UCR is often called the ” Reject School” do you agree or disagree? How do you feel about that?
Agree.  It’s a shame because it is actually not as bad as people think it is.  My biggest issue about the school is just the location/surroundings around UCR because it is literally located in the middle of nowhere exciting, Whereas people who go to school in UCLA have so many more things to visit and explore.

What’s a common misconception of people from California?
People think that a lot of people in LA live very laid back lives, but in reality a lot of Californians live really busy and rushed lives constantly bustling between places and activities be it work or school or errands.  

Lauren Conrad started her career as a reality starlet, how do you think she was able to transition from that to becoming a successful business woman?
She was able to shift from being a reality star into a successful business woman who actually owns her own clothing line because of her extremely hard working and ambitious attitude.  Even while working on the hills and laguna beach, Lauren conrad was always interested in fashion, which helped net her first internship at teen vogue.  while continuing her tv show, finishing college and her intensive teen vogue internship, lauren conrad finished school and quickly began moving up in the fashion industry wherein she netted a new job working for kelly cutrone which helped her launch her career as a fashion designer.  

What motivates you to follow your dreams?
I hate feeling as if I could have done better in whatever I do, which is why I have big dreams and the ambition to reach them.
