Show Monday, April 25, 2011 AggieLife Page 7 Soccer player comes from a weird hometown By NATASHA BODILY staff writer Utah Statesman: If you could choose any career, what would you choose and why? Jessica Freeman: I would design buildings. US: If you had to live in a foreign country for a year, where would you live? JF: I would live in Ireland because I've seen pictures and it seems really pretty. US: If you could spend a day with anyone, who would it be and why? JF: George Clooney, he is just too hot even though he's old. It's no fair that guys get hotter as they age and it's downhill for women. US: Would your rather live in a big city, a small town or a deserted island? JF: Is there food on the deserted island? If there is I'd pick that one. US: What is your favorite sport and why? JF: Soccer, because it's the perfect sport. It has the perfect combination of athleticism and skill. I played when I was younger and do intramurals now. US: What was your most embarrassing moment in class? JF: It was during an assembly; they were calling the soccer team down. I started to walk down the bleachers and tripped down all the bleachers in front of the whole school and busted some ligaments. It was awful. I was this cocky sophomore; I learned my lesson. US: What has been your favorite part of going to USU? JF: The outdoor recreation possibilities. That is why I decided to come here. I like hiking, snowboarding, camping. But I'm a fake outdoorsy person, when I go camping I go in a camper. I will not eat camp food forever unless it's dutch oven or something. US: How would you become famous? JF: I can't decide between solving a huge crime case or becoming a rock really what it is. Caught on Campus Jessica Freeman junior biology Kuna, Idaho star. I kinda think the crime case would be cool because you get tired of all the famous people who become famous for stupid reasons. I'd like to help someone and be known for that. I'm a big "Bones" and "CSI" fan. US: How many siblings do you have? Do you have a favorite? I know you're not supposed to, but everybody does. JF: Three sisters, my directly younger sister is my favorite because she doesn't care what anyone thinks and she does whatever she wants all the time. I would be embarrassed to do half the things she does. She's a 4.0 student, but does whatever she wants. She's 16. She's like a punk, but doesn't get in trouble for it. US: Why did you choose your major? JF: Because I like learning about how life worked; it seemed the most applicable. If I could study anything, I would like to learn about things that happen to me. US: What do you plan to do with it? JF: I either would like to work for conservation forestry or I'd like to teach. I'd like to teach high school AP biology. US: Why do you say your hometown is weird? JF: It's a weird town because, I don't mean to hate on it, but it has more bars than maybe people. It's the biggest hick town and has a ton of bars. And when you come from there, you feel backwards anywhere else. You go down Main Street and you've got a post office, a gas station and bars. That's US: Describe your best kiss. JF: I was waiting all day. Hiked this guy and was waiting for him to kiss me. I waited from like 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. for him to kiss me. I knew he wanted to, but I wasn't going to do it. It was good, but awful. I just hated waiting. And then once he kissed me, I just left. US: Describe your worst kiss. JF: I had this boyfriend who always tasted like meatloaf even when he had brushed his teeth. He kissed me once and burped in my mouth. We broke up eventually. I don't understand how he always tasted like meatloaf— I don't even like meatloaf. Maybe if I liked meatloaf it would have been different. US: What type of guy are you looking for? JF: I like the manly man, I like a beard, kinda the lumberjack type. I'm not extremely girly, so if I had a guy who took a ton of time to get ready, I would go crazy. US: What is the first thing you notice about your sex of interest? JF: I'm really a hair person; I look at hair and beards. I really like beards, I don't know why. I once broke up with a boyfriend because he couldn't grow a beard or chest hair. We went hot-tubbing and he didn't have chest hair. I don't know why it bothered me, but it did. US: What would you do with a million dollars? JF: I would make more money and then I would just give people money for school because I hate paying for school. US: What is one thing you would change about the past? JF: I don't believe in changing the past. I guess maybe I would have known which major to pick right away. But then again, I wouldn't have done a lot of things I've done that have got me where I am. US: What is something unique about you that most people wouldn't know? IF JESSICA FREEMAN was given a million dollars, she would give away money for others to pay for school. She said this is because she hates paying for school. NATASHA BODILY photo JF: I hate Styrofoam. I can't handle it. The sound of it makes me want to die inside, I really can't handle it. My mom used to wrap my Christmas presents in Styrofoam so I wouldn't peak. Now she has to unwrap it for me. I work in the hub and they use Styrofoam so I'll put on gloves before I touch it. US: Has a teacher or professor ever profoundly impacted your life? JF: I had a humanities teacher named Professor Sherlock. He taught me that you should question everything. Even if it is true, you should question it and you shouldn't be scared of that. I was raised LDS and a lot of people don't want to question their religion because they are scared it could be wrong. But if you really want to believe it, you should question. US: Who is your greatest mentor and why? JF: Probably my AP biology teacher from high school. She broke all stereotypes for a typical biology teacher. I was so scared of her, she was like a body builder and had short hair. If she ran after me, I would run screaming. But the point is that she loved what she did and had fun doing it. US: Are you closer with your mom or dad and why? JF: Probably closer to my mom because my dad and I are a lot alike and we butt heads sometimes. My mom describes us as reckless, so he always thinks I'm going to get hurt. He made a lot of the same mistakes that I do. Like I mess around in school and stuff. US: What is the best book you have ever read, why? JF: "Les Miserables," it was a really good story of how someone can be a really goo d person and do a bad thing. — natashabodily@gmaiLcom Design: Students endure late nights ano Ilcontinued from page 5 "There are misconceptions that we just pick ates a closeness within the major that you can't paint," Groskreutz said.
