Humans of USU: Freshman Sabrey Davis enjoys sailing
The Utah Statesman interviewed Sabrey Davis, a freshman in allied health from Arizona.
US: What are some of your hobbies?
SD: I read, and I draw, paint, and I sail, like a sailboat, and I hike, and I backpack and I do a lot of random things.
US: If you were to write an autobiography, what would you call it?
SD: “The Adventure.”
US: If you were to invite any two people to dinner, dead or alive, who would they be?
SD: One of them, just going with simple relative things, as in relatives, I would choose my grandmother and my sixth great-aunt Sabrey because that’s my name. I’d like to get to know their stories. I haven’t met either of them, don’t really know that side of my family very well so I think it’d be cool to talk.
US: If you could pick anyone to play you in a movie, who would you choose?
SD: Anne Hathaway. I really enjoy her acting. She’s sophisticated but fun. She can play the role of an evil genius or the sweet innocent girl. She’s got it all. She’s awesome.
US: Favorite animal?
SD: Elephant. I just like them. They’re huge, and I think that their story is amazing. They’re like in the womb for like four years before they’re birthed because they’re huge. Part of that is elephants have this amazing familial bond. If someone dies, they mourn it. Part of that’s probably because they spend four years in the womb. They’re really interesting animals.
US: How do you feel about winter?
SD: Winter is alright. It’s not bad. I was actually talking to someone about this. The thing about winter is that it’s awesome until January because then all of the holiday season is over, and it’s awful. It’s great through the holidays, then it’s just kind of wet and cold.
US: What are your plans for the holidays?
SD: I’m going home and having knee surgery. Yay. I have a torn meniscus and a six-millimeter hole, soccer injury from like two years ago. It’s great.
US: Have you had surgery on it before?
SD: No, I’m just stubborn and don’t go to the doctor.
US: What are your favorite spots around Logan?
SD: I love the canyon. I’ve gone camping and hiking there a couple times. I think that’s really cool. A good place off campus is the redneck water slide. It’s like just south. … Basically there’s just tarps and some water, and you fly. It’s really cool.
US: Any last-minute outdoor adventures you want to get to before it gets too cold?
SD: I’m actually planning on going backpacking next weekend for fall break up in the canyon. I want to try rock climbing, but I don’t see that happening in the near future.
US: Coffee or tea?
SD: Tea. I love mint flavored teas. It’s like Christmas in a cup.
US: Where do you want to live after you graduate?
SD: I’m thinking maybe Alaska, do some work-study programs over there. It’s a really awesome area, and they pay super well because nobody wants to live there. People want to visit there, but they don’t want to live there.
US: If you had to describe yourself with only three words, what would they be?
SD: Let’s go with adventurous. That’s kind of cool, right? Fun. I like to laugh and have a good time. Adventurous, fun and kind. I try to be kind. I don’t want to say that because then I’m like ‘I’m so kind, guys,’ but I try to be kind.
