What is the best course (and its department) that you have taken? Why?: I took Symbolic Logic with Mr. Ryckman my first term and he was fabulous. The sarcasm at 9 in the morning definitely kept me awake.
What one thing would you say is “The Lawrence Difference”?: The Conservatory. Even if you're not a music or theatre major/minor, I would strongly recommend taking at least one course there
What is an interesting/helpful fact you learned about LU after you came here?: You get a free membership to the YMCA. Use it, it's a beautiful thing.
What is your favorite part about being a Lawrentian?: There is no doubt that you will always be challenged, meet new and interesting people, and, most importantly, almost always have a good time.
Which is your favorite resident hall? Why?: I would have to say Trever, though I may be a little biased because I live there. The people are great and it's a good mix of fun but you can still sleep when you need to.
What is something you wish you would have brought with you freshman year?: I don't think there is really anything major I forgot!
What do you find most exciting about the new Campus Center?: The food is amazing and Summerset is my favorite place to study.
What is your favorite thing to do in Appleton?: Getting coffee at one of the local shops is always a blast.
If you were a fruit, which would you be? Why?: I would be a smoothy. I'm far to indecisive to choose just one fruit.
If you were a crayon or paint swatch, what color would be you? Why?: Maybe something along the lines of reallydeeppurple because purple is cool and I tend to enjoy dark colors, though not in the emo sense.
If you could only eat one type of candy bar for the rest of your life, which would you choose?: Granola bar! Candy is great but granola bars are better, especially the peanut butter ones. So peanut butter granola bars all the way. Sorry candy.
What is an uncommon hobby you have? Why do you like it?: I make use of my fluency in sarcasm and do theatre improv on campus. I don't know how unique that is but it's a great way to get away from studying for a while!
