Position: Senior Editor/Features Writer
University: Rising junior at Penn State University
Organizational involvement: Currently none now that I am transitioning up to Penn State’s main campus, University Park, after two years at our Altoona campus. I’m looking to start fresh my junior year and possibly go Greek!
Pets: How sad is it (literally) that I’ve never had one?
Nicknames: Someone once told me they’d call me “spider” because of how long my legs looked and how high I jumped when doing a jete in dance class several years ago. Throughout the years, though, it seems nickname’s for me become anything involving the color blue. Or, people will simply call me by my last name, which really is Blue. Awesome, right?!
Dream job: Working for a major men’s lifestyle magazine (which I am technically doing at the moment, just as an intern).

Screen shot of a video I took of me practicing. After a dancing-stint in high school, I took ballet this past spring semester!
Favorite color: I have a tough time deciding and have even gone as far as taking online quizzes to figure it out. I’ve narrowed it down to blue (go figure) and pink. I always denied that blue could potentially be my favorite color because I’ve gotten the question “Is blue your favorite color?” countless times since childhood. Pink just makes me happy.
Favorite candy: Sweet Tarts and Starburst: rotting my teeth since I was a pre-teen. I don’t want to just choose one!
Favorite movie: Animated–The Little Mermaid. With real people–Clueless.
Favorite cuisine: Anything edible.

You will find on my desk: Fashion magazines, my giant book of graffiti (I love graffiti art), a cup full of coins I’ve saved throughout the year… The last interesting thing would be my “Manila Envelope of Memories,” containing tons of items I’d collected during sophomore year that I connect to, of course, special memories.
You will find on my DVR/Tivo: Nothing, since I don’t have either.
You will find on my iPod: I primarily listen to Pandora. I don’t have enough motivation to get my own music after having to wipe-out all my songs due to a virus a while back. But I have Mark Rose’s cd “Wonderful Trouble” and the soundtrack from an event I went to along with variations of techno, house, and dubstep songs I stole from my brother about a year after having to delete all my music. I’ve been scarred ever since!
You will find in my refrigerator: (According to my dorm fridge) Chinese food, yogurt, chocolate, and variations of to-go boxes from dinners.
I have a slight obsession with: See aforementioned discussion about stripes. That, and shoes.
I dislike: When people don’t have goals or do have goals, but don’t strive for them.
My friends would say I am: Motivated, laid back, and easy to talk to.
I am most happy when: I’m around people who fully accept me and when I’m in New York all while simultaneously writing, because writing is my biggest passion.
Most people are surprised to know I am: 5’9
A classy co-ed is: A respectable woman, one who is tolerant of all kinds of people, stylish in her own rite, undoubtedly confident, and goes after what she desires. She sets her eyes on many prizes and works hard to obtain all of them. If this is you, welcome to the team.
