Last month, I turned 25 – and decided I wanted to share 25 random facts about me to match my old age (kidding), as well as a few life hacks I’ve discovered along the way. Thank you times 100 for following along, it means the world to me; I have so much content coming out this summer (like Battle of the Tacos!!) so stay tuned… INTERNET HUGS!
- My first crush was in the 3rd grade, and his name was Severo. Can you help me find him?
- I locked my keys inside my car post-college graduation and was 3 hours late to my own party. I still think about the Menudo that never was…
- #OOTD is literally my favorite hashtag on the planet!
- I was the editor of my high school newspaper, as well as class president.
- We all make mistakes and nobody expects you to be perfect, but what you do after a mistake speaks volumes.
- You don’t have to search after people, if you have a strong bond with someone you will know.
- Getting to where you want to go takes time and a lot of effort, relax a little bit and understand there is a bigger picture developing right before you.
- I had five internships in college – ALL UNPAID!!
- Be nice to everybody because you never know whom you are coming in contact with or who he or she can become in the future.
- Run your own race and know that you can do it… put yourself out there and really, really try.
- If you want an iced mocha but don’t want to pay $5, you order an iced doppio (two shots of espresso) with two pumps of regular mocha and add your own milk, honey!!! You just saved $2.50!
- I got my first tattoo at the age of 19, mostly to irritate my mom. LOL
- I press the snooze button two times each morning.
- My favorite place to eat in Austin, hands down, is Matt’s El Rancho on Lamar. Shout out to my friend Megan for the introduction!
- Attend all of your classes in college; sticking it out for three hours is much better than the anxiety you get from skipping. You know it’s true.
- Ideally, I see myself living in New York City, although I’ve never been.
- Impromptu pictures is like, totally my thing. Give me a nice wall and it’s going down.
- Living in peace is key, but be careful of people who want to steal that away from you. It’s okay to set boundaries and not allow everyone in. シ
- Find me wearing Birkenstock’s with socks! Don’t @ me.
- The goal is to have my own company where I can help brands grow through social media – pay me to travel, puh-lease!!
- You’re always going to have haters. Don’t get caught up. Ignore them.
- Most people of my generation stumble through their lives and end up in routines. Life is an experiment – take the plunge!
- I’ve read the entire Harry Potter series, THRICE.
- “Should’ve Been Us” by Tori Kelly is my all time favorite jam.
- I came up with the handle @markyatx in 2012, and my closest friends literally call me that by name. =)
