Meet this week’s Campus Cutie, Becca Quirke! This hilarious sophomore is a talented sailor and is always craving chocolate!

What is your life motto? “I have so much homework. What movie should I watch?”
We hear you are very involved in the Sailing Team at Conn. What made you want to sail in college?
I just wished to be apart of something bigger than myself. Sailing is like a full time job in college. We’re away almost every weekend for two seasons, but the team is awesome. We really tend to make seven-hour van rides and countless nights spent in hotels entertaining. Also, I love being in and around the water, so I take scuba to supplement my time spent not at practice.
How do you feel about being Campus Cutie?
Honestly, it’s not that I feel lucky. I simply feel blessed.
