Have you ever wondered where Nebraska is or if anyone from Nebraska goes to UVA? Keep on reading if you want to know more about the only first year from that hallowed state.

Do you do any cool extracurriculars?

I do sailing club, which gives me the opportunity to sail at Lake Anna on Saturday afternoons. I am also on the Logistics Committee for Pancakes for Parkinson’s.

Favorite class so far at UVA?

I’m taking this non-majors genetic biology class called The DNA Revolution which is all about genetics and implications they have. I really like it even though I’m not a science person.

So you’re the only person in your class from Nebraska. How is that?

Being in Charlottesville and away from home is pretty liberating. I can’t just go home on the weekends so have to be dependent on Charlottesville.

What’s the biggest difference between your hometown and Charlottesville?

The pace. Omaha is a city and Charlottesville is a small college town.

If you could be a Roots bowl, which one would you be?

El Jefe all the way.

If you were stranded on a deserted island, which member of One Direction would you want to be there with you and why?

I would take Liam because he’s the hottest one in my opinion.

Kiss, marry, kill. Jack Salt, Tony Bennett, and Malcolm Brogden.

Kiss: Malcolm Brogdon

Marry: Tony Bennett

Kill: Jack Salt

What are you most looking forward to right now?

I’m excited for Foxfields races!
