Arianna Cohen—A Snapshot

What’s your favorite color?

It would have to be blue. Any shade works really.

What’s the coolest place you’ve ever been?

Queenstown, New Zealand. While studying abroad in Australia I went with some friends to New Zealand on the way back. It is the adventure sports capitol. Adventure sports=the coolest.

Where do you like to go to think and reflect?

Whole Foods. Ah the possibilities!

What’s your favorite food?

Ok another tough one. If we are talking breakfast then it’s cereal. If we are talking breakfast locations it’s Cereality. Lunch or dinner I am a fan of the sushi/parfait combo from Whole Foods.

What’s your favorite movie?

Tie. Wet Hot American Summer and Empire Records. Love Actually was a close second.

What’s your all-time favorite TV show?

I love Best Week Ever, The Office, and Gossip Girls. There I said it. I absolutely love Gossip Girls.

What’s your favorite sound?

The sound of the ocean.

What’s the best book you’ve ever read?

The Shadow of the Wind.

Where would you most like to go that you’ve never been?

I have a really really long list of places that I am interested in going. As a longtime tomato fan I just really want to go to the Tomato Festival in Spain. It’s a huge deal where everyone goes to this one city center and throws tomatoes at each other. Everyone is a winner.

Krispy Kreme or Dunkin’ Donuts?

Dunkin’ Donuts. They are the Starbucks of my hometown in New Jersey. The hot chocolate there is just the best. Kinda over the whole Baskin Robbins tag along thing. Dunkin’ Donuts is better than that.
