Gabby's Travels In This Rocky World

Gabby's travels began with her journey west to come to college. Dwelling amidst gorgeous mountains, she takes great delight in going on hikes and exploring the treasures and stories they hold. Her passion for academics and personal drive have led her to a number of extraordinary opportunities. This past summer she spent a month and a half in China experiencing the culture and doing extensive research, which she continued throughout the following academic year. Her favorite part about China shockingly was the food, apparently the soups and eggplant dishes the Chinese prepared were delicious! I'm still unconvinced...

Gabby has also spent a couple weeks doing field work on a glacier in Canada. Carrying equipment and trekking for hours both to and from the glacier every day, it was a challenging adventure that was highly rewarding.

Without leaving campus, Gabby has also been a TA for a Geology course, which she loved as she was able to candidly share her love of rocks with fellow rock lovers. It also coincides perfectly with her future aspirations to one day be a college professor who spends her days teaching, researching, and writing publications so that the whole world can better understand why they too should love rocks. Yes, Gabby is well on her way in this rocky world...

Bringing it Home With Belinda Biz

 There's an ongoing joke in the house that after eight at night, watch out!! 'Cuz Belinda's gonna get craaazy! Ha yah this girl switches the crazy up depending upon the day... sometimes she's cackling like a witch (for hours after watching Hocus Pocus and stuffing her face with Halloween candy), continually asking to be told stories, or doing the staple gangsta impression (which is her favorite). Despite her craziness she can be pretty useful around the house, as she likes to clean and reaches all the tall things...however, her cleanliness can be more OCD when it comes to some particular things.

Which leads in to her bossy tendencies and direct insight into her chosen field of study...business. And let me tell you, she's doing a really good job at honing her bossing skills for the management realm...

Belinda is truly fixated on one day owning a cute, adorable, and oh so fluffy Newfoundland puppy (aka Newfie), and oh boy does she let everyone know it!

        






  

Belinda also grew up in Montana. Aside from the ability to boss people around for life, she chose to study Management and Marketing because of the breadth of possible career options and diverse areas of interest to pursue. And aside from her love for Newfies and order and cleanliness, she also tends to be fond of baking and eating delicious desserts and essentially sparkly/pretty things in general.

The Sparkling and Vibrant, Adrianna Artsy

Adrianna Artsy is a gentle, free-spirited soul who's creativity and vivaciousness saturates all areas of her life. One of Adrianna's favorite ways to express her creativity is through her personal style and taste. And let me tell you, this girl always looks gorgeous, and sometimes downright saucy! Thus explaining some of her greatest loves...SHOES and all clothes. The amount of clothing and pairs of shoes this darling girl has is a bit um...excessive, but in her defense, she hasn't grown since middle school so her vast collection has been accumulating for a number of years!

Another passion of Adrianna's is making art out of food. Whether it's homemade pizza, a gourmet scramble, truffles, salads, or enchiladas, there is always a unique combination of ingredients that come together to create delicious masterpieces! Yah, many tummies are happy when around Adrianna. However, only some tummies are happy when artichoke hearts are boiled...

Adrianna originally began her college journey as a Physics major, but after a year, she felt the alluring call of Architecture pulling on her heart. So she is now on track to becoming an Architect, while also finding outlets for her scientific mind with another major in Biotechnology.

Adrianna is generally crazy busy with school and extracurriculars, but she always prioritizes the people in her life (often stressing me out with her intense procrastination skills!), and she wouldn't have life any other way. This girl is truly the biggest sweetheart you'll ever meet.
