Most embarrassing moment:

I once asked the barista at Starbucks if she needed to see my ID when she asked for my name to write on my cup. After a long and tedious day of orientation events at GMU, I was so accustomed to showing people my ID for the day that it had temporarily become a habit. I realized the blunder I made when she stared at me like I were from outer space. It is safe to say that I played it off very well with my nervous laugh.

My mother.

Not being proud of myself.

If you knew today was your last day on Earth, how would you spend it?
