Meet the Interns.... Lindsey Sauter

Lindsey tells us five things about herself....

1) I am a second year Communication major at Miami University and absolutely love it!  I feel very lucky to have found a college that I truly love and feel at home at.

2) Some (or all) who know me well would say that I have a ridiculous love for Taylor Swift.  This started when I was 14 years old and I’ve loved her music ever since!  I’ve even gotten to meet her a few times… the fact that she’s just as nice in person as she seems through her music makes her even cooler to me!

3) I absolutely LOVE South Carolina.  Everything is so beautiful down there, from the beaches to the plantation-style homes to the palm trees… I love vacationing there!

4) I’m the type of person who listens to Christmas music before Thanksgiving… I am crazy about the Christmas season!  Last year, I decorated my entire dorm with Christmas lights, paper snowflakes, garland, and a Christmas tree.  This year I decided to tone it down and just stuck to some lights, a tree, and some yummy-smelling candles.

5) My method of relaxation is baking.  I love finding fun new recipes, especially from Pinterest!  I usually end up giving most of treats to my boyfriend because if I don’t, I can’t resist eating them all myself…I have a major sweet tooth. 

Get to know Lindsey a little better...

Favorite song? My favorite song tends to change by the week... but right now I'm really loving "Not Over You" by Gavin DeGraw!

Books or magazines? It takes a lot to get me really hooked on a book, but I recently finished The Hunger Games and am re-reading it in anticipation of the movie, so definitely The Hunger Games!

Chocolate or Vanilla?  CHOCOLATE.  Godiva, please!

Coke or Pepsi?  Coke!

UC or Xavier? My mom is a UC alum, and my house has always rooted for the Bearcats.

Skyline or Gold Star?  I enjoy both, but would choose Skyline over Gold Star any day.

Describe your personality in five words or less: Driven, outgoing, organized, happy, enthusiastic.

Describe your style in two words or less: Girly/classic

Favorite color: Pink

Favorite wedding trend: I love it when a bride has her bridesmaids choose their own dress style within the same color family.
