I’ve never been starstruck with anyone in my life until I saw this girl for the first time. Her freckles are not hard to miss, along with that contagious smile of hers. Bi-lingual in Spanish and English, this Campus Cutie can also communicate in the “langue de l’amour”. You will love her for her charisma, her humor, and of course, her adorable freckles. She’s the kind of girl you would not want to let go. Meet this week’s Campus Cutie: Jeanelle Rodriguez.
Name: Jeanelle M. Rodriguez RiveraAge: 21Major: Modern Languages (French and German)Hometown: RĂo PiedrasNickname: Margarita/Jay/Pecosa

HCUPR: Most people would say your major is a bit uncommon or peculiar. How do you think it makes you different from others?J:My question is, why is it so peculiar? I do not really think it makes me different from others. I enjoy what I am studying, but I really do not see myself  in a career with Languages/
HCUPR: What do you do during your free time?J:Â I really enjoy exploring new places, music, art; reading, drawing, painting, baking, spending time with friends, watching movies, series or ted.com, sewing, singing, research, knitting and learning new things (thank you Google!)
HCUPR: What are your goals, long term and short term?J: My goals at the moment would be to get everything together, sleep wise. Long-term goals would be to get a great job that would make me happy. I want to study art therapy in Europe. Also I would love to open a restaurant.
HCUPR: Describe your ideal date and partnerJ: My ideal date would be tough to say, but it would be nice if the person took interest and planned something lovely for us to enjoy, I really do not mind if I am included in planning at all, I would love that, just as long as they do not leave everything up to me. Ideal partner would be someone… do they exist? If I had to choose this person would have to be honest, kind, supportive, someone independent , someone who knows what he wants. An individual who will enjoy the little things as much as I do, someone who will not only teach me stuff book smart, but life wise. A person who actually listens to what you have to say. Too much?

HCUPR: If you could do something without getting caught, what would it be?J: I really do not know at the moment. But I guess if I told, it wouldn’t be as fun, now would it?
HCUPR: Something not many people know about you?J: What can I say that not many people know about me? I really had a strong thing for stealing books in high school, especially “estudios para instrumentos” (don’t know how to say with certainty in English). I really love being around flowers, I enjoy drawing them a lot… and sometimes I wish I worked part-time as a florist?  I have a personal journal that I keep visible to write any sudden idea that I get for pastries, food, drinks, and my own recipes.Â
HCUPR: Describe yourself in three wordsJ:Â Creative, sarcastic, honest.Â
