What's your major and why did you choose it?
My major is Nursing and I chose it because it's really in need right now and the job availability is awesome. It also is a very social career and a great way to help people!

What do you plan to do when you graduate?
I plan to get a job, get married, maybe have a kid or two... guess we'll see what happens.

Name one thing people shouldn't miss in your college town.
An Iowa football game! Hawkeye football is crazy down here, it's hard to imagine it until you see it. The games are crazy but the tailgating is literally chaos.

How would your best friends describe you?
Easy going, maybe a little weird, and kind of funny, but mostly awesome.

Reveal to us your secret obsession.
Pancheros. It's truly on my mind way too much. I know it's an Iowa thing, but it's a restaurant that has the most bomb burritos ever. I don't even really like mexican food but you have no idea how wonderful it tastes!!!!

When nobody's watching, what can we catch you doing?
Sleep. I prefer to sleep when nobody is watching me.

What would your ideal vacation be?
An amusement park. Maybe Disney World or Universal Studios, I'm still a kid at heart.

Describe your best Halloween costume.
I haven't decided yet. I'm yet to experience a college Halloween, but I have a Batman costume I'll probably wear since Batman is a big deal right now, and it's super cute.

If you won the lottery, what would you do?
Shop 'til I drop. Enough said.

If you could do something completely spontaneous right now and not get in trouble you would?
I would steal a kitten from the pet store and keep it in my dorm room. I see them everyday in the window when I walk to class and I want one sooo bad but they are expensive and not allowed in my room. :(

Where is the most beautiful place you've ever been?
Harbour Island, Bahamas. The beach was AMAZING and the water was so blue. It was honestly the most beautiful place I could have ever imagined.

Admit something embarrassing.
I still watch cartoons. Not like adult oriented Family Guy cartoons, like Spongebob and Fairly Oddparents cartoons. Don't judge me. :)

What is your most prized possession?
I'm going to have to skip out on this one. I have no idea.

Tell us something you'd love to do but are too scared to try.
Maybe move out of Iowa. I really want to experience living in another state but I'm too scared to leave Iowa.

How do you impress a cute guy at a bar?
I guess if they approach me then I will flirt a little bit, but for the most part I am too shy to be forward and try to impress a guy at a bar.

What can a guy do to impress you?
Talk to me and be nice without being cheesy. Oh, and they can be cute, and then I'll be impressed.

As a kid, did you get into trouble?
Talking too much. I don't think I really have that problem anymore.

What's your best quality?
I don't really care about a lot, so when most people get mad, especially when girls get mad at each other for different reasons, I'm pretty relaxed about most things. It takes a lot to really make me mad.

Do you have a hidden talent?
I could probably sleep 24 hours straight. That's not a talent at all, but it's something I can do that other people can't.

Tell us something that people wouldn't believe about you.
I only eat with spoons unless it's salad or I'm on a date or something where I need to make a good impression. I truly hate forks, it's bizarre I know.

What has been your best memory of college so far?
The friendships I have made. There are so many more people here than in high school so I have met people I get along with perfectly!
