we have a new addition to our magoosh family! meet rita, our new inbound marketer! 🙂
hey there rita! 🙂 what is one of your favorite hobbies?
i’m not sure how strange this is, but i love to bake. i think i was born with a 6th baking sense … i rarely follow a recipe and never believe my kitchen timer, but my culinary experiments tend to be very successful. i love to collect recipes, try new ingredients, and then share (and eat) the end product. i really should have been a pastry chef, but i could never get up that early.
if you could time travel, what time period would you go to?
ok, two answers:
1. 1775 -1789 paris. i’d walk the grounds of versailles, gossip with the nobility, check out marie antoinette’s closet (try on some awesome wigs), and then get back to 2013 for a hot shower before the revolution and all the guillotine business begins.
2. i’d want to see what my parents and grandparents were like at my age. i wonder how similar our lives are!
what’s something funny you tell your friends about magoosh?
i’ve been trying to explain the culture of riddles and word games … but i’m still learning the rules myself.
what board game could you not live without?
i could literally live without all board games.
but! i’m always up for a rousing game of celebrity. the way i play, people submit the name of any person or character (alive, dead, fictional – it’s all good), and put the names in a hat. then, everyone divides into two teams. in the first round, the player giving the clues draws a name and describes the person with words, but without using his/her name. in the second round, the player must draw clues, like in pictionary. and in the final round, the player must use charades to give clues. definitely a good time, and a great way to be totally ridiculous.
what’s the craziest thing you’ve done?
i’m way too boring to do crazy things. that said, in high school, i jumped off the roof of a two story house into a swimming pool. and another time, while studying french immigration politics in paris, i took an overnight train to munich to attend oktoberfest, and then took an overnight train back and took a 7am oral final exam. which i aced! in french!
