A fun-loving freshman from New York, Cara Megerdichian is the definition of a cutie. She has the sweetest voice that could melt anyone’s heart. You’ll notice her easily: just follow the trail of giggles that she leaves behind. She’s also the freshman that uses a tray—it’s convenient and she’d rather not embarrass herself spilling her meal. Almost anything brings a smile to Cara’s face, except bad manners of course. That’d be a deal breaker!

BC Sports and Figure Skating
What is your favorite BC sport?
Figure skating obviously, but to watch it would be hockey. Growing up and spending so much time at the ice rink, I developed a liking for hockey.
How long have you been Figure Skating?
Since middle school, when I was about 12 years old.
What type of Figure Skating do you do?
I started out doing freestyle (jumps and spins) and then switched to ice-dancing.
What is the worse rumor or stereotype about skating?
Everyone thinks that we’re all really mean because of the movie Ice Princess. They think we are all nasty and stuck up. It’s not true! It’s more like the moms, skating moms are worse than hockey moms.
How do you like being on BC’s club Figure Skating team?
I love it!
Do you want to continue after college?
Possibly, but not competitively.
Being a Freshman and Entering the New Year
What are your goals for this semester?
To (umm…) get better acclimated and more organized.
How do you feel about the upcoming housing process and what are you plans for it?
I’m super nervous , but like everyone else I’m going for an eight-man with my friends. I’m hoping it doesn’t cause too much drama.
As a second semester freshman, are you finally adjusting? Are you excited for freshman year to be over or sad that it’s already half gone?
I’m sad that a portion of my time at BC is already over. But I’m excited to not be a freshman anymore, hahaha, just so that I can get fully adjusted and know the ropes. (She giggled some more).
What was the most freshman moment you’ve had so far?
Using a tray in the dining hall everyday for the first half of the first semester. It’s better than spilling your food!
Do you still use one?
I mean once in a while…
