Relationship status? Single!
Celeb crush? Either Chris Pratt — he’s hilarious, relatable and such a gentleman — or a young Tom Cruise — he’s a total badass and super cute!
Any guilty pleasures? Watching old movies and eating popcorn and ice cream.
Favorite old movies? I really like “What a Wonderful Life,” “The Apartment,” “Some Like it Hot,” “Bonnie and Clyde,” and “Casablanca.”
Favorite hangout/homework spot on campus? The bike path and the grassy area by the Red Cedar River
Favorite vacation spot? I’ve never been anywhere extremely exotic, but I really love going to Goderich, Canada. I went to Switzerland, and that’s pretty amazing and London’s cool too.
Go-to outfit? Probably a cute movie T-shirt with the sleeves rolled up twice and skinny jeans cuffed at the bottoms with either Birkenstocks or Converse. Also, can’t forget the funky socks!
Which is your favorite caf? Landon! It has a really cozy environment, and their food is actually really good!
What’s your favorite Grand River eatery? I feel like I’m obligated to say Bruegger’s Bagels, because I work there, but their food is pretty great. Since I’m only a freshman, I haven’t tried too many places yet!
Favorite MSU Dairy flavor? Blue Moon!
What is your favorite thing about being a part of the MSU family? The atmosphere. I came from a high school that pushed being good at everything so much that it was super stressful and scary. Here, everyone is chill, laid back and cool with doing whatever. Students care about their grades and their social life evenly! Everyone is also extremely accepting!
Your favorite life quote? “Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind,” -Dr. Seuss OR “I never realized until lately that women were supposed to be the inferior sex,” -Katherine Hepburn
