This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Illinois State chapter and does not reflect the views of Her Campus.

Name: Alex Hickey ‘12

Age: 21

Major: Finance

Hometown: Morton, IL

Affiliations: National Honor Society, After School Programs, Save the Leopards, Humane Society volunteer

Relationship Status: Single and looking

Ideal Date: “It really just depends on the type of girl. I like to stay active a lot, so sometimes a quick hiking trail is just beautiful. Other times I like to dress up and take a pretty lady out to a classy restaurant. As long as we both have fun, it’s an ideal date for me.”

Favorite Foods: “I’ve been called a fitness/healthy freak before, so for me it is all about eating healthy. I try and stay away from the fatty and junk foods and focus on getting all my protein, veggies, and fruits in.”

First thing you notice about a girl:  Her smile

Last song played on iPod: Home by Michael Buble. “Compared to other college aged kids I’d like to think I have a more mature taste in music.”

Celebrity Crush: Kate Upton, model from the Sports Illustrated swim suit edition

Where you see yourself in ten years: “That is a good question, as of right now I am pursuing a degree in finance, but that really is not my passion. What I really want to do is work with children, because children bring so much light into this sometimes dark world. I plan on marrying the woman of my dreams (still looking!) and living on the coast of Rhode Island with my three kids and my chocolate lab.”

Random fact about yourself: “When I was ten years old, I stopped playing baseball because I got a black eye, instead of baseball I took up playing the piano. A few weeks into my piano lessons I fell off the stool and broke my arm. OUCH!”

Illinois State

Megan is a sophomore Journalism major at Illinois State University, with a minor in Creative Writing. She balances her time between class, her sorority- Gamma Phi Beta, and writing for the college newspaper- The Daily Vidette. When she’s not busy, Meg likes to shop for the best sales, rollerblade, hang out with friends or watch reruns of Sex and The City. Becoming a campus correspondent/editor-in-chief was a great accomplishment for her because she is an aspiring writer, hoping to take on the world of mass media after graduation in 2013.
