her to everyone, and I hope to have her again in the future. I became an English major because of her!

Freshman Field

Biggest HC Regret: Not declaring the English major sooner and not attending more sporting 

events freshman year. 

Embarrassing HC Moment: Getting lost in the Science/Swords building and ending up in the 

jungle. My freshman year self was terrified. 

Bragging Rights: Have a photo with President Rougeau from the homecoming tailgate. 

Words to live by: A year from now, will it really matter? (That geometry test that I cried about 

for a week in HS has no relevance now… poor sophomore year Emily). 

One thing you would change at HC: Enrollment process.

walking past someone and giving them a hug

moved online 

Last thing to do before going to bed: Talk to my roommates, then answer my texts and listen to 

music. 

Favorite place you have traveled to: Italy, it was beautiful. I want to go back as soon as I can. 

Role-Model: At home, my mom. She is my inspiration, and I look up to her so much. She’s so 

strong. At HC, Megan Siebecker. She was a senior my freshman year, I looked up to her  so much. 

Something you look forward to when you go home: Cuddling with my dog Brady.
