ABOUT Lexie
University of Arkansas, Freshman
I love my college because…
from the first visit, it instantly felt like my home away from home. I knew it was somewhere I could thrive and be comfortable. Also, I got a scholarship to come here, which was very helpful.
I really hate when…
people chew with their mouths open or try to talk while food is still in their mouth. Talk about gross.
I major in…
Special Education with a minor in Communication Disorders. I hope one day to become a teacher for kids with special needs and also be a speech pathologist.
My hometown is awesome because…
I am from St. Louis and have lived there my whole life. The relationships I have formed there are honestly the most amazing part. Coming home to see all of my best friends is the best. Also, the city in and of itself is so cool and has so much to do!
At school, you can find me…
I rushed this fall at The University of Arkansas and joined Zeta Tau Alpha. I love my sorority and all the connections I have made with people thus far. Along with that, Zeta’s philanthropy is Breast Cancer Awareness and Education. And from having a mom who is a Stage 4 Breast Cancer survivor makes me love my sorority even more!
The coolest class I’ve taken so far is…
Psychology, for sure. I find it so fascinating to learn about the human mind and why we do the things we do. My professor is also awesome for this class, making it one of my favorites!
My ideal first date would be…
honestly, I am not picky at all. I would be happy just ordering in food and watching movies. But I also love dates that involve spontaneity, such as late night car drives with the music blaring, hikes, trying a weird food joint, etc.
My favorite late night study snack is…
I could lie and tell you I always reach for veggies and hummus, but that’s just not the case. I usually find myself reaching for a bowl of ice cream or chocolate covered nuts or berries.
If I had 24 hours left to live, I would…
spend them with all the people who loved me most while doing the craziest things on my bucket list. Sky diving would definitely get done before I passed.
If I could change one thing about the world, it would be…
the hate in this world today is unreal. I believe that there was and is a plan for this world and all this hate was never part of it. I wish we could all just love one another and love one another well.
If I could give my younger self one piece of advice, I would say…
do not care. Do not care about those mean girls. Do not care about what people think of you. Do not care who talks badly about you. Just let go of all the stress and anxiety over these little things. Not everyone is going to like you, and that perfectly okay. Just focus on what you do have and the people who do love you.
I’m going to be Miss COED 2017 because…
I genuinely think this would be a great opportunity for me! I’ve never entered anything like this before and found the idea so cool!
