Why did you choose CNU?
“I just applied because it was a Virginia school. I wasn’t really considering it. And then I visited and realized just how much better it was than everywhere else. It’s so beautiful and everyone is so nice. And I love the class sizes and the staff. I don’t regret my decision at all.”
If you could be any Disney Prince, which would you be?
“Can I be the frog from ‘The Princess and the Frog?'”

Who’s your Man Crush Monday?

Tell us about your most embarrassing moment at CNU.
“That time I got asked to be a Campus Cutie for Her Campus… Just kidding. One day, I wasn’t paying attention and walked past my room. So I walked into my neighbor’s suite because they had left their door open. Turns out they were all sitting on the couch staring at me. I said sorry and turned around and walked back to my room. It ruined my life.”
What’s the top thing on your bucket list?
“Well, I already went skydiving, so I don’t have that and that’s everyone’s go-to. I want to travel more, so maybe to go to specific places. My number one would have to be to travel to all of the continents.”
Do you have a secret talent?
“I can do animation stuff on the computer.”
Can you give me an example?
“I make short flash animations. I made one for my friend who tried to freestyle rap, so I made an animation corresponding with his failure to do so and set it to the recording of him.”
What was your favorite part about this summer?
“I did a study abroad trip to Europe through the business school. We went to Munich, Amsterdam, and London. I had never been outside of the U.S. before, so that was an adventure in itself. And then seeing everything – all of the amazing tourist attractions, experiencing the city-life and the different cultures – was all so great to take in.”
What are you most looking forward to about junior year?
“Starting my classes for my major. Now I won’t just be taking gen eds anymore, and it’ll be a nice change of pace to take classes that are truly applicable to what I want to do. It’ll be good to be learning about things that I’m really interested in.”
