Campus Cutie: Rachel Copley

Hometown: Whitehall, MI

Year: Senior

Dorm:  Opus Hall

 

Having a kitchen finally!  I really enjoy cooking my own food. Also a thermostat that can be controlled unlike the radiators in LeMans that refuse to turn off.

 

Raquel/Quell (for short because my friends and I can only have one syllable nicknames)

 

Sunday morning brunch

 

Gerard Butler and Meryl Streep

 

Pride and Prejudice…but also How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days

 

Probably Greece; who can say no to that after seeing “Mamma Mia”?

 

Since I’m from Michigan they’re not totally unfamiliar to me.  However, having to walk places in the cold and brush off my car since it’s not sitting in a garage makes them kind of miserable.

 

The Backer…because where else is it acceptable to wear a tie dye shirt while dancing to December ‘63 with all of your smicks?

 

The Avenue: it’s the first thing that greets me when I come back, and the last thing I see when I leave.

 

Definitely the emphasis on empowerment of women and the variety of classes offered.  Some of the classes I’ve taken here have changed my thinking (in a good way); I think it’s due partly to the subject matter, partly to the professors, and partly to Saint Mary’s way of encouraging us grow in our sense of understanding of ourselves and the world.

 

Too many things! Go to the bars I’ve never been to, hit up some of the restaurants downtown, take a weekend trip to Chicago, go on a winery tour, hike at one of the state parks.

 

Don’t be afraid to grow in your time at SMC.  There are so many opportunities to broaden your horizon.  Go explore!

 

I’ll be attending optometry school at the Michigan School of Optometry…and missing SMC, my first home away from home.

Go belles!
