Name: Libby Milo

Hometown: Staunton, Virginia
Major: Environmental Science (I think…?)
What are you involved in?
I’m involved in a CSM (Catholic Student Ministry) small group, which is great! I’m also a part of Green Grounds; I’m a blogger for them. In Green Grounds I’m also a member of the Cans to Cans organization. Cans to Cans is where we recycle cans (from frats, neighborhoods, etc.) and get money from recycling them, which we then donate to a local food bank, Loaves and Fishes. I’m also in Sustainability Advocates, where we promote sustainability activities. And lastly, I’m in the Madison House program AHIP, which does house renovations for low-income families!
If you could have one super power what would that be?
Hmm…I think I’d want to be invisible! If I was invisible I could listen in on conversations that I’m technically not supposed to be listening to… I’d go to government centers- I would be the best spy ever actually.
Something you couldn’t live without?
My support system: Old friends, friends that I’ve made here, and family. They’re the ones that keep me grounded.
Favorite outfit?
Now that it’s getting (kinda) like spring: I have this outfit that I’m excited to wear, very hipster like. It’s a sunflower black crop top, high waisted jeans, and a flower head band.
What would your perfect meal consist of?
Ooo, definitely some home cooked food. Salmon with a mango salsa and asparagus on the side. Oh, and I would include quinoa! For dessert: New York style cheesecake with strawberries, yum!
Your next trip?
Going to Italy is the dream! Preferably Sicily to eat a bunch of pasta! But if we were talking local (in the U.S.), I would want to go Alaska. Alaska seems way out there but super cool.
You’re going out to dinner, what’s your go to outfit?
LBD is always my go to! My black dress along with pearls! I always do flats, I don’t do heels—I can’t really walk in them…

Instagram or Facebook
Favorites of the moment…
Song: The Giving Tree by the Plain White T’s — It’s been stuck in my head because I’m learning (well trying to anyways) it on the guitar. So far I’ve learned the first third!
Place on grounds: Darden Balconies — In Darden, they have these balconies where you’re technically not allowed to go, but I still sneak up there sometimes. They’re so nice!
Class: Women’s Weight Training — I don’t like that it’s at 8 o’clock in the morning- but I do feel like now I know what I’m doing in the gym. And, creepy large men with weights no longer intimidate me! The class has a really nice atmosphere too.
Workout move: Ballistic Front Raises — You sit on the edge of the bench, you hold a bunch of weights and you swing your arms up and then swing them back down! It works your arms really well.
UVA gear: My UVA sweatshirt — I like how it’s not a hoodie!
