What was the final factor that made you say "yes" to LU's offer of admission? LU offered me the ability to explore other outlets for majors and did not pressure me to settle for only one.
Who is your favorite professor (and their department) at LU? Why? Ben R. in the painting studio, because the way in which we both think lines up and understandable. He sees the vision I have as an artist and only interjects when he sees that I am struggling or going off course.
What is the best course (and its department) that you have taken? Why? Language and Culture in the Gender studies/Anthropology/Linguistics department. This course opened my eyes to many other areas in which gender studies could be applied.
What one thing would you say is “The Lawrence Difference”? The fact that no one person can be described as an LU student. We all are so diverse and unique in our own way that none of us could be mistaken as somebody else.
What is an interesting/helpful fact you learned about LU after you came here? LU will make sure you succeed as long as you ask for the help to do so.
What is your favorite part about being a Lawrentian? Knowing that I am learning much more than I ever could at a state school in a much shorter time. I feel more prepared for life once I get a job or go on to grad school.

 

 
Which is your favorite resident hall? Why? Sage, I spent my life in that dorm! It is close to the Warch Campus Center, has gender neutral floors, and is full of life.
What is your fondest memory of your roommate from freshman year? I transfered as a sophomore and was housed with another transfer student.
What is something you wish you would have brought with you freshman year? A tea pot and tea! I drink so much tea now that it is quite essential to have it in my room.
What do you find most exciting aout the new Campus Center? The second floor. It offers a cinema, a convenience store, and rooms to study in .
What is your favorite study spot on campus? Warch Campus center second floor Hurvis room. The room is always empty around noon and I can sit in peace while studying.
What is your favorite thing to do in Appleton? The Fire. It is a glazing, glass fusing, and mosaic shop.

 

 
If you were a fruit, which would you be? Why? Grapefruit, because they are sweet when you add a little bit of sugar.
If you were a crayon or paint swatch, what color would be you? Why? Whistling white. This "color" makes a lot of noise event though it is technically void of color.
If you could only eat one type of candy bar for the rest of your life, which would you choose? Im allergic to most candy bars so I would say Padday for the fact it might pay me one day!
What is an uncommon hobby you have? Why do you like it? Eating sushi, because it tastes wonderful and it is different from what I grew up eating.
What was your favorite theme party thrown this year at LU, and what did you dress as? Lady Gaga Party thrown by GLOW (Gay Lesbian or Whatever) I went as Lord Gaga.
What is something LU helped you learn about yourself? The ability to multi task and still make time for a social life.
