What do you look forward to the most during the holiday season? I look forward to spending time with my family at home! It is so nice to be able to see extended family members and friends after being away for so long. I cannot wait to celebrate together with them.

Favorite Christmas song: All I want for Christmas is you!

Best Christmas present you've ever received: Really nice jewelry that I had wanted for a while.

Any annual Christmas holiday rituals?: Going into New York City and seeing the Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall.

New Year Resolutions?: To continue making new friends, having a positive outlook on life, and maintaining all A’s!

Favorite/Most Memorable Experience of 1st semester: I would say the most memorable experience of first semester was the first pool party of the year- It was such a unique experience where everyone got to meet. We were all so excited to finally be in college!

Favorite 2017 movie: Lady Macbeth

Best football game: Notre Dame game by far!!!

How have you changed since you started college?: I have become a lot more appreciative of my life and the chances and opportunities that I have been offered. As we are getting older and being exposed to the real world more and more every year, It is extremely important to be thankful for what you have.

Biggest lessons: A monumentous lesson that I learned this year so far is that It is important to have your priorities straight! (I learned this the hard way when I took advantage of volunteering hours instead of studying for a big test, which lead me to scrambling last minute and pulling an all-nighter to study. I love volunteering, but for myself I believe that grades come first, then other extracurriculars!
