KJ Worthington: United States Marine

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at GCSU chapter.

This week, our campus cutie is KJ Worthington, a local Marine taking some time to finish school. We are happy to have the pleasure to support our troops by making one our campus cutie. 

What year are you?

Junior

What is your major?

Management of Information System

Where is your hometown?

Whyalla, Australia

Do you have any nicknames?

I go by my initials, KJ.

What are some of your hobbies?

Electronics (I just recently built my own computer CPU/tower with custom tubes displaying colored water under a blacklight that cools down the entire system), movies, and games

Are you in a relationship?

Nope, just living the bachelor life.

Where do you shop for your clothes?

I buy most of my clothing from Holister and American Eagle.

What made you want to join the Marines?

I joined because I wanted to better myself and I was intrigued by being apart of the United States Marines because only 1% of the world can call themselves a Marine. 

Do you have any advice for anyone wanting to go into the military?

Before you go in, make sure you have a mentally and physically ready body. The Marines are tough, but that’s part of the reason why I joined.

What do you want to do with your major?

I want to be a project manager of a big corporation.

What is the most important thing you’ve learned in college?

I gained self-motivation which will help me in any job setting, and I also improved my studying skills.

I'm a senior here at Georgia College. My major is English, with a concentration in creative writing, and a minor in Marketing. I love to write fiction with dabbles in poetry. I'm happily taken with the love of my life and we have an adorable puppy (that's mostly his, but I like to steal him.) Working with HerCampus has allowed me to get to know some wonderful girls and I couldn't be happier with the experience.
