A little game of Q&A

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
ON THE BOULEVARD
Editor's note: University Daily Kansan reporter Frank Tankard writes a weekly feature on KU students, faculty and staff. This week's student was chosen at random.
She's sitting here on her bed with turquoise sheets in her two-person room on the first floor of GSP Hall. She's got her mini-fridge and her microwave, her laptop, and her big, brown teddy bear from her boyfriend nestled in the corner of her bed.
Her name is Stephanie Shores. She's a freshman from Wichita, where she's lived for the past seven years. She's originally from Fort Worth, Texas. She came to the University of Kansas with the idea of going on to medical school to become a doctor, but lately she's been thinking about changing her major to social welfare. She shares her small, tidy room with Micole Aronowitz, her friend since middle school.
Let's put her to the test with a game of Q&A.
A: Being away from my mom and my sister. Since they're not here anymore it's sort of like, 'Wow, this is really weird.'"
0: What's been the hardest adjustment you've had to make since coming to college?
Q: What's the best part of living in a dorm?
A: The people. The people in this dorm are so energetic, always trying to include other people, trying to sit down and talk to you. I think that's really cool.
A: We know each other so well. I think we both try not to get on each other's nerves. We're overly nice.
Q: What's the weirdest thing people don't know about you?
A: I have a tendency to sing in the shower. People don't know that. It's kind of crazy.
a: Do you sing in the shower at GSP?
A: I have once. I didn't think anybody was in there. Then I heard the door open and was like, 'OK, I'd better stop.'
Q: If you could be any beverage, what would you be?
A: Dr. Pepper, I'm obsessed with Dr Pepper.
Q: What do you call a sweet, flavored, carbonated beverage?
Pop, soda, coke?
A: I say 'drink' because I don't want to offend anybody. I figured I'd just go with a neutral word.
Q: What's been your favorite experience at KU?
A: The football game against Nebraska. When I came up here, it was the first time I'd been to a college football game, and that was a fun game to go to.
Q: Why was beating Nebraska better than beating Missouri?
Kim Andrews/KANSAN
A: Just because we were finally able to beat them after 30 some-odd years, and the atmosphere was so much fun. The energy in the crowd and the student section was just phenomenal.
a: Who's your favorite KU basketball player?
A: Christian Moody. He's such a good player. He's cute, too. I think every girl on campus thinks so.
Q: What's the most beautiful building on campus?
Stephanie Shores, Wichita freshman, is tentatively a pre-med major, but she is considering switching to social welfare. Shores' boyfriend sends her flowers to adorn her room.
A: Watson Library. I especially think the outside of it looks so pretty.
Q: What's your advice to next year's freshmen?
A: Probably just to enjoy it as much as possible. You only get to have your first year once. Get involved. Just have fun.
