This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Emory chapter.
Meet this week’s Campus Cutie, Abbey! When she’s not dropping Dooley Dollars at Kaldi’s or helping SPC plan awesome events, you can catch her plié-ing around campus. Check out below for more about Abbey!
The basics:
Full Name: Abbey Kelly

Her Campus Emory (HCE): What’s your greatest moment at Emory?
Abbey: I essentially peak at any point I am awkwardly dancing in Asbury Circle for an SPC event, but my favorite specific moment was when we covered Asbury with bubble wrap. I spent the entire afternoon dancing to 2000’s throwback songs on bubble wrap and even got a mom from a tour guide group to come dance with me. (I really hope that mom’s kid comes to Emory.)
HCE: What has been your biggest struggle at Emory?
Abbey: Spending all my Dooley Dollars at Kaldi’s. (I have been called out by the employees on many occasions for going there more than once a day.)
HCE: What do you see yourself ideally doing after you graduate?
Abbey: Hopefully working for an advertising agency and/or pitching a start up idea on Shark Tank.
HCE: What’s your most embarrassing moment?
Abbey: I once fell down all the stairs at the WoodPEC, thought nobody noticed, and then realized an entire tae kwon do class was watching me. Another time I tripped on a LITERAL LEAF, fell over, and slid down that small hill coming down from the DUC.
HCE: What is your guilty pleasure?
Abbey: Plié-ing at different locations around campus. I have been told I have amazing achilles tendons and I can turn my feet around backwards. It’s the one dance move I excel at and I feel the need to do it constantly.
HCE: Describe your ideal weekend.
Abbey: It would first involve brunch at West Egg with all my friends and minimal wait time. I would go to the Beltline and admire the aesthetics as well as pet everyone’s dogs. There would probably be a Kanye West concert involved as well as exploring Atlanta coffee shops.
HCE: Who inspires you?
Abbey: This is a toss up between my parents, Tina Fey, and Doug the Pug.
HCE: What is the number one thing on your bucket list?
Abbey: To achieve something weird enough to have a TLC show produced about me.
HCE: If you could ask your future self on question, what would it be?
Abbey: Is the predicted avocado shortage a real thing? I’m pretty worried about this.
