Describe your ideal date. 

My ideal date would definitely be something extremely romantic, like a candlelit dinner with a nice view. I love when a guy can take note of the little things and somehow put them into effect, so anything that shows me you went out of your way to try and impress me and make me say “awwwww” is perfect! 

What kind of guys are you attracted to?

I’m a sucker for a guy with a nice smile who is intelligent and motivated in what he does, romantic, spontaneous, and has to love cuddling!

Describe yourself in four words. 

Outgoing, sweet, friendly and funny! 

What is one of your favorite college memories? 

Omg, can I name them all? Just to name one of them, when my roommates and I were supposed to go out across the street for only ten minutes and didn’t come home until almost 6 in the morning. We ended up super far away from our house. We still laugh at what a bad idea that was! 

If you could have lunch with anyone in the universe, who would it be and why? 

I would have lunch with Oprah. She’s very motivational, always standing tall and supporting what she believes in. She’s such a humanitarian too! 

What’s your dream job? 

I actually have two dream jobs, just in case one doesn’t work. A social worker for victims of domestic violence and/or a speech therapist for kids. 

If you had the opportunity to travel/live anywhere in the world, where would you go? Why? 

I would love to live in Spain! Everything about it is beautiful, starting with the culture. I’m hoping to study abroad there sometime soon *fingers crossed*. 

How does it feel being this week’s campus cutie? 

Well at first I felt more flattered because I thought only my name would be shown and then I saw I would be interviewed and I got really shy! My roommates kept teasing me too, so that made me shyer but the whole campus cutie idea Her Campus has going on is so cute and cool. 

Author’s note: The first thing Micaela said when I asked her to be this week’s campus cutie was if she could add it to her resume. So cute!
