Favorite Cheesy pick-up line: I wish I was adenine, then I could get paired with U (best results when used on bio majors).
Favorite thing about UConn: How laid back everyone is. You really don’t run into a ton of people who take themselves too seriously. Ever visited an ivy? No one ever smiles.
So I hear that your nickname is Kelly, how did that come about? Well it’s a long story, but it really boils down to me having a decent girl voice imitation and looking pretty dang good in makeup.
#WomanCrushWednesday: Last Wednesday was Lana del Rey, next Wednesday will probably be April Ludgate ’cause I’m on a Parks and Rec kick now.
Favorite song to sing in the shower: I mean that’s like asking you to pick your favorite child but a tried and true go-to of mine is “Sitting Waiting Wishing” by Jack Johnson. Extra irony points if someone’s waiting for you to get out of the shower.
Something on your bucket list: To get scuba certified. On top of skin-tight water-wear being so flattering, you get to hang out with some fish and they are pretty cool.
Spirit animal: That tiny monkey with really big eyes that eats stuff really slowly and always looks bewildered.
Plans for next semester? Headed to Granada, Spain this spring. I can fit ya in a suitcase if you are trying to avoid the arctic wasteland that is Storrs in January; as long as you promise to not count how much sangria I’m having.
