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

How did you acquire the nickname ‘Pardy Ardy’?
 
I self-proclaimed my nickname as party ardy (or PARDY, for short) around the end of freshman year. I love to have fun and my name is Arden.  I creatively mixed the two into a name and also a state of being.
 
What activities are you involved in on campus?
 
I have been extensively involved in Colleges Against Cancer since I was a freshman and am co-charing this year’s Relay for Life coming up in April.  I also was a part of the executive board for Habitat for Humanity.  I have taken advantage of various leadership opportunities through my sorority, Kappa Delta as well.  Overall, I love this school and giving back to this great Rochester community. 
 
How do you find the time to balance all of your activities and still have fun?
 
 Being involved motivates me to do my work so I can celebrate once I’m done with everything.  I think being busy allows me to be efficient and plan accordingly.  I was born to be active.

 
 
What would you like to accomplish in your final semester at the University of Rochester?
 
It’s cray to me that I’m graduating next semester.  I hope to make a last impact here by just doing me.
 
 
Any words of advice to classmates/ underclassmen?
 
Words of advice–take advantage of every opportunity, every day. Don’t stress, think about things in perspective but also do great things that you are truly invested in while you’re loving this college life.
