What is your favorite memory of UVA thus far?

I took ARCH 1031 over the summer, which is a studio class for Architecture transfer students, and I loved it! It was an experience like no another, and overall a time in which I was finding passion and purpose in my academic work. I also had an instructor who pushed me to work hard and I’m still really good friends with all of the students from the class.

 

What is something you know you do differently than other people?

I used to have this habit of pulling on my ear whenever I would drink, but now I’m not so sure. I guess I always panic when asked questions like this, because I feel like I can never find an answer haha!

 

What is your guilty pleasure? 

The Sims Games!
