What’s your favorite candy?

I’m addicted to red Sour Patch Kids.  Any time I buy a bag I only pick out the red ones then give the rest away.  I also love chocolate and peanut butter, so Reese’s peanut butter cups are definitely up there too.

What’s your favorite eatery on campus?

I literally go to the Refectory every day.  It eats away at my Food/Flex points but I can’t get enough.  Honestly, I’m a little embarrassed because the people that work there probably think I’m crazy for going there so much.

What’s your favorite off-campus restaurant?

I’m really big on Watts Grocery on Broad Street; the food there tastes so fresh and the dishes are so unique.  I also like Blu Seafood on Hillsborough Road.  I love seafood in general, and their Crab Mac and Cheese is to die for.

What’s your favorite YouTube video?

I don’t really use Youtube that much, so this is a tough one.  I love Jenna Marbles’ videos.  And I guess these might not exactly count as YouTube videos because they originally aired on television, but I really like Jimmy Kimmel’s YouTube Challenges, too.  The one about the Halloween candy is hysterical.

Where do you see yourself in ten years?

I hate this question because I never know what to say.  I guess all I can ask for is to be happy and healthy.

What will you miss most about Duke?

First and foremost is definitely the people.  I’ve made some great friends here over the past couple years and I know I’m going to miss seeing them almost every day.  I’ll definitely also just miss the campus; all the gothic architecture is so beautiful.  And I’ll absolutely miss being able to walk in to Duke basketball games using only my Duke Card.  That’s a pretty cool privilege that I won’t ever have again.

Dogs or Cats?

Dogs–I’m allergic to cats.

Devine’s or Alivia’s?

I’m embarrassed to say that I’ve never actually been to Alivia’s.  So I guess Devine’s by default?

Pancakes or Waffles?

Waffles.

Backstreet Boys or N’Sync?

Absolutely Backstreet Boys.

Facebook or Twitter?

Definitely Facebook.  I have a Twitter account but I probably haven’t used it in 8 months.

Country or Rap?

Country.

Ryan Gosling or Channing Tatum?

As much as I hate to choose, I’m going to have to go with Channing Tatum.  Have you seen Magic Mike??
