We interviewed Olivia as part of our 23 with ‘23 series to spotlight 23 different members of the class of 2023.

Q: What’s one thing people don’t know about you?

A: I do show guinea pigs.

Q: What’s your wakeup ritual?

A: I normally don’t have one, but for specifics I’d say I wake up, get on my phone, and listen to music while getting dressed. 

Q: What’s your go to bed ritual? 

A: Also don’t have one, but again, put on headphones and listen to music, get the cat and go to bed. I’ll also feed the guinea pigs and say goodnight to my family, with music still going, too.  

Q: What’s your favorite time of day and why?

A: Nighttime because not a ton of people are awake. I then also have time to talk to friends after school because they are done with their homework generally. And the stars are pretty.  

Q: If you could switch lives with someone for a day, who would it be?

A: I watch people that stream video games, and content on twitch so I would say one of them like Ranboo live just to see what it is he does everyday or Wilbur or even Tommy-in-it. 

Q: Dream country to visit?

A: I have wanted to visit Japan someday ever since I was younger. 

Q: What’s the biggest surprise you’ve had?

A: I can’t think of anything but if it’s across everything, me in Kindergarten getting a cat. The most recent was going to a concert with my friend Amara. Not super surprising as a birthday gift, but it was really fun letting us go alone. 

Q: If your life was a TV show, what song would be in the intro?

A: I’d say “Dreamland” by Glass Animals

Q: What are three things you can’t live without?

A: My cat, my friends, and my computer because I draw on there and want to go into art.

Q: What 3 people living or dead would you like to make dinner for?

A: Tempted to say people I mentioned earlier, so Ranboo, Wilbur, and Tommy

Q: Window or aisle seat?

A: Window! I love looking out the window.

Q: Secret talent?

A: I don’t know how secret it is, but I am pretty good at art and using colors. I have 300 littlest pet shops, but it isn’t really a talent.

Q: Most adventurous thing you’ve done in your life?

A: I guess I’d say a family vacation to Montana. We went to the top of a mountain.

Q: How would you define yourself in three words?

A: Creative, Kind, loyal.

Q: What’s inspiring you in life right now and why?

A: Honestly, some friends in general. Specifically friends that I am a lot closer to and I want to keep going for them. Another is music and art.

Q: Best piece of advice you’ve received?

A: You know yourself best. Do what you want to do, be who you want to be. 

Q: What would you like to be remembered for?

A: Making other people happy; I like making others happy. Theater and art as well. 

Q: Best thing to happen to you today?

A: Actually, based off it being Valentine’s day, one of my friends brought us cupcakes and another friend brought me a late birthday gift.

Q: Worst thing to happen to you today?

A: Well, I guess one which, well, just happened, it is my cat knocking over my curtain today. But probably the overall worst thing is waking up early. I do not like waking up early.

Q: If you made a documentary, what would it be about and why?

A: It would probably be related to animation and art, or technically I would want a documentary about the Dream SMP lore. 

Q: Last piece of content you consumed that made you cry?

A: A TV show season finale, “Bee and PuppyCat.” 

Q: Song you can listen to on repeat?

A: So many honestly but I guess another Glass Animals song “I don’t wanna talk I just want to dance.”

Q: On a scale of 1-10, how excited are you about life right now?

A: I don’t know 5, 6. I don’t know. Not very thrilled about Calculus, but with art I am. I guess I would say 6 or 7.
