Meet Lindsey Tucker! She is a veteran Ole who has probably scootered past you, stood next to you in the Sunday Brunch line, or made your drink at the Cage many a times. Although I already knew this about her, this interview shows off how Lindsey is a champion of doing what SHE wants, only because she wants to. She doesn’t buy into social or academic pressures. She shrugs off societal obligations, (aside from her pair of white Converse). Generally, she lives her own truth and still succeeds! Learn something from her (and learn something about her) as you read through our short and sweet interview! Cheers!
