I first met Suzanne on move-in day because she lived on the same floor as me. She is honestly the nicest person I have met in my life, and I pomise I’m not even exaggerating. I have seen her stay up until 5:00 a.m. to help a friend write a paper, and she always goes out of her way to be nice to everyone. She is also super funny, and she’s just an all around amazing person. She is also very involved on campus and extremely smart (I am very jealous of her GPA tbh). I got the chance to interview her for this article and even got to know a little more about her in the process.
