Her Campus Boise State: So, I see you’re majoring in Geosciences. How did you become interested in that?
Samantha Vega: I have always been really conscious about the earth and always knew I wanted to do something for the environment. I don’t want to be in a cubicle all day– I want to travel and work outside.
HC: That’s awesome! Why did you decide to emphasize in Hydrology?
SV: Because I feel water is something that is essential. There is always going to be a demand for it. Water is hugely important and necessary for our survival.
HC: After you graduate, what do you plan on doing with your degree?
SV: Hopefully getting a job, but it kind of depends on what kind of jobs come my way. There are a lot of different jobs to do with hydrology. Ideally, I’d like to do something with Costal Geomorphology.
HC: Ooh… and what is Costal Geomorphology exactly? ;)
SV: It’s basically studying sea cliff erosion and how it develops over time. Or, studying sea cliffs and their stability, and the role of human interaction in their continued stability.

HC: Oh, definitely! So tell us: what’s the most thrilling thing you’ve ever done?
SV: Hands down, ziplining in Costa Rica.
HC: That’s awesome! Okay, next question: if you had super powers, what would you have?
SV: I’d either want to be super stretchy or to be able to fly
HC: Super stretchy, you say… how come?
