3. Getting dragged to see Titanic waaaaay too many times.

5 Snacks I Like
1. Sesame sticks.
2. Sourdough pretzels. (Especially with ice cream.)
3. Coffee and a danish.
4. Popcorn.

5 Things I Would Do if I Were a (Multi)Millionaire
1. Pay off all of my immediate family’s debts - loans, mortgages, etc.
2. Donate to my church, my university, and a few charities.
3. Throw as much of it in the bank as possible to build interest. (Shut up! It’s responsible!)

5. Soooo much travel left to do…might as well be rich while doing it!
