Self-Description

I am the baby of my family, who loves pink, animals, and dancing! I love hanging out with my friends and watching movies! I enjoy cake and ice cream at any time and am always up for doing something fun instead of homework. I live for short chats and impromptu sleepovers. I love to laugh and sing and pretty much anything else! Someday I hope to get married, have children and travel the world.

 
Why AGD?
I chose AGD, because I felt at home here and could talk to the girls. Also, when I rushed this house I could be myself and always looked forward to coming back.

Favorite Alpha Gam moment?
When Jorie and I had an impromptu sleepover in her bedroom the night she had wake. And all of the fun road trips/weekends away.
 
Favorite part of living in the house
I have met my best friends in this house and I always love coming home and knowing I will have someone to hang out with and share fun stories with.  It has also helped me to develop patience and trust.
 
If you could go anywhere, where would you go and why?
I would go to Rome, followed by a Mediterranean cruise. I love history and want want to travel the world, so why not do it all at once?
   
What do you enjoy doing?
I hang out with friends, ride my horse, watch movies, go somewhere fun, play tennis or go for walks. On rainy days I sleep or read.
 
What makes you unique?
I would say making a big deal about nothing and trying to make it funny. Or just telling stories, laughing, and being loud.
 
Do you have any pets?
Too many to mention. I bet if you said a pet at sometime in my life my family had one.
 
What do you miss most about home?
My family and my mom's cooking.
   
Why did you choose Purdue?
Funny/long story...spur of the moment, serendipitous decision. Ask me sometime.
 
If you had to be a zoo animal, what would you be?
Polar Bear

Lilly, because it is beautiful and dainty yet strong.
   
Future Goals
I want to travel the world, get married, have children, grow old and help as many of my students as possible to enjoy life.....and history.
   
You've just been given $500 to spend however you like, what would you spend it on?
I would buy some shoes, probably shop for my nephew, and save the rest to buy things for my apartment when I get one. Or, just go on a shopping spree!
