Choirbee of the Week: Eloisa!

Meet Eloisa, our Choirbee of the Week! She's a first-year from Atlanta, Georgia.

Is there any significance to your name?

I was named after my great grandmother, who came to the US from Cuba when she was a kid.

What did you want to be when you were a kid?

I really looked up to my pediatrician, and wanted to be just like her. I even went as my pediatrician for Halloween one time. 

Strangest food you ever ate:

Octopus, on a dare.

Place you want to visit:

I really want to see the Grand Canyon one day.

Bridges and Balloons, by Joanna Newsom

When I’m stressed out I like to:

Knit! I’ve already made a scarf this semester.

Barbies! My mom wouldn’t let me play with them because she thought they would give me body image issues.

Pet Peeve:

Typos. Particularly your/you’re typos.

Guilty Pleasure:

I have a slight addiction to oatmeal raisin cookies…but I don’t feel guilty!

Favorite Broadway musical:

Three-way tie between Spring Awakening, Les Mis, and In the Heights

Favorite sound:

The little clicking sound when you refresh twitter on your smartphone. That’s the only reason I have a twitter.

The wonderful women! And the beautiful lake!

Playdoh or silly putty:

Playdoh, because it comes in cooler colors.

Apples or oranges:

Apples! I eat at least 2 a day.

Rain or snow:

Rain! Rainy days are my favorite.

Letters or e-mail:

Letters! I’ve been exchanging letters with a pen-pal since 5^th grade!
