In just a few short weeks, the graduating senior class of College of Charleston will be walking across the stage over the Cistern and receiving their diplomas, ready for the next stage of their lives. Among them will be Elizabeth Berry, a 22 year old from Virginia who has been an active academic, athlete, and Greek life member throughout her four years. I asked Elizabeth some questions about her favorite aspects of Charleston, what she plans to do in the future, and more.

Age: 22

Hometown: Richmond, VA

Major: Historic Preservation and Community Planning

 

What are you involved with at College of Charleston?

– Swim team, Delta Gamma, Historic Preservation Club, Real Estate Club

 

What’s your favorite thing about Charleston?

– The brunch options.

 

What is the craziest memory you have from your four years here?

– No comment…

 

What’s your favorite restaurant in Charleston?

–  When my parents are in town, Hall’s. Otherwise, you can find me at Boone’s.

 

What song have you been listening to the most recently?

–  It’s a tie between Empire by Shakira and Beyonce’s XO. Gotta love those pop hits.

 

Tell us a little bit about your swimming career.

– Where to begin…I actually ended up not swimming my sophomore year. Thought I was done and wanted to be more involved with my sorority, but turns out it’s more difficult to quit than you think. I hated the feeling of leaving something unfinished. Thankfully, I have the best teammates and coaches who welcomed me back with open arms, and we have accomplished so much over the years. I’m so proud of my team and we had a great CAA debut this season!

 

Do you want to continue with swimming after graduation?

– I’ll probably do Masters club swimming in the future, but for now I’m enjoying the break. It’s fun taking lots of naps doing different workouts.

 

Name ONE thing you haven’t done yet that you want to do before you graduate next month?

–  I would love to go sailing!

 

Any advice for incoming freshmen?

– Be part of a lot of different organizations. I’ve found that’s the best way to get the most out of your college years.
