Was Agnes your first choice, and how do you like Agnes now?

At first, I was set to transfer. A quiet suburb of Atlanta just did not come up to par for the East Coast city girl I am. However, the people here are nice. Decatur is pretty chill. It was difficult finding a group of solid friends to confide in,  but now that I’ve gone through that process of trial-and-error and I’m enjoying Agnes to the fullest.

How does it feel to be one of the youngest members in the class?

It is hard because there is an extra standard you have to rise up to because you skipped a  grade (in my case two). You can’t do things your legal friends can do, however my friends always make me feel included.

Favorite class?

I’m currently taking a history class about Greek Civilization. I’m really interested in the Classics and hope to minor in it.

Current Obsession(s)?

My current obsession music wise is The Neighbourhood,  MSMR, and The Beatles. The TV show I’m currently stuck on is Dexter and The United States of Tara.

Key to your heart?

Definitely someone who I have a lot in common with and is not afraid to be silly with me, because I’m always weird….Or Beau Brooks…Harry Styles is a close second….

Favorite Agnes Tradition?

 The Black Cat formal this year was the highlight of my first semester. Everyone looked so gorgeous and even though the only guys there already had dates, I had a ton of fun dancing with my friends. That’s how I met my best friend, J.

Piece of advice to incoming freshmen?

Follow your heart and know that what you want matters for your life than what other people say.
