Why did you choose to attend UW-Stout?
I chose to transfer to UW-Stout because I honestly knew this was the school for me just by checking out their website! I love that it’s not a huge campus and that the class sizes are average, so it gives you a chance to get to know your classmates and professors.
What’s your favorite place on campus?
I have two favorite places on campus. The first would be the piano room in the Hovlid basement on Wednesday nights because that’s where I recently started attending bible study with some amazing ladies from North Campus! My second favorite spot is North Point. I work there with some of the most amazing people that I probably would have never met if I didn’t!
How did you hear about HC UW-Stout?
I heard about HC at the Backyard Bash that took place at the beginning of the Fall semester!
What made you want to get involved?
Well I attended the first meeting because I won a giveaway that I entered at the Backyard Bash! If it wasn’t for winning, I don’t think I would have attended, so I am definitely thankful I won because I’ve made lifelong friends already!
What ideas do you have in store for the upcoming HC year?
I think a sports tournament would be really fun. We are also looking for different ways to give back to the Stout/Menomonie community. We have many other ideas that we thought of over the semester that I would love to carry over to the Spring semester.
Where do you get your inspiration from?
Inspiration in Life: Everything I have done up to this point in my life has been because of God. Before I do anything, I pray about it and if it’s meant to be he will make it happen!
Inspiration in HC: Some of the ideas that I have are experience-based and others are just ideas that we as an Event Committee came up with throughout the semester.
SPEED ROUND:
Dream Vacation Spot:
My dream vacation spot would have to be England. The guys are usually really handsome and I could listen to them talk all day!
Favorite Color:
My favorite color is definitely gray! Although some people see it as gloomy I see it as a relaxing color.
Favorite APP:
Instagram will always hold my heart, but recently I got Yik Yak which is very interesting to say the least!
Favorite HC Section:
I would say the Health section because I am “planning” on eating cleaner next semester (we’ll see how that goes!) and the writers for that section always post really good recipes and tips. I also really like the Love section because I am a hopeless romantic like any other girl in their early 20s and the writers for that section really post good stuff!
