10 Things You Should Know About Me

Hello friends!

When I woke up (bright and early) today, I was somewhat astounded by the fact that it’s September 23rd. Thats, right folks, SEPTEMBER 23RD. I’ve been here on The Hill for well over a month now, which is super crazy to put into perspective. Before I delve into the many experiences I have enjoyed here at Holy Cross, allow me to tell you a little about me!

Let’s begin with the basics:

1. My name is Emily. I’m from Connecticut. Nothing remarkable here.
2. All HC freshmen are undecided, but I’m considering a Political Science major because I think government is important and stuff.
3. I’m here to provide you with a different window to look at Holy Cross through. Please remember that my experiences are unique, and be sure to check out other Holy Cross blogs to find different perspectives.

Now for some more fun things:

1. I am taking two languages this semester: Spanish and Arabic. So, Hola and A’hlan wa Sah’lan to all of my foreign language nerd friends!
2. I’m a vegetarian but am totally accepting of all of my omnivorous buddies. My favorite foods include hummus and mac and cheese (especially of the homemade variety, shout out to Mom and Grandma for when I’m home fall break).
3. My favorite movie is Shawshank Redemption but a close second is The Green Mile. My favorite book is The Great Gatsby, hands down.
4. I’m a big fan of John and Hank Green, please check them out if you’re unfamiliar. They do educational things which are great as well.
5. I like many kinds of music, but lately I’m into Nick Drake and Modest Mouse. I have a record player too which is fun to play oldies I can get for $1 at goodwill.
6. I really enjoy singing and will actually be going to a callback tonight for one of HC’s acapella groups. I’ll be sure to let you all know how it goes.
7. I only wear two pieces of “jewelry” consistently, and they are jelly bracelets. One is in memory of my friend from high school, the other says DFTBA, which stands for Don’t Forget To Be Awesome, which comes from John and Hank Green.

I hope you all have a sparkling week!

DFTBA
