Favorite Thing About WSCU: The buildings (as weird as that sounds). The buildings are beautiful and have very unique histories. I mean, Taylor is amazing, and she was built when the University was called Colorado State Normal School. It has seen everything, all the changes this University has gone through!
Favorite Thing About Being an RA: Helping a student with anything! I love listening to people and giving them advice on what to do.
About Me: I am a person who you must get to know before I really open up. Once I do, you can't shut me up. I love writing poetry and want to do that for the rest of my life. Friends and family are the greatest things in my live, and I have a wall of 400+ pictures to have them around me as much as possible!
