What is your favorite place on campus?: “My favorite place on campus would have to be the…hmm. I’m torn between the volleyball courts because that’s fun and outdoors, but also the Ransom Arts drawing lab because I like the models that we get in there that we have to draw.”
What clubs or activities are you involved in on campus?: “Another Man’s Trash. I’m also a Service Learning Intern. I founded the Community Builders of America ( or the CMA for short). I also host open mic nights…I think that’s it…”
What’s your favorite class?: “It’s actually Brian’s (MacHarg) class. Figures of Service in Leadership. I guess Brian and I are in the same page a lot and when he guides discussion I pick up on it. I don’t have any discussion based classes and I’m not actually enrolled in this class…I just go there for fun.”
What is the most played song on your iPod?: “God Make Up Your Mind by Cold War Kids…I used to listen to it on repeat through middle and high school.”
What’s your most embarrassing moment?: “When I was a freshman in high school, then a big fad was to pants people, one kid was notorious for doing it. We were all leaving an activity and he pulled down my boxers in addition to my pants. Fortunately most of the people were facing away from me…but I will never forget the face of one girl. She looked terrified. I don’t know what that says about me…or what that says about her. Hopefully it says something about her. But I remember being mortified and livid with my friend.”
What’s your biggest pet peeve?: “When people aren’t willing to comprise. It bugs the hell out of me.”
