Welcome to the second segment of "Meet The Reporter."
Our team of writers at ASU Odyssey will be writing monthly "Meet The Reporters" as an effort to make things fun for our readers and let you get to know us!
I am going to start off by stating I am originally from a small town in Arizona four hours away from Phoenix where Arizona State is located. This distance is far enough that my parents and family are not to close, but also close enough to visit on the weekends. I loved the idea of being close to home, but also being on my own finally. I personally wanted to stay in Arizona and the three major universities were always on my mind. UofA campus when I visited was very pretty, but I didn't like Tuscan and what was surrounding the campus. I was not going to be staying on campus 24/7 so I stopped thinking about UofA even though my dad attended. Sorry, dad! NAU, was very pretty and flagstaff is amazing, but I am a baby with the cold weather and I can barely handle Phoenix cold with no snow, I can only imagine how miserable I would be in a place where it snows in the winter. This leads me to ASU and don't get me wrong, I have always loved ASU, but I also wanted to keep my mind open and check out what was open for me. I love the environment, the location, and just the people I have met being here at ASU. I would not have changed a thing about my college selection, and I can't wait to be an alumn and show off my pride with a paper with my name and Arizona State on top of it.
