Where did you grow up?
Chesapeake, VA
What, in your opinion, is the best holiday? How do you usually celebrate it?
After some serious deliberation, when it comes down to it, definitely Thanksgiving. All about family and food, and November is the coolest time of year! In terms of celebration, I partake in the typical Thanksgiving festivities; hanging with the family, with football on in the background for atmosphere, and delicious food!
Are you following any TV shows?
Not any currently running because I don’t have cable and Parks and Rec ended (cries for days), but I am watching The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt on Netflix!
What’s a staple in your wardrobe?
An oversized, mens’ sweater…idk man, they’re so comfy and warm.
What’s a must-have in your makeup bag?
This is tough, because I’m not an avid make-up wearer, but I definitely must have either mascara or dark red lipstick (preferably both).
What’s your favorite subject in school?
Usually something biology based, because science is cool, but chemistry is the devil…
What’s something you don’t think you’re good at, but wish you were?
Juggling, I feel like that party trick comes in handy.
Favorite thing about VCU?
Living in the city!
If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be?
I said the make-up question was tough, but this is the REAL tough question here. If I’m being honest with myself, I’d only eat mac n’ cheese FOREVER. (Chicken nuggets are a close second, and YES, I am actually a 7-year-old child.)
What do you do with your newfound free time when you discover class has been canceled?
Back to being a 7-year-old child, I usually fit in a nap :)
