Favorite Starkville Restaurant:

My favorite restaurant in Starkville is Bulldog Burger because they have the amazing three-cheese grill!

Favorite MSU Memory:

My favorite MSU memory would have to be the last night of New Maroon Camp, for the 3rd time in a row! This night is so special for so many reasons, but the biggest one is that it reaffirms the feeling of unity and family that I first felt when I stepped foot on campus.

Favorite MSU Tradition:

My favorite MSU tradition is the cowbell. Being a first generation student, I am so grateful to be able to hold something that is completely unique to my alma mater. It always brings me so much joy to be able to claim it and to share my experience with others! More than anything, I love it because each cowbell has its own story. I've heard of some cowbells being passed from generation to generation, and I think that is so special.
