I love my school, but I almost went to: Florida State.

My best physical feature is: My smile

If I had to watch one movie on loop forever, it would be: Just Friends -- it makes me laugh every time I watch it!

If you looked at the "most played" songs on my iPod, you'd see a lot of: Carrie Underwood

The shows I DVR/TiVo are: Desperate Housewives, So You Think You Can Dance, Greek and Army Wives.

My favorite Web Sites are: YouTube, Google and Facebook

My favorite people to follow on Twitter are: I don't even know how to use Twitter!

My worst habit is: I play with my hair; I am constantly twisting it -- when I'm bored, nervous, scared, etc., I just can't leave it alone!

My gameday superstitions are: I always put on our white armband, in memory of Caroline Wiren, the night before each game and I will never talk "smack" about the opposing team -- it's bad luck!

The talent I'd most like to have that I don't possess is: Singing -- half of my family sings and the other half dances, I wish I could do both!

These three things top my bucket list: To take a cruise to the South Pacific and scuba dive in the Great Barrier Reef, fly an airplane, and go crab fishing in the Bering Sea!

I'd want my last meal to be: The steak and chicken dinner at Kobe Japanese Steakhouse!

The most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to me during a game is: I ran onto the basketball court for a halftime and nobody followed, I awkwardly stood center court for a few minutes with everyone staring at me as I waited for the rest of the team to join me!

Three things I'd take to a desert island are: Tanning lotion, a big jug of water and my cell phone to call someone!

My favorite pro sports teams are: Tampa Bay Rays and Tampa Bay Buccaneers

My one guilty pleasure is: Mountain Dew, I don't get half the energy I have without it!

My celebrity crush is: Evan Longoria

Five people I'd like to have dinner with (living or dead) are: Carrie Underwood, Steve Irwin, Joe Maddon, Mia Michaels and my former coach Caroline Wiren. They've all inspired me in different ways!

My friends would be surprised to know that I: Am an avid baseball fan! I keep the books for every game I watch and I would go to every single Rays game if I could!

The next risk I want to take is: Getting a job after graduation!

The worst date I've ever been on was: I went on a blind double date and as the date progressed, I started to get a migraine, and my date decided he wanted to have a pillow fight, and kept hitting me with a pillow! It was so awful!
