Name: Robin
Major: Advertising, French Minor (going to work for an advertising agency)
Describe yourself in three words: blunt, goofy, practical

Robin was born in Hammond, IN and moved to Chicago, IL, then Norcross, GA and finally John's Creek, GA, but the region she most identifies with is the Chicago/Midwest area. Moving at age 13 from the Midwest to the South was an awkward stage, but that it was a time to "reflect on myself". She quotes that she was the "loser in high school" but learning to adapt to a new region made her stronger as a person. She has lived in the suburbs and strongly wants to live in the city because it provides a sense of independence for her. Robin lives by Plato's quote "be kind for everyone is fighting a hard battle". She says that you may not know people's stories or why they are having a bad day, so "don't take things personally...90% of the time, it's not personal". She says to manage your time, take time for yourself, and be kind to your body. One of the biggest questions she asks herself is "Why not?". You have nothing to lose so don't be scared of taking risks, just do not be stupid, "do something that's out of your reach, you're only young once". She hates the word "nice" because it means nothing and is a shallow word. She, instead, prefers to judge people by the "content of their character". Robin also told me I should read Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five, so I think I'll order it off of Amazon tonight.
