Go Tar Heels!

CHEERLEADER OF THE WEEK

Name: Lauren Joyner
Hometown: Elon, N.C.
School: UNC, Chapel Hill
Year: Junior
Major: Speech and hearing sciences


I love my school, but I almost went to:
Nowhere else! I've been a Tar Heel since birth!

My best physical feature is:
My legs.

If I had to watch one movie on loop forever, it would be:
Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

If you looked at the "most played" songs on my iPod, you'd see a lot of:
The Goo Goo Dolls and Third Eye Blind.

My gameday superstitions are:
I always make sure to wave at my family and take pictures with Mom before pre-game and I usually check my earrings about fifty-million times to make sure they're still in.

The talent I'd most like to have that I don't possess is:
Acing tests without studying, or being able to sing well — Then I'd want to be on Broadway.

These three things top my bucket list:
Becoming fluent in Spanish, traveling everywhere and flying down from the castle as Tinkerbell at Disney World.

I'd want my last meal to be:
Ssteak, salmon, mac and cheese, quesadilla with black beans, carrots with ranch and one of those cookie sandwiches with tons of icing stuffed in the middle. And a water. I eat a lot!

Three things I'd take to a desert island are:
Good food, Harry Potter 7 and my little brother, Drew!

My favorite sport and professional sports teams are:
Soccer is my favorite, but I definitely love Carolina basketball. Arsenal FC!

My worst habit is:
Picking wedgies in public.


Oh, honey, extremism in the defense of your ass is no vice, and moderation in the pursuit of wedgies is no virtue. Barry Goldwater said that—well, sort of—and if anyone knew about picking wedgies in public, it was Barry Goldwater. That's why his message still rings true to this day: wisdom grounded in practical experience. Trust me. I'd tell my own daughter the same thing—you know, if I had a daughter. (Can you imagine? Great Googlely Mooglely! Uh, remind me to schedule a vasectomy for later in the week.)
