Campus Cutie: Julianna Martel
Age: 19
Year: Sophomore
Hometown: Myrtle Beach, SC
Major: Neuro/pre-med
Sport: DANCE TEAM!

How long have you been dancing?
Actually not too long! I danced when I was little for about three years but throughout middle and high school, I cheered at games and competitively. Now at Vandy, this is my second year on dance team and I love it!

Do you have any pre-game rituals?
Our schedules are pretty packed before games! As for rituals, I always have to stock up on snacks from munchie mart and drink an energy drink before I do anything, which is probably bad for me but its okay. Oh, and our dance team strategically makes sure to stretch in front of the opposing football team haha!

What’s the best part about being on the dance team?
That’s hard. I have three. First, I would say the people. It’s like a family. There are ups and downs, but we go through everything together and understand each other in a way nobody else could. Love those girls! Secondly, free tans… enough said. Thirdly, gameday! I love the atmosphere and performing for a crowd so I’m always encouraging everyone to come out to the games. I’m not ashamed to admit that I pretty much bleed black and gold!

  • Dream celebrity husband? ~ I’ve never really been into the celebrity crush thing. I can’t see myself marrying somebody I’ve never met! Plus, I haven’t watched many movies in my life so I don’t know many actors. Sorry to be no fun!

  • How would you describe your style? ~ Casual with a little bit of beachy-ness and southern-ness thanks to my South Carolina roots. During the day, I dress pretty sporty though.
  • What’s your favorite movie? ~ The Parent Trap
  • If you were an ice cream flavor what would it be and why? ~ Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. It’s a sweet and cozy flavor, everyone loves it, and it has a lot going on (just like me) but all the different parts combined make it the great flavor that it is!

Vanderbilt

Stacey Oswald, originally from South Florida, came to Vanderbilt as a member of the class of 2015 and got involved with HerCampus her freshman year. She became assistant editor that year and is now the Campus Correspondent for Vanderbilt HC as a sophomore. Stacey is currently a columnist for Ask Miss A- Nashville and the life section of The Hustler. She's also very involved in her sorority, Kappa Delta, as well as Invisible Children. Outside of school and her extracurriculars, Stacey finds happiness in many sources, the most crucial being exercise and the sun. She loves to attend exercise classes and is an avid runner; she recently completed the Country Music Half Marathon. She also loves Vitamin D, especially when on the beach- though of course, she only soaks up the sun after applying SPF. A few of the things Stacey couldn't live without? Good food (especially from Sweet Cece's, Bricktops, and Samurai Sushi), great books (The Hypnotist's Love Story is a recent favorite), her family back in Florida, her wonderful boyfriend, and all of the great friends she's made at Vanderbilt.
