What is the absolute best concert you have ever been to and why?

If you asked me this before last month I would say the Taylor Swift, Speak Now Tour. But, I recently went to the Adele concert and that was without a doubt the best concert I’ve been to. Although Taylor Swift’s puts on a great show, Adele performs in such a raw and real way it’s just amazing!

I know this is typical, but who are three people you would invite to dinner (dead or alive), and why?

If I could have dinner with three people dead or alive it would be Adele because she is just so much fun and seems down to earth. I would also love to have dinner with my grandfather who passed away before I was born just to see what he was like. The third person I would want to have dinner with would be John F. Kennedy; his life and the Kennedy family in general really interest me so I would love to have dinner with him. 

Being from New York, what made you decide to come out to California for undergrad?

Well for most New Yorkers or at least most New Yorkers I know, California is like the dream. Everyone wants to come and experience it at some point in their lives. I’ve wanted to live in California since I was 10 years old and I figured college would be the best time to do that! 

What are you involved in on campus? 

I am involved with Delta Zeta Sorority where I have held a few positions the past couple years including Secretary, Panhellenic Delegate and Courtesy Chairwoman. I was also involved with planning Relay For Life my freshmen year!

Since coming to USF, what are some personal qualities you have seen grow in yourself?

Since coming to USF, I have definitely become more independent. I have four siblings so I always had someone to lean on and do different things with, but coming here I had to do a lot on my own. I also have seen myself become more outspoken, I was always a shy person and I was afraid of talking to people so I definitely have come out of my shell and become more confident. 

For the last question, if you could switch lives with anyone, who would it be and what would be the first thing you would do?

If I could switch lives with anyone I would probably switch lives with North West because how cool would it be to have Kim Kardashian and Kanye West as parents? The first thing I would do it probably just hangout with Penelope Disick.
