I knew I wanted to make my interview about something that was meaningful to me and something that would even be useful for me in the future. I figured that college is such an important milestone in life that is coming up quickly for me, so why not talk to someone about it? Hearing what my mom had to say seemed the most important to me. Not only is it convenient that I could talk to her easily at home, I would also be able to hear it from another woman who didn’t go there that long ago. I was thinking about interviewing my cousin since he is there now, but he also hasn’t experienced his full 4 years there yet, and I am sure a guy’s experience would be much different than a girl’s, especially with rushing. 

I mainly wanted to hear about my mom’s most memorable moments at IU and also see if she had any advice for me since I will be starting all over again as a freshman. In the interview, I was able to talk with her about several things including rushing, choosing and changing majors, getting settled and getting used to being away from home, her favorite activities and places on campus, etc. Hearing about her great experience there makes me excited to begin my next chapter of life at IU and I can’t wait to be a Hoosier!
