Say hello to this week’s Campus Cutie, Sarah West! You can catch her running around Eugene, her friends call her, Swest, and she has an obsession with Lady Gaga. What’s not to love about our lovely, Swest?
Name: Sarah West
Year: Sophomore
Major: Business
Hometown: Bend, Oregon
Relationship Status: Single
HCO: If you couldn’t attend the U of O where would you go and why?Â
I’ve always wanted to go to school in Boston or North Carolina! I really like the idea of being somewhere so different from where I grew up, and not knowing a single person.Â
HCO: Describe yourself in three words.
1. SassyÂ
2. CharismaticÂ
3. LoyalÂ
HCO: Who is your role model?Â
Lady Gaga does whatever she wants and she doesn’t care what anyone thinks. I also love that she believes that if you act a certain way, eventually that’s who you will become. She says she acted rich and famous until it happened, but I think you can apply that logic to anything you want. So I’m just going to act classy and important until I actually am. Â
HCO: What is something you tell yourself to feel better when times get tough?Â
I tell myself to go for a run. I use that time to stop thinking about everything that’s bothering me, and when I get back I’m more able to deal with things because I’ve taken a solid break. Â
HCO: What are three things on your bucket list?
1. Run the from the Pacific to the AtlanticÂ
2. Catch a falling pineconeÂ
3. Get a pilot’s license Â
HCO: What do you enjoy doing with your free time?Â
Running! I’m currently training for my third marathon, so that’s how I spend most of my free time, if I’m not on the Kappa Kouch. Â
HCO: Where do you see yourself after college?
Ideally I would be traveling the world, working abroad, or starting a winery. If not any of those, I assume I will be applying to open a Taco Bell franchise on 13th Ave. Â
HCO: What qualities make a boy attractive and worth pursuing?
I love good gentleman! Who is genuinely interested in me and what I have to say. If he likes country music it’s a bonus, but it’s not a requirement. Â
HCO: Who is your celebrity crush?Â
I think Channing Tatum is a perfect mix of funny, outgoing, and sweet. And he is a hottie. Lady Gaga takes a close second though. Â
HCO: Describe a perfect date.Â
Well if we’re talking PERFECT, you can’t beat a crazy surprise, like a helicopter ride or something. But I love outdoors-y things, like a hike or bike ride, and then follow that up with food obviously. Probably thai.  Â
HCO: Where is one place you would love to travel to?
Italy! I want to study abroad there. I don’t speak Italian, but I’ll worry about that when the time comes.Â
