Self-Description

I love skiing, fake accents (British, French, Spanish), dark chocolate, ridiculous foreign films, dancing to the best of my ability, themed parties, dork, James Dean, Woody Allen, revenge plots, Venice, and good chord progressions.

 
Why AGD?
OK, not to get all sentimental, BUT...I rushed when I was really sick, and AGD was my last house one day, and I barely had the energy to talk. Unlike some of the other houses, the girls at AGD didn't judge me, they weren't impatient with me --they were so open and welcoming that I still managed to have a great time even though I felt horrible. As I've been in the house, I realize that these girls will support me through anything, and everyone in their unique way contributes something and together we bring out our best qualities. It really is my home away from home.

Favorite part of being in the house?
My favorite part of being in the house is honestly having people to come home to. I love coming home and being able to share my day with everyone no matter how inconsequential it may have been. Being in the house has not only made me a more confident and outgoing person, but it's also made me see my own potential. These girls have shown me that I am capable of being successful and of doing things that I didn't think I could do before!
   
If you could go anywhere, where would you go and why?
I want to go sooo many places! But I guess Egypt, because I've always wanted to see the pyramids, and Paris, because I also want to see the Eiffel tower. AND I want to see Hong Kong and Shanghai too because I've heard those cities are amazing.
   
What do you enjoy doing?
ski, read, dance to awesome music.
 
What is a "Sarah Cometa" moment?
ACTUALLY there is something as having a "Sarah Cometa" moment, and usually it involves spilling something, someone falling... basically a ridiculously clumsy and/or embarrassing moment.
 
What do you miss most about home?
Seafood. Seafood is not the same in Indiana, because it's way more sketchy and tastes 100 times worse. Also, I miss the mountains-- it's a lot harder to find places to ski here than back home.
   
Future Goals
To travel, live in an awesome city, and do something I enjoy.
   
You've just been given $500 to spend however you like, what would you spend it on?
A vacation! Or... I'm kind of addicted to Sephora, so it might end up being spent there.
