Meet Megan Johnson, a senior Comm major from Eastchester, New York! In addition to being an amazing person and friend, Megan is also a singer-songwriter, a social media superstar, and a serious hockey Superfan! Yes, I may be biased because I’m lucky enough to live with this wonderfully weird individual, but keep reading to get to know more about this week’s cutie! (Who, by the way, is also hilarious. It’s not just her boyfriend who laughs at her nerdy jokes!) One day, if you’re lucky enough, maybe you’ll get to hear her sing Celine Dion in the car, on top of our common room table, in the shower, in a variety of very public places…

More About Megan
Biggest pet peeve: Interruptions – I have such a bad memory and usually forget what I’m saying.
Most embarrassing moment: The Pep Band started playing “What Makes You Beautiful” at a hockey game last year and I danced with so much enthusiasm that I punched the girl in front of me.
Fun fact: I talked to Conan O’Brien for 15 minutes and he laughed at my jokes. He later proposed to me (maybe a lie, maybe not).
Celeb crush: Conan O’Brien, Paul Rudd
Dream job: If I could live-tweet TV shows and get paid? That’d be nice…
Advice to freshmen: There are a lot of beautiful people here who want to help you out. Let them. There’s nothing wrong with asking for help; it is worth every ounce of how hard it is.
If your room were a sitcom, what would happen in that sitcom? Lots of drinking wine, twerking as well as other uncomfortable dances, Celine Dion karaoke, ordering from Foodler, casually sitting around in towels, and no boundaries at all.
What’s your what-would-i-say.com? “happy 20th birthday to my toe…”
