Interview with Carly

For the interview assignment, my partner was Carly. Carly is the youngest of 3 girls in her family, and hails from Downingtown, PA. While living here at Lehigh, she is housed in Dravo and plans on majoring in math. Carly will also play on the field hockey team while at Lehigh.

Carly has many hobbies. These hobbies include running and watching the T.V. show Desperate Housewives. Carly was also on the lacrosse team at her high school. Another thing that she enjoys is rooting for the Philadelphia Phillies and the Philadelphia Eagles. Carly's favorite food is chicken, which goes great with her favorite drink, red fruit punch Gatorade. Her taste in music includes pop with some country, and one of her favorite artists is Taylor Swift. Pink is Carly's favorite color. Before coming to Lehigh, Carly worked for Specialty Medical Products (SMP) and provided general office help. A final interesting fact about Carly is that when she was about 5 years old she ran into a snowman that had frozen overnight, leaving her with a fractured skull. It was nice to have the opportunity to get to know Carly through this interview assignment.

The Hawk's Nest

The Hawk's Nest is just one of many places for students to get food at Lehigh University. But, perhaps the thing that sets it apart from the other dining options on campus is its heavy emphasis on entertainment rather than food.

When I first entered the Hawk's Nest today it was empty, but I still got a great sense of the atmosphere. From the memorabilia and old newspapers on the walls, it was easily apparent that this is a place of great pride and school spirit. The Hawk's Nest also evoked a feeling of comfort. This feeling of comfort radiates from the old wooden benches, chairs, and tables, and the carpet on the second floor.

The Hawk's Nest also felt like a sports bar. The "sporty" feel comes from many different sources. For one, there is the 3 big screen HD televisions, one of which is housed on the first floor, with the other two on the second floor. One the second floor there are also 2 air hockey tables, 1 pool table, and 1 foosball table. I am definitely looking forward to spending some time in the Hawk's Nest, rooting on the Mountain Hawks and just having an overall good time.
