If you don’t know Sarah Levine, Eckerd sophomore, by name, you will absolutely know her from her beaming smile. Dubbed “the happiest person on campus,” Sarah has reportedly never been spotted without a grin on her face. Bubbly and cheerful are two understatements when describing her lovely disposition. On top of her major in Communications with a double minor in Psychology and Leadership Studies, Sarah also serves as the Resident Advisor for Iota Wrenn, is a member of the Executive Board of Student Ambassadors, works on the Academic Honor Council and holds an appointed position in ECOS. As any Collegiette™ knows, looking exceptionally cute, being a stellar RA, managing a major and double minor and spreading sunshine at all times is a nearly impossible task. Fortunately, we have Sarah here with us this week to give us a little insight into how it is done.
What is the most difficult thing about being an RA?
“This is going to be sad…Not having a roommate. I really miss that.”
How do you balance all of your extra-curricular activities and get your homework done? Caffeine?
“Candy, all kinds of candy. Naps and caffeine.”
What’s your caffeine of choice?
“Starbucks.”
Can you tell us a little bit about your role on the Student Ambassador Executive Board?
“I am involved in choosing the new Student Ambassadors through an interview process, coming up with new ideas for events and tours in admissions and supervising all tour guides.”
What activity are you most passionate about?
“I’m most passionate about being an RA because I really love helping people and making people happy.”
What do you do to relax and unwind?
“Hang out with friends at the beach.”
If you could be stranded on an aquaglide in Frenchman’s Creek with anyone, who would it be, and why?
“The boyfriend because I don’t get to see him very often due to our long distance relationship, and I’d love to be stranded with him because he makes me so happy.”
What is your favorite place on campus?
“Watching the sunset on South Beach.”
What are your future ambitions?
“For right now, I’m undecided and would like to explore more specialized fields within communications, but my dream job would be a restaurant and resort critic. “
Often being cited as the happiest person on campus, can you give us any insight on how you stay so positive and cheerful?
“I’m really happy here at Eckerd – with my friends, my classes and my teachers. Life’s too short to be anything but happy.”
