Campus Cutie: Katie Reilly ’16

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Amherst chapter.

1) Grade, Dorm, Major

Junior, Crossett, Psychology

2) So, you were abroad last semester in Rome, tell me a little bit about that!

       Rome was a beautiful city where I didn’t do homework and I was able to explore one of the most prominent ancient cities in the world. I ate the best pizza, pasta and gelato I’ve ever had in my entire life. I had never taken an art or art history class before so Rome was the perfect place to do that. I was amazed daily by my surroundings. My favorite place was St. Peter’s mainly because of michelangelo’s La Pieta. 

3) What extracurricular activities do you participate in at Amherst?

       At Amherst I am on the Women’s Lacrosse team, I am a Peer Advocate of Sexual Respect and I’m a member of SAAC. I wish I was in an Acapella group but I stick to singing in the shower. 

4) What is your spirit animal?

       Donkey— have you heard my laugh ?

5) Describe your dream date. 

       A long car ride, cook breakfast for dinner together and play board games. Anything but Monopoly, and Twister is highly encouraged. 

6) What is the craziest thing you’ve ever done?

        I saw sumo wrestling live at Madison Square Garden!
