Meet Yasmeen – a bubbly, intelligent, and well-rounded student at FSU. She is extremely involved here at Florida State, leaving her mark as a selfless role model to all. Read on to learn more about this week’s Campus Cutie!

HC (HerCampus): Who is your role model in life?

YB (Yasmeen Battle): Hmm…my mother, as cliché as it sounds, is my role model because she is and was an excellent, educated [woman] led by integrity, and she had a lot of strength. That is something I aspire to do.

HC: What is your dream job?

YB: Getting paid to travel across the US to motivate high school seniors. I feel like a lot of the time high school seniors need motivation to apply and go to college, and I feel like a lot of seniors don’t go because they don’t know about it or take the time to know a lot about it, so I would want to encourage as many high school seniors as I can to go to college.

HC: Do you have a quote you live by?

YB: Something that Mr. Kenton (FSU Associate Director for Collegiate Programs) told me really has stuck with me for a while. The quote is, “don’t ever tell yourself no, let people tell you no.” At one point in time, I would tell myself, “no, I can’t,” to certain things because I felt like I couldn’t do it. He always told me to go for the opportunity. When people tell you no, you take it as it is.

HC: What organizations are you part of at FSU?

YB: Currently, I’m the education coordinator for “With Words” which is a social justice program. I am also a part of the Black Female Development Circle. 

HC: What is your favorite place to be on campus?

YB: I don’t want to give away my secret place! You know what, I’ll tell you. My favorite place is the meditation room on campus. Not a lot of people know about it though.

HC: If you were an ice cream flavor, what would you be?

YB: Cookies n’ Cream, because I love that flavor. It’s like a cookie (the oreo) which is like my skin, and the cream is sweet and I consider myself sweet. So yeah, definitely Cookies n’ Cream.
