Everything in life is about perspective. I try approaching even frustrating things or controverisal issues with a positive attitude and open mind.

JN: What’s an embarrassing story you’re willing to share?
TS: This past weekend I was helping out after the harvest dinner, cleaning, and we took a huge pot of soup home with us. I was carrying said pot outside against me (in the dark) and was like “wow this pot is pretty hot still”. I got in the car and looked down and there was red/orange soup spilled all down the front of me!! After this my friend Lizzie drove over a speed bump and when I got home I found soup stuck inbetween my socks and WHITE Converse. It looked like a baby threw up all over me.
JN: How do you feel about being nominated as a Campus Cutie?

JN: What would you like to be remembered for?
TS: I would like to be remembered as a loyal and loving friend/family member. I think that being happy and making others happy is the most important part of life.
