Laura Robinson
1. Major/Year:
Secondary Education and English Major with a History Minor, Junior
2. Hometown:
Dedham, MA
3. Why you chose Clemson University:
I’ve lived just outside of Boston my whole life, so I was really sick of the cold
weather. I applied to a bunch of southern schools, and my visit to Clemson made
me fall in love!
4. Favorite thing about writing for Her Campus Clemson?
I’ve just started writing for Her Campus but I already love it. As an English
major, I’m constantly writing academic essays for my classes. Her Campus
Clemson lets me create fun pieces that I wouldn’t otherwise get the chance to
write.
5. What else are you involved in on campus?
I am a brother of Phi Sigma Pi national honor fraternity. Joining PSP was the
best decision I’ve made at Clemson! My brothers are my family.
6. Favorite Clemson restaurant/bar?
I crave Osaka and Monterrey’s on a daily basis.
7. What do you do in your free time?
My classes are crazy, so I spend a lot of time in Cooper and Starbucks! When
I’m not studying, I love reading, writing, working out, shopping, cooking, and
binge watching reality TV.
8. Celebrity crush?
Chris Pratt
9. Favorite Clemson Tradition?
It’s hard to pick because I love all Clemson traditions! Probably, any football
related ones would be my first choice though.
10. Ideal/best first date you have been on?
I’m pretty simple when it comes to that kind of stuff. The best first date I’ve
gone on was just a dinner at a good restaurant. I think it’s more about the
person than the actual date itself.
11. What do you want to do in your career?
Right now, my degree is for teaching, and education is super important to me.
After graduation, though, there are a few different paths I could take, so I’m
still deciding!
12. Current favorite fashion trend?
Fall is approaching so I’d have to say oversized sweaters. They’re so comfy!
13. What fun things did you do this summer?
I work at a really yummy ice cream shop in Boston, so I spent most of my
summer scooping. On my days off, I spent a lot of time in a little beach town
called York, Maine.
