| What is the best course (and its department) that you have taken? Why?: | Biology 110--we went into more detail from cells to ecosystems than I'd ever delved into in high school. Also the labs are extremely interesting--I remember splicing genes and searching for enzymes present in different vegetables. |
| What one thing would you say is “The Lawrence Difference”?: | Classes with 40 or more students are considered huge. |
| What is an interesting/helpful fact you learned about LU after you came here?: | The professors really do care about each individual student of theirs. |
| What is your favorite part about being a Lawrentian?: | Being a member of a friendly, supportive community. |
| Which is your favorite resident hall? Why?: | Ormsby, because it's beautiful and cozy (and holds fond memories of freshman year. |
| What is something you wish you would have brought with you freshman year?: | A working camera! |
| What is your favorite study spot on campus?: | The Somerset room on the 3rd floor of Warch. It's very open, comfy and quiet. |
| What is your favorite thing to do in Appleton?: | Hang out in one of the many locally-owned cafes on College Ave. |
| If you were a fruit, which would you be? Why?: | I'm like a peach 'cause my mom called me Peachy when I was a baby. |
| If you were a crayon or paint swatch, what color would be you? Why?: | Seaside sunset..? A very light turquoise-indigo I suppose. Shades of green and blue make me happy. Also I'm very into environmental protection! |
| What is an uncommon hobby you have? Why do you like it?: | I like to pluck hairs. It helps me relieve frustration. I get very excited if someone asks me to pluck their eyebrows. |
| What is something LU helped you learn about yourself?: | I am often overly intimidated by people, but coming here has helped me realize that everyone, even those who seem to be musical (or physics-cal or theatrical or languages-cal) geniuses are probably great people with their own inner battles. |
