgic person–I think a lot of people know that–but specifically a junk journal with all the little things. 

Jessie: So as in you write in the journal or…

Daphne: No, it’s like when you take your coffee, where you take the sticker off of it and sticking it–

Jessie: Oh!

Daphne: –or like a napkin from a restaurant with a logo, and it’s like all your memories from all the random places

Jessie: I know you’re a big fan of the mems…

Daphne: I am! Yeah!! laughs

Jessie: Okay, I think that’s all the questions we have. Thank you so much!

Daphne: Yay, thanks Jessie!
