-: I loved UVA.
I'm a proud alumna,
and I think UVA provided so many opportunities,
almost too many sometimes,
and students were so eager about taking advantage of them
that you felt like you wanted to be part of that energy.
So when I was on grounds, I tried to take advantage
of everything I could, big or small,
whether I was familiar
with what it was, or it was something new to me,
just to learn as much as I could
and be exposed to as much as I could,
and UVA's the perfect size to do that.
It's big enough that it has so much on offer,
but isn't too big that you get lost
or don't know where to start.
I would say one of my favorite memories is,
I was the president of the fashion design club
and we put on a runway show
that was attended by hundreds of people
and we all walked down the runway in our designs,
and other students walked down the runway.
And the energy was just great.
It felt like a really cool special thing to be a part of,
and I was really proud of how the whole event happened.
