1. What were some of the smells and tastes of your childhood? This is a difficult one, because I feel like my sense of taste and smell was pretty underdeveloped until I was an adult. I have also always been far more visual than anything, so I remember images and scenes rather than taste or smell.

2. What did you have as a child that you do not think children today have? Unstructured time.

3. What elementary grade was your favorite? UGH none of them. School was an unrelenting hell.

4. What summer do you remember the best as a child? In a lot of ways, time in my childhood is not linear. I feel like I don't remember that much, and what I do is sort of lumped together. I spent a lot of time outside, though. I'd take a book outside and read under a tree, or just hang out in our fairly big backyard.

5. What one piece of advice would you give to your younger self, and at what age? Stop trying to get people to like you. They aren't going to, and you're wasting your energy. Just do your own thing, it'll get better later.
