Laura '12 major from San Jose, California

How would you describe yourself in 2 sentences or less?
(What is most important to you in your life? What defines you?)

Connect with people: often, and as deeply as possible. This life is progressive; success lies in always moving forward.

What are your academic interests (more specific than your major)?

Sociology - analyzing the intuitions we have but don't often articulate about our society - women's studies, reading plays as literature (particularly Greek tragedy) and religious studies.

What do you do on campus (extracurricular interests)?

I'm currently member of: the Fuzzy Dice comedy improv group and a writer for Equal Writes feminist blog (shameless pitch = www.equalwrites.blogspot.com).

What have you learned about Princeton that you would have liked to know as a prospective student?

This community is amazingly welcoming! As a student here, put your energy into finding yourself not finding your place.

What do you hope (or plan) to do after graduation and in the rest of your life?

My plans (subject to change...): Grad school. Law school, perhaps? Travel! Live abroad, volunteer abroad. Run a marathon. Visit the Scottish highlands again. Write a book. Work somewhere were I can fall asleep at night knowing I helped someone that day.
