May I have a drum roll please for this semester’s first Campus Celebrity, and boy, is she a good one. Claire O’Sullivan’s humor, hotness, and hyperactivity not only made this interview entertaining, but also makes for no dull moments in our room we currently share. I can tell you that Claire lives, dies, breathes Christmas, kettle chips, and showering (3x a day), along with majoring in Marketing and Supply Chain Management, acting as Recruitment Chair in Gamma Phi Beta, and choreographing for Humorology. You can find Claire “getting learnt” in Grainger, “getting turnt” on State Street, and getting burnt in Marco Island.

Slow walkers and drivers, so most people from Wisconsin.

I get my fair share of potatoes and “OMG does your dad like have an Irish accent?!” comments.
11. Describe your perfect man.
A combination of Jack from the Titanic, Jay Gatsby, and Jordan Belfort- or a man who is able to act out these roles.
12. There’s a rumor around campus that you can generate Christmas names for anyone. Is this true? If so, can you think of names for Harry Styles, Aaron Rodgers, and Kim Kardashian?

Almost as good as passing Accounting 100 but not as good as when Taylor Swift releases a new album.
So there you have it my fellow Badgers, a look into the life of the kindest, “koolest,” kookiest girl I know, Claire O’Sullivan.
