When I first met Vanessa, she was rocking a backpack covered with stegosaurus-like spikes (don’t worry, they’re just fabric) and an even more stand-out smile. Meet this sophomore cutie who’s enthusiastic about everything from poetry to service trips!
Basic Info:
Name: Vanessa Maramba
Hometown: Glen Ridge, New Jersey
School/Year: A&S ‘14
Major: English
On Campus:
Activities: I do Appalachia Volunteers (my favorite club ever) and I’m also volunteering for the Women’s Research Center Love Your Body Week. I also just started going to meetings for Stylus, the literary magazine.
Best class: Studies in Poetry with Elizabeth Wallace. I’ve always liked poetry, and my teacher’s really into it – she has all these poems memorized.
Worst class: Last year I was in Chemistry with Wolfman – it speaks for itself.
Bapst or O’Neill: Bapst (no hesitation). It’s such an inspiring study location, with all the themed stained glass windows – like the one with scenes from Shakespeare and the philosophy window.
Fun Facts:
Favorite place to eat: I really like Addie’s. The carrot cake cupcakes are sooo good. The other day they ran out and I almost cried.
Pet peeve: I’m protective of my food, so I hate when people take it without asking.
Hidden talent: I just learned how to solve a Rubix cube (it took a few weeks)
Guilty pleasure: Vampire Diaries
Celeb crush: So many… now I can only think of guys from Vampire Diaries (laughs). Aside from them, I’m a huge Jude Law fan.
Single or Taken: Taken. He goes to BC and he was my Appa leader.
