Say Yes to the Jess

Major: Health sciencesHC: Activities on campus?Jess: Res Life, Colleges Against Cancer (survivor coordinator), Upscale

HC: What is the best part about spring on campus?

Jess: Probably all of the ridiculous banter that follows my terrifying sneezes from my allergies. Have you heard me sneeze? It’s terrifying. It’s like the exorcist. My dad thinks I fake them but I don’t. But also getting excited about the warmth, end of the year stuff, and getting nostalgic. I love to think about past years, it’s fun to be reflective.

HC: Favorite animal and why?

Jess: I like monkeys, I think they’re really sassy…but I love my dog, Slipper, too. Dogs, in general, are so nice and so cuddly. Especially Slipper, who’s only 5 pounds.

HC: What Hogwarts House are you?

Jess: Pottermore says I’m Gryffindor. I think that’s right, I’m highly assertive. (Let the record show that Jess, my RA, is indeed highly assertive in the face of many drunk idiots.)HC: If you could live in any tv show, which would it be and why?

Jess: I love tv shows…I think Veep. It’s on HBO, it’s about the VP of the United States. It’s very farcical, it’s about how her job is nonsense. It has a lot of ridiculous plot stories. I watch serious tv shows too, but I think that’d be too much. In Veep, I would just laugh throughout life. HC: If you could go on a date with any fictional character, who would it be and why?

Jess: The guy from Perks of Being a Wallflower, what’s his name? I don’t know, but I’m going on a date with him. (After a quick Google search) Charlie! I love that name.

HC: What superpower would you want?

Jess: I would want to be able to teleport and freeze time. That’d be really cool. I would be able to see the world. I wouldn’t want to fly, I can just go on an airplane. I wouldn’t want to heal because I should be able to die. I think the girl from Sky High is really cool (grows plants), but I sneeze from pollen so I don’t think that’s a good mix.HC: What superpower would you give your best friend to make you the ultimate crime fighting duo?

Jess: My best friend from home, Emma, is so smart so she kinda doesn’t need it, but very intense wit to the point where it disarms people and confuses them. But she kinda does that already.

HC: You just won a million dollars. What will you do next?

Jess: I would like to buy a small home, probably where I’m from for the time being, pay off my student loans, pay off my brother’s student loans, definitely need a car–a cheap car, tiny car like a little Corolla or Camry–and then I’m gonna give my parents and brother money, and then Jamie and I are going to Europe…and I’ll save whatever I have left.
