What If These Oscar Stars Went to Hofstra?

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

With all the glitz of last night’s 85th Annual Academy Awards, HC Hofstra (along with just about everyone else) watched as Hollywood’s most notable starlets seemed to ascend down the red carpet, blessing us with their carefully coifed beauty and style. But what if these earthly goddesses walked the halls and quads of Hofstra?

What types of girls would these celebs be on our campus? Who would you want to study with for your big econ exam?  Whose Facebook would you secretly stock and which one of these golden girls would you tell your boyfriend to stay away from?

Here’s HC Hofstra’s take:

Miley Cyrus

The unapologetically edgy type, Miley would be the outspoken girl in your Global Studies classes that everyone else would condemn for sparking heated debates and participating too much. Although most would roll their eyes, you’d secretly envy her rocking a platinum blonde buzz cut and exclusive neon pink Doc Martens.

 

Adele

In classic music and drama major style, you’d find Adele chilling on the quad on a spring day and spontaneously busting out into a song so sultry you’d think the radio were playing from a near by building. Plus, who else do you know who could pull off over the top glamorous fake lashes and signature ruby lips?

 

Zoe Saldana

As a slender and regal dance major, Zoe would walk to modern class with perfect posture and have all the guys drooling with her long legs and on-stage presence. And as an ironic trendsetter with a ballet background, she would trademark the sock bun as a fashion statement way before anyone else would realize it’s cool.

 

Kerry Washington

Whether doing damage control on Scandal or serving as the bilingual beauty in Django Unchained, Kerry thrives in sexy, intellectual type roles. So naturally she’d be a focused femme fatale law student. You’d find her in the Deane School of Law with her nose in a book. But be careful, campus cuties would find her looks and driven demeanor irresistible, so guard your boyfriend. “Its always the quiet ones”.

 

 

Amanda Seyfried

Ethereal and inexplicably sweet, Amanda would be the cute sorority girl on campus. Always perky, even when her social calendar is overloaded with activities, Amanda would know about half of the student body by name and treat the walkway into the Student Center as a mini-runway as she met her sisters to glitter a poster.

 

Jennifer Lawrence

With her Oscar-winning performance in Silver Linings Playbook, its obvious that JLaw is the ‘it girl’ of the moment and therefore would be Hofstra’s Homecoming Queen! (As if anything less would even be fitting?) Just think of her upcoming projects in The Hunger Games as the post-grad dream job she’s already landed. There’s no need for this golden girl to vie for extra votes from us.
