Name: Julia Martin
Class Year: Sophomore
Hometown: Berkeley Heights, NJ
Major: Business Analytics and Marketing
The Basics
Campus Activities: Blue Key Society, Club Lacrosse, Kappa Kappa Gamma
Dream Job: Simply doing something that I’m excited to wake up for in the morning…have yet to figure out what that passion will be
Celeb Crush: Jay Wright
Guilty Pleasure: Sin A Muffins from Holy Grounds
Villanova Bucket List: Get married in the St. Thomas of Villanova church
Currently Binge Watching: The Office
Favorite Book: To be basic, I read See Me by Nicholas Sparks this summer and it was a great weekend read (and kind of a thriller on top of the love story). I recommend it if you want to get your head away from school work.
Favorite Movie: Happy Gilmore (ask me to quote the whole thing)
Favorite Store: Urban Outfitters and Aritzia
Favorite food place near Villanova: Hope’s Cookies, find me there almost every night…
Favorite spot on campus: Sitting outside Connelly & people watching on a beautiful day
Most Played Song on your iPod: Just looked on iTunes and it’s actually Whatever You Like by TI hahaha (is that appropriate…if not do Flowers In Your Hair by the Lumineers)
Favorite Class at Villanova: This semester, my Business Analytics class. Very interesting and what we are learning is so applicable to today
General Interests: FLYWHEEL>>, taking pictures, eating good food, laughing with friends, and going on little, spontaneous adventures, no matter how small.
Little Known Fact: In high school, I won the superlative for Most Likely to show up late to school with Starbucks and Instafamous. I was nominated for Best to Bring Home to Mom & Dad but got beaten out…still salty.
Boys, Boys, Boys
Relationship Status: SINGLE & ready to mingle;)
What you look for in a guy: Honestly, I want a guy who looks past the idealistic image of a girl in today’s society. I want someone who loves my flaws, who is hilarious (but not as funny as me), and who teases me but knows when it’s time to stop. I also want someone who is not afraid to say how they are feeling- open communication is very important to me. Also can’t forget someone is easy to talk to- nothing better than listening to and laughing with someone.
Male Turnoff: A guy who is afraid to be sensitive…tell me how you really feel (drake reference). Also a guy who doesn’t like taking pictures….come on.
Best of the Rest
Proudest Accomplishment: Probably making Dean’s List both semesters last year after being sick in the fall and home for 3 weeks. Took a lot of hard work, balance, and mental perseverance.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?: Hope to be working at a job I love, potentially married?!, and just loving life and taking things day by day. I hope I am still running my food Instagram account…give it a follow @chefjwiththepotboy. Also, I want to have a pinterest worthy apartment/house.
3 words to describe yourself: Optimistic, observant, and energetic
Alyssa’s Final Thoughts
I hope you all got a glimpse of how special Julia is. If you are lucky to have her as a friend, you are lucky enough. Her smile is infectious and her personality is one in a million. So boys get in line because you won’t find anyone else as fun, unique or kind!
