ABOUT Ashton
Florida State University, Sophomore
I love my college because…
of the opportunities it has to offer. Florida State University is a place where anyone can thrive. Its diverse campus allows for successful students and a healthy environment.
I really hate when…
people judge. People are quick to size up others, regardless of whether they know them or not. Everyone has their own story. I strive to live free of judgement by embracing myself and others.
I double major in…
Biology and Psychology. In addition, I am minoring in Chemistry, Mathematics, German, and Business. My goal is to become a neurology diagnostician and run my own practice. Knowledge of biology, psychology, chemistry, and mathematics will provide me with the knowledge I need in order to become a neurologist. The root of most medicines is manifested in Germany. Therefore, receiving a German minor will be beneficial. Last, I plan to minor in business so that I can have my own practice.
At school, you can find me…
in the Tri-Beta Honors Science Society, National Society of Collegiate Scholars, and Nole Pre-Med. In addition, I intend on rushing in fall 2016.
The coolest class I’ve taken so far is…
psychology. Being that it is my major, I greatly enjoyed learning about all of the psychological disorders. To me, psychology is more than just informative facts about how we interact. It allows us to understand the way different individuals think and their motives, which eliminates wrongful judgment. If we can relate to others, we are less likely to judge them.
My ideal first date would be…
something exciting and unique. I love surprises more than anything. So, if a guy were to spontaneously show up at my door and tell me we were going on a date, I would be ecstatic. It would not have to be some elaborate, expensive date. I enjoy being outdoors, or really anything.
My favorite late night study snack is definitely…
Goldfish. They not only taste good, but they’re fun to eat as well. The little, smiling faces always make me happy.
If I had 24 hours left to live, I would…
spend them on the lake with my family and friends. I love surprising others as much as I love surprises myself. Therefore, I would also spend all of my money on buying my sister and my parents something, which they would not be expecting.
If I could change one thing about the world, it would be…
to eliminate the amount of social media used. Social media causes confidence problems in people of all ages. Whether it is a reality TV show, Facebook, Instagram, etc., all of these networks contribute to low self-esteem. It saddens me to see young girls and boys, or even adults, have a negative image of themselves.
I’m going to be Miss COED 2017 because…
of the great chances and connections that are presented.
