Hi everyone,
So I’m Nicole Amoruso.
I’m a senior English major and I will be graduating in December. I’m also minoring in Spanish. I grew up in a small town called Blanchard
that is actually pretty close to OU. I
transferred to OU my sophomore year, which ended up working out really well for
me. I’ve worked at OU Outreach for the
past year and a half and love it. I’m
incredibly excited for this semester. I’ll
be graduating and then I’m taking a trip to Europe with my best friend over New
Years. After graduation, I’m planning on
attending grad school here at OU for MIT.
I love reading and writing; I’ve had a couple of pieces
published by my previous university. I
wish I could say what my favorite novel is, but I’m super indecisive. I also go to local concerts and shows with my
friends whenever I can. My family is
also really important to me. I’m very
close to my nieces and my nephew. My
oldest niece, Katelynn, is graduating high school this year, and I’m incredibly
proud of her.

My parents are beyond
amazing. They’ve given me all the tools
I need to get through life and are there for me whenever I need them. I also have a lot of friends who have become
family. A large part of my family lives
in Venezuela and Italy, but we take every opportunity to see each other. I’ve taken several trips there and they’ve
taken several trips here. Even when we can’t
visit, we talk to each other all the time.
I love animals and am super excited to get my own as soon as I can. My parents have a dog and two cats. We got the dog about a year and a half ago, and he has been craziest, best pet we’ve ever had. His name is Stig and he is named after the guy on Top Gear. He acts like he is a person instead of a dog most of the time.

*Introduction Update: It seems like one of the most common things throughout the
comments on my introduction is well-wishes and congratulations, so I just
thought I’d take a second to say thanks to everyone! It was really neat to read everyone’s
comments and see how they related to my introduction.
