This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at DU chapter and does not reflect the views of Her Campus.

Her Campus is proud to present our very first female Campus Cutie! Meet senior Olivia Braund, from Seattle, Washington. Olivia is a marketing major and finance minor, so look for her dazzling baby blues at Daniels and around campus!

Her Campus: C&G or The Border?OB: It depends which ones more crowded, but I’d probably have to say C&G!

HC: What advice would you have given the freshman-year you?OB: Don’t freak out so much – everything always works out the way it should. And I’d probably say, “learn to stop losing all your stuff. Now.”

HC: What was your dream job as kid?OB: A wedding planner.

HC: What are your post-grad plans?OB: Well I’m traveling Europe with my best friends. After that, I’m moving back to Seattle! You can just put, “TBD.”

HC: Favorite song to belt in the car?OB: “Listen” by Beyonce.

HC: What is your online shopping go-to?OB: I would probably have to say Nordstrom or ShopBop – Amazon Prime shipping.

HC: What is your avorite DU memory?OB: Even still today, freshman year when the lacrosse team played at Mile High stadium and my best friend from home was still visiting. That whole day was just perfect!

HC: What are your words to live by?OB: “Give the ones you love wings to fly, roots to come back, and reasons to stay” by the Dalai Lama. Cheesy, I know. 

HC: What are your pet peeves?OB: My biggest pet peeve is when people try to sing songs they don’t know the lyrics too. Also, people who talk with a lot of spit in their mouth – I’m very observant of people’s mannerisms. Oh! And not enough Oreo in my Blizzards! 

HC: Do you have a role model?OB: My Mom. She is always challenging me to be a better person. She’s always there for me and she’s also always there for everyone else. And she works her a** off.

HC: Can you explain the “Maggie” photos you post?OB: Maggie is short for my middle name, Marguerite, so my family called me that since I was born… for whatever reason. When I was little, I was obsessed with dairy queen and I used to, more or less, force/beg my dad to take me every single day and I would just eat waffles and milkshakes for snacks. I was just this chubby, weird kid. Maggie is sort of my alter ego.
