Likes: “So…I like roses, and daises, I love bees and singing when I am alone or in the shower. I love the beach, especially the sand, missed the gritty feelings on my toes. I love the snow, and winter, but I love Spring and summer. I like fantasy, like WoW or League of Legends. I like pretending I am a mermaid/faerie princess when I am drawing. Did I mention I like to draw? I like apples that are fresh and peaches that are juicy. I love the smell of fresh linen, and the smell of a forest.”
Dislikes: “I dislike rude behaviors. I am not a fan of attention seekers, I can not stand people that ignore other or people who are just blatantly inappropriate for their own sake. I hate seeing flowers in a vase. I am not a fan of the color mauve- its too confusing? I dislike autumn cause I never know what to wear. I also dislike artificial strawberries, if you can’t get the real thing- why try?”
Favorite Music: “KPOP, For sure. 100% I love KPOP. That’s it. KPOP.”
Q: What made you decide to go to Woodcrest?
A: “Why Woodcrest? Well- that’s easy…I am not from New England. I wanted to experience life here that I never had before. I wanted to know the four seasons and I wanted to find people who weren’t in my small circle back at home. Woodcrest popped out for me, something about the school’s design and the people- even all the extra bits like the magazine and such, they just made this place feel special to me. I know my mom misses me but I had to go live my life without having my parents in my shadow. I think I chose a location far enough for their shadows not to reach.”
Q: What is the one thing that you love about Woodcrest?
A: “I feel like saying the people at Woodcrest would be too generic, it wouldn’t be honest. I love the campus and the small town vibes; I love that everything has the home vibe. Though i do not live on campus, my oppa and I found a place together. I still enjoy the fact that we can come here and it just doesn’t feel like anything remains the same here. But truly the one thing I love the most about Woodcrest, is DOE. My sisters. My chosen family… They have my heart, and they make me feel loved like no other.”
Q: What would you say has been your biggest accomplishment so far at Woodcrest?
A: “My greatest accomplishment at Woodcrest, was finally telling my best friend that I loved him. It didn’t happen here. We were out of state but if not had been for Woodcrest involvement, it wouldn’t have never happened. I wouldn’t be so happy now with my oppa.”
Q: What would you consider your most embarrassing moment at Woodcrest?
A: “My most embarrassing moment was during my first tits-o’clock at Chandelier. On my first day, I wore a body suit so I was nearly naked while serving drinks. I was so shy back then, still am. But, it was the most fun I had, even as my body turned red with blush!”
Q: What is the one thing that you think people will remember you for in Woodcrest?
A: “My…kindness. I was always kind, to everyone. Remember to always be kind to people who are kind.”
