Meet this weeks Campus Cutie, Lauryn Wernli, an outgoing, outspoken ball of energy.
HC: What is a perfect date like for you?
Takeout Japanese and Netflix on the couch, preferably Harry Potter, One Tree Hill or Gossip Girl… I’m pretty easy to please.
HC: What’s your favorite thing about UNCW so far?
I would have to say, as cliché as it is, being so close to the beach and the people I’ve met. The atmosphere really makes living here such an amazing experience, I couldn’t imagine going to school anywhere else.
HC: What’s your most currrent awkward moment?
Well along with tripping and running into things all the time, (can you say klutz!) I had a really unfortunate experience at Wag the other day. When putting sprinkles on my ice cream, I somehow managed to pop off the lid and throw the sprinkles all over the Wag floor. I put down the ice cream and ran outta there.
HC: Celebrity crush?
Shakria, that lady’s hips really don’t lie. I’d pay to be able to dance like that!
HC: Hobbies?
I love working out with my girlfriends! We really motivate each other and keep each other going. No matter how badly we don’t want to get out of bed, being there together makes it at least a little more enjoyable. I’m also very good at laying in bed for long periods of time watching Bravo with a big jar of pickles.
HC: Favorite Quote?
“Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if only one remembers to turn on the light.” -Albus Dumbledore
HC: What’s your favorite UNCW memory so far?
My roommate and a couple friends started off the year at Beach Blast together. It was such a great way to catch up with each other and meet new people, all while having a great view and getting a tan!
HC: How would friends describe you?
Loud, outgoing, funny, loving, reliable.
HC: What made you decide to come to UNCW?
UNCW offers the majors and minors that I’m interested in, along with a great nursing school and a wide variety of study abroad programs.
HC: If you could travel to any place in the world where would it be and why?
No questions asked, I would travel to Spain because I would love to get a feel for the culture and just be able to take in the whole environment. Since I am planning on being a Spanish minor, I know experiencing Spain would be very helpful in that aspect as well.
HC: What is your favorite sport to watch?
I love the Panthers, along with watching my boyfriend play baseball at Winthrop University.
HC: What’s a fun fact about yourself?
I’ve been 5’8” since I was 12 years old…Talk about awkward pre teen years!
