Self-Description

I love to have fun and to see people smile. I try to make people laugh and in general, I'm very sarcastic...but I at least attempt to make it in a nice way. I love reading and school (strange..I know) but I also love going out and having a good time. I try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt and try to see the good in everyone :)

 
Why AGD?
I chose AGD, because I knew after the second day when we watched the video that everything just fit. All the girls got my sense of humor and everyone was so welcoming. I could just see myself living there and calling these girls my sisters.  
 
Favorites:
TV
The Office, Daily Show, Colbert Report, House and probably some others I forgot about.
Movies
Monty Pythons, Zoolander, The Count of Monte Cristo, Requiem for a Dream, A Knight's Tale, anything Will Ferrell, The Departed
Music
Goo Goo Dolls, Matchbox Twenty, Third Eye Blind, Oasis, The Fray, Jack Johnson, OAR
Ice Cream
mint chocolate chip and chocolate marshmallow
Color
green, purple, teal, pink...I like bright colors.
 
Favorite Alpha Gam Moment
I have many favorite Alpha Gam moments, but the first one that comes to mind is when a lot of us were out one night,and Sarah Young and I decided to go back to a different room and she tripped over a couch that was clearly visible and completely face planted in the middle of the sitting room.
   
If you could go anywhere, where would you go and why?
I would probably say South East Asia, because I used to live over there and it's amazing, or Africa because I've never been and I've always wanted to, or even Brazil, because that's where my dad's family grew up and is where my sister was born.
   
What do you enjoy doing?
I hang out with my friends doing goofy stuff. I love driving around listening to music, but that's not really as fun anymore because of gas prices. I also read a lot and love to watch my Red Sox and Patriots dominate people.
 
What makes you unique?
I think I'm unique, because of my sense of humor. I always try to get a laugh or a smile, especially when someone's had a bad day.
 
What is your favorite way to spend time?
Other than hanging out with people, I would say horseback riding. I rode for eight years and one of the places I'm happiest is out at the stables. It's probably the best distraction from life and stress that I can think of :)
 
Favorite part of living in the house
My favorite part of the house is all of the friendships I developed. All of the personalities mesh well, and you become close to people you never would have met without joining a sorority. Everybody is willing to help each other out and be there for each other. AGD has helped me to develop as a person because you learn how important it is to go out of your way for somebody and it has made me want to be a better sister and friend.
   
Future Goals
Well...I want to be a professor of Church history and to be on the history channel, but if you want to know something a little less ridiculously nerdy...I want a family and to travel a lot. I use to live overseas, so allowing my kids to see the world the way I did is really important to me.
   
You've just been given $500 to spend however you like, what would you spend it on?
I suppose I would use some of it on my friends and either horde the rest of it, because I tend to do that with money, or spend it on clothes.
