How does it feel to be the Tufts 2020 Facebook group celebrity?
It’s nice, I like it, although it is a little overwhelming at times. A couple of years ago I was an introvert, and since I was going to be a first year again, I didn’t want that to happen. Arriving at Tufts with this status has helped me from going back to being an introvert, so I actually really like it.
When did you realise how much you were posting on the group?
I didn’t! I never realised until I came to campus.
Have you made a lot of friends because of your Facebook celebrity status?
Yeah, it definitely helped. I definitely don’t like to take the status for granted and think that everyone is my friend. I really try to get to know everyone personally and get to know their names because I don’t want to be someone who doesn’t know people’s names.
What is something you would want everyone on the Facebook group to know about you?
I love chocolate and gummy bears. If you ever want to visit me and be nice, chocolate and gummy bears are the way to my heart.
