Here is a photo gallery of Kristen in action, and here is SI.com's Cheerleader of the Week archive.

I love my school, but I almost went to: Elon University but when the opportunity to cheer for the Wolfpack came about, I knew I could never pass that up!

My best physical feature is: My Papa would say my smile. He takes over 100 pictures of the team a game and still can't believe I am a N.C. State cheerleader.

If I had to watch one movie on loop forever, it would be: Cruel Intentions! My best friend Sam and I have watched it more than 25 times together!

If you looked at the "most played" songs on my iPod, you'd see a lot of: Everything! I love anything you can sing really loud to or dance to.

The shows I DVR/TiVo are: Chelsea Lately, Family Guy, The Rachel Zoe Project, and Toddlers & Tiaras.

My favorite Web Sites are: Facebook, eBay, and of course YouTube. I am well known on the team for my YouTube video reenactments.

My favorite people to follow on Twitter are: My teammates.

My worst habit is: Biting my cheek when I get nervous, my mom hates it!

My game day superstitions are: No one is allowed to talk about anyone getting hurt or our team losing. If I hear them, I immediately run to our wooden push up board and knock on wood. This usually happens multiple times a game.

The talent I'd most like to have that I don't possess is: I would love to be able to surf.

These three things top my bucket list: Go on an African Safari, snorkel the Great Barrier reef, and visit each of the seven continents.

I'd want my last meal to be: It's a toss up between my grandma's spaghetti and my mom's taco dip. They are both so good!

The most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to me during a game is: I slipped in some mud on the sideline at one game and ended up on my face.

Three things I'd take to a deserted island are: My family, a lifetime supply of Mr. Goodbars and my iPod.

My favorite pro sports teams are: The Dallas Cowboys. My life aspiration is to be a member of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleading team.

My one guilty pleasure is: Eating Cinnamon Toast Crunch in the middle of the night.

My celebrity crush is: Will Smith. He is so funny and handsome!

Five people I'd like to have dinner with (living or dead) are: Chelsea Handler, Oprah Winfrey, Anderson Cooper, Bono and Nelson Mandela.

My friends would be surprised to know that I: Don't have binocular vision. It affects my depth perception. That would probably help explain my scary driving.

The next risk I want to take is: Trying out for the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleading Team.

The worst date I've ever been on was: Luckily I haven't had a bad one yet.
