What qualities do you find most attractive in a boy: easily happy, vocally kind, and handsome smile. And legs. Going to church helps.
What’s your most embarrassing Sewanee story? Picture: Seventeen years old with a fresh haircut. The first day of freshman orientation. Setting up my mini fridge in Gorgas. I shift it over just a tad and my roommate’s eating utensils fall down. A butter knife pierces my finger and I start bleeding profusely. Though I manage to dodge my roommate’s white rug, I manage to horrify my AP, also everyone. The EMTs whisk me away to the hospital, where I get four stitches. When I hobble back to campus with my wound the next day, I see Dean Hartman, who looks at my bandages and says, “Oh, you’re THAT girl.” That’s when I knew that Sewanee was the worst. JKLOLluvit, but Sewanee is small.
I also gave my friend’s cat an unintentional bath during Spring Party of my freshman year, but the details for that one are best left untold.
Give us a weird body fact: Aside from the scar from the butter knife incident, I (like Beyoncé! probably) have size ten feet.
