Maryland is a southern state. True or false?
It’s not technically it depends on where you’re living. I mean it is below the Mason Dixon line, but we don’t talk like Southerners. We talk like Marylanders.

Where have you gotten the best crab in Gettysburg?
The crab dip at the Gingerbreadman. I haven’t had real crabs here, seafood in Pennsylvania kind of creeps me out.

The Holiday, The Notebook, Superbad, The Sandlot, and Elf.

Over the past four years, what do you think you have contributed to Gettysburg? In other words, do you feel you have made a difference?
I’ve always been told your college experience is what you make of it, and in my four years at Gettysburg College I have become involved in a lot of different communities. These communities have helped me to grow in different areas of my life. So naturally, I’ve tried to give back to the community by supporting others whom I have come in contact with. Through being engaged in my college experience, I have gained enough knowledge so that I can touch the lives of my teammates, residents and peers of the Gettysburg community.
