Hi everyone! I'm Nicole. I am a junior here at ASU in the Speech and Hearing Science Program (I noticed a lot of other people are SHS majors too!) I am an AZ native but honestly, I'm still not used to the heat. Luckily both of my parents work for the airline so I get to fly for free and escape the heat often! I have a serious passion for traveling so it works out nicely. I'm hoping to move to Washington state or Oregon after I graduate to get my masters and also because they have four seasons instead of just hot, hot, and hotter! My gigantic family all lives in WA too and spending time with them is one of my favorite things.
Let's see if I can conjure up some interesting facts about me.... I am a vegetarian. I hate how animals are treated in factory farms so that is my reasoning. I don't have anything against carnivores however :) I am a serious bibliophile! I go to Goodwill on dollar days and buy dozens of books. I have double rows of books on my bookshelf there are so many! Oh, and I ask for books for my birthday... nerdy I know! What else can I tell you... well, my love of traveling took me to the Great British Beer Festival this summer in London! My mom and I have volunteered there the past two years because we get free room and board for helping out. We really don't like beer, but don't tell them that!
I am obsessed with recycling and doing all that I can for the environment. I'm considering getting a minor in Sustainability. I hate when people take more than they need, don't reuse things, and are just so un-"green"! Everyone should read the book Gorgeously Green, it's great.
Even though I have sadly had to say goodbye to summer, I am excited for this semester and hope everyone has success in this class!
