Lauren Cardinal

Lauren is a 3rd year studying Strategic Communications.

What is your favorite thing about PSP?

• Everybody is extremely down to earth, and despite having different majors and interests we all get along very well.

If you could travel anywhere in the world where would you go and why?

• I would probably go back to New Zealand. It's basically Heaven on Earth and has incredible geographical diversity.

What is your favorite Ohio State tradition?

• My favorite Ohio State tradition is the ability to yell "O-H" anywhere on campus without having to worry that I won't get an "I-O" in reply.

Andrea Orosz

4th year studying Public Health

What is your favorite thing about being in PSP?

• All of the member's good sense of humor.

If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life what would it be and why?

• Graters Ice Cream because I love dairy even though I am lactose intolerant.

What is the best piece of advice you have been given?

• Do not get married before the age of 25 because your pre-frontal cortex is not fully developed until then so you should not make any huge life-changing decisions.

Tyler Whitlock

4th year studying Psychology

What is your favorite thing about being in PSP?

• Probably meeting a bunch of great new friends and of course my family in the fraternity!

If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life what would it be and why?

• Oooh, tough question. Probably burgers even though i don't eat them all that often.

What is the best piece of advice you have been given?

• Extremely tough question... Probably this advice by my friend Jesse: "It doesn't matter how you think you should be feeling, you need to deal with how you are feeling." I think a lot of the times we want to doubt ourselves and how we feel as being right, but that doesn't matter. No matter what you have to deal with how you are feeling otherwise you'll never truly progress in my opinion.

What is your favorite part about being a Brother in PSP?

• Always having friends to do stuff with!

What is your spirit animal?

• Elephants because they are gentle giants.

If you could relive one moment in your life again, what moment would it be and why?

Julia Humensky

3rd year studying Accounting

What is your favorite part about being a Brother in PSP?

• Getting to try things that I never thought I would before I joined. For example, last semester I went to the shooting range and learned how to shoot a gun. I don't know if I would have ever done that if not for PSP. That and the people are awesome.

What is your spirit animal?

• A squirrel, while they may not be the most conventional spirit animal, I feel like I really identify with them. They are scrappy, agile, seemingly confused a lot of the time, and the ones on campus are fearless, which I think describes me well. Oh, and I spend most of my time thinking about food also!

If you could relive one moment in your life again, what moment would it be and why?

• The moment when I got to take a picture with the volleyball player Kerri Walsh. She is one of my idols and I was super excited to just even be in her presence for a moment.

Katie Ashbaugh

Marisa Lally 

4th year majoring in International Relations and Spanish

If you could have an endless supply of any food, what would you get?

• I would ask for soup. Soup is my favorite food and also allows for a lot of creativity, so I wouldn't get tired of it. Ramen, split pea, pho, alphabet, chicken noodle, potato, wedding, miso, matzo ball, tortilla, tomato, etc.

What is your favorite PSP memory?

• I have lots of great memories, but one of my favorites is when I was Gia's canoe partner during a retreat. Not only were we very terrible at canoeing, but we also got stuck in a tree that rained spiders. Gia was completely panicked and I will never forget it. 

Who is your hero?

• My hero is my mom. She's smart, independent, reasonable, bilingual, a social butterfly and great at thrift shopping. She also has the best knife skills and is super good at personal finance.

If I could be anybody besides myself, I would be...

• My cat.

Amber DuPree

4th Year (It's Goblet of Fire year, so I'm very busy trying to win the Triwizard Cup (read: graduate) majoring in Film Studies and Strategic Communication

If you could make any fictional character come to life, which would it be?

• As per my Harry Potter reference before, it would probably have to be Sirius Black. I mean that would also require him to be brought back to life (this is not a spoiler alert, you all have had several years to read OR watch Harry Potter) but we have the same Myers-Briggs type (ENTP) and like many of the same things (motorcycles, dogs, creating chaos) so I can imagine all of the great debauchery we could get ourselves into. 

What “most likely to” superlative would you be most honored to receive and why?

• "Most likely to unknowingly have a screw lodged in their ear for an indiscriminate amount of time"  It's a thing that has happened to me recently and it perfectly describes me as a being. It is also a story that is told waaaaaay better in person so holla at your Bro. 

   

What about yourself do you find the most pride in and why?

• My unrelentless drive to be myself. Sure that may mean I state things as if they are fact that are actually possibly opinion (ie "Saltwater turns your hair blonde"). Or even purchasing and consuming 36 mangos within two weeks. But I absolutely take pride that I won't compromise my authentic self for anyone or anything. (but let's see how I handle Hollywood)

What was the best birthday you ever had and why?

• Probably my 21st and it's not what you think. Ok maybe it is exactly what you think if you know me. My birthday was over labor day weekend and so I took a trip to Canada with my sister and my Mom where we drove from Columbus to Toronto and then to Montreal. The drive was beautiful with all of the birch trees. I went to the Hockey Hall of Fame sporting my new Canucks jersey and eat some delicious French-Canadian cuisine. It was so rad. Yeah, I said it. RAD.
