Is love really blind? Just ask this avid reality TV viewer and humble sophomore orgo master from Lebanon—the burb in Ohio, not the country. Abby’s aiming for a Biosciences major… or maybe a Chem major? Actually, just ask her when you get here. Abby is incredibly well rounded, whether she’s singing (ask her about show choir!) or carrying Sid on her back as secretary. Speaking of music, catch Abby listening to her favorite artist, Post Malone. If you’re interested in intramural sports, you can find Abby destroying the competition on the volleyball court. On campus, you might find her touring a group of eager applicants, trying to figure out who’s from the Midwest. By having her as your advisor, at least 80% of your networking goals are met. Abby’s a true altruist at heart. You’re lucky to have a loving, capable O-week parent; have no fear when Abby is here!

Are you looking for a LOUD, SUPER HYPE PERSON??! Well keep looking, cause Angela is the exact but perfect opposite. She’s a sophomore double majoring in English and VADA from Dallas (but NOT Fort Worth— cough cough Colin). You can’t catch Angela without her digicams, so if you see a camera pointed at you, don’t worry— she’ll make you look good with her Fujifilm filters. She may be a shy mysterious bookworm, but she’s always down to book it to a party. After O-Week, she’ll host RAGERS at her apartment so she can show off her signature hand bop dance moves. Whether it be preaching about Phoebe Bridgers and Taylor Swift or showing off her favorite memes, she is always open to talk to you about anything as silly as her mario jumping noise or anything as serious as grammar. O-Week kiddos: prepare to have the slayest O-Week with Angela by your side.

Don’t know a single thing about or from Indiana? Congrats! Your new o-week dad hails straight from the corn fields of West Lafayette, IN. When you meet him he might be dressed like a semi-normal sidizen, but you’ll spend the rest of the year catching him dressed in his default outfit: pj pants, rice crewneck/hollister sweatshirt, and (if you’re lucky) his jesus 3000s dad sandals. It’s hypothesized that as a small child, he took ten times the recommended dosage of his Flintstone vitamins and can now use up to 110% of his brain. That’s why Jashun’s double majoring in Biochemistry and Comp Sci (and if he tells you he’s not premed he’s lying) with a minor in FCAM (Financial Computation and Modeling). So if you can get him to leave his room and put down Super Smash Bros, he’s a great study buddy & premed/comp support. Despite the lengthy list of Jashun’s strange habits, you’ve won Indiana’s national treasure (and he is genuinely lovable, kinda like a black lab, and might just make you laugh once in a while).

Ah yes Colin Wei, a sociology major and Beer Bike Coordinator who loves to munch, sleep and play Mario Kart. Colin is a slow eater, but that doesn't stop him from enjoying every bite of Cane's chicken. Despite his laid-back personality, he's a driven student with aspirations of becoming a doctor. Colin also takes his cleaning seriously and is known for his skills as a vacuum cleaner cleaner. Colin enjoys producing and working on creative projects with friends. When he’s not speeding around campus like the shadow the hedgehog imitator he is, you can find him cooking up in the studio making some intellectually brutal mixtapes. Ask him about the Family Ties remix. And don't forget to ask him about his height - he claims to be 5'11"!. But above all else, Colin is a great guy who is always dependable and ready to crack a hilarious joke.
