Her Campus (HC): What extracurricular activities are you involved with here at FSU?

Kara Mavros (KM): I’m in Alpha Phi, where I’m on the Wall and Banner Committee, and I’m also a staff writer at Swatch Magazine.

HC: What advice would you give for girls interested in rushing a sorority?

KM: Do it! It was the best decision I’ve ever made! It definitely helps you stay involved on campus, it also gives you a strong support system of like-minded girls, and it’s fun!

HC: What’s the best part about being an FSU student?

KM: It’s a great time to be an FSU student! With the National Championship under our belt, there’s a great sense of community and Nole pride! The campus is beautiful this time of year and I love rolling around in the grass on Landis with my dog. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.

HC: What would you say would be your dream job, or any future aspirations?

KM: I’m an English major, so I’d love to write for The New Yorker.

HC: What’s your idea of a perfect date?

KM: My idea of a perfect date would be playing a game of tennis and then cooling down with some fro-yo. I like doing fun, different things on a first date to get to know people. If he doesn’t like my dog or doesn’t make me laugh it’s a deal breaker!

HC: What are some of your favorite restaurants/place to hang out around Tallahassee?

KM: I’m a total nature girl, so I love Maclay Gardens. It’s so beautiful and they have great hiking trails. I love to take my dog, Stevie Nicks, for walks down by Lake Ella. There’s a little café I like to go to called Sweet Pea on Tharpe St. It’s a nice, low-key hangout where I can do some homework and grab a tasty, organic snack.  

HC: What’s one interesting fact about you?

KM: I met President Bush once!

Sarah Shellabarger is a senior at Florida State University, majoring in English - Editing, Writing, Media and minoring in Communications. This is her third semester as a HCFSU staff writer. When she's not drowning in assigned readings, Sarah enjoys attempting to get celebrities to follow her on Twitter, daily Dunkin Donuts trips, praising Stevie Nicks, and (unsuccesfully) begging her boyfriend to buy her a kitten. Sarah hopes to one day put her witty banter to good use by writing for a clever yet underappreciated TV show, and eventually becoming the next Tina Fey.
