What do you like so far the most about Emerson?
I love that it’s a judgment-free zone here. I can be 100% myself and no one cares. It’s just a really open and relaxed environment and I love that it’s going to be my home for the next four years.
What TV show character do you relate to the most?
Troy from Community because he’s really four years-old at heart and so am I. I love being childish.
Favorite Pixar movie?
Up. (But my favorite animated film is Kung-Fu Panda and Kung-Fu Panda 2!)
What is something that people would be surprised to know about you?
I’m a good speller. I don’t like chocolate brownies. I like chocolate cake and fudge, but for some reason when you take it right down the middle I don’t like it.
What kind of advice would you give to a girl in a long-distance relationship here at Emerson?
Long-distance relationships require a lot of trust. I know in my relationship it requires a lot of trust, especially in college. But as long as you maintain a good balance between communicating and letting them have their space, everything is going to work out.
What advice would you give to a single collegiette at Emerson who’s looking to get into a relationship?
Give the nerds a chance because if you only go for the guys who know what they’re doing when it comes to women, then you’re never going to find someone who’s of good boyfriend quality.
