Activities at OU: Kappa Alpha Theta Sorority, Crimson Club (student ambassadors), Panhellenic Association, JCPenney Leadership Program, ConocoPhillips SPIRIT Scholars Teaching Assistant, Bethel Baptist Church

Hobbies: Spending all free time with friends, going to Classics, reading for fun, learning to cook, spending time at Starbucks, taking pictures

Why I chose OU: More opportunities than I could have ever imagined! I enjoyed the fact that I had so many opportunities and yet I never felt like I was getting "lost in the crowd." The National Scholars' Office was available to answer all of my many questions and the students and faculty that I met were all very helpful. Plus, once I heard President Boren's passion for this university, I was sold!

Favorite music: Shane and Shane, Warren Barfield, Michael Buble, Bethany Dillon, and all jazz and piano music

Favorite TV shows: "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition," "The O'Reilly Factor"

Favorite movies: Serendipity, Cinderella Man, and all old classics

Favorite quote: "The cheerful heart has a continual feast." - Proverbs 15:15

Favorite things to do in Norman: I definitely enjoy walking around Campus Corner, especially lunch dates at Cafe Plaid, and basically just visiting all of the restaurants and boutique shops on Boyd Street. I look forward to free movie nights in the Union, or going out to movies with friends. I am also lucky to have found a great church college group here in Norman. We can usually be found relaxing/studying at Starbucks or spending time at some OU sporting event.

Other schools considered: University of Tulsa, University of Arkansas, Southern Methodist University
