Meet freshman Rebekah Rupinski from Lemoyne, PA.
Why did you
come to Lock Haven University?
I decided on
Lock Haven because I knew I wanted to go farther from home. However I wanted to know I could be
in driving distance if I ever needed to run home for something. Distance was
not the only factor, I knew I wanted to play collegiate volleyball and I loved
the coaching staff and the environment of The Haven on and off the court from
my first visit.
What
celebrity would you like to hang out with or a day? Why?
I would want to
hang out with Beyonce, and then maybe some of her flawlessness would rub off on
me.
What is your
least favorite food?
Raw sushi, I
have attempted to eat it because you “can’t knock it till you try it” but I
know that will definitely never be a thing for me.
If you could
live anywhere in the world where would it be? Why?
If I got to pick up and move anywhere
I’d want to be by one of Australia’s beaches, who wouldn't love a
beach with water that’s actually blue?
What is your
most embarrassing moment?
Embarrassing moments come on a daily
basis to me, so I’m not sure what the worst is but the most common would have
to be when I’m at work, as a waitress, and say stupid things to my
customers from being in a hurry. It’s always so awkward having to go back to
those tables then.
My biggest peeve has to be when girls
act dumber as a way to get attention from a guy, I just don’t get why
someone wouldn't want to be seen as smart.
Who is your
role model?
My Nana would
have to be my biggest role model. Knowing all the hoops she had to jump through
throughout her life, she still raised four successful girls, was married
fifty-two years, and always there when you need anything. She’s someone I’d
aspire to be, someone that’s happy.
What is your
favorite pro sports team?
Definitely more
of a hockey fan when it comes to pro teams so I’m going to have to say the
Philadelphia Flyers.
What do you
like most about game day?
The part about
game day I actually look forward to is game day jitters; you’re just so amped
up, kind of nervous, want the win, and are ready to kill it with your team.
What are
your pregame rituals?
Commonly I’ll
be listening to music before it, and on the day I make sure enough water is in
my system and eat healthy and light.
How do you
want people at LHU to remember you?
I hope people
remember me as someone in a positive light, someone that was there for help or
to call up and do fun things with.
What is one
thing people do not know about you?
Something most
do not know is I love the beach so much that my bedroom is decorated and
painted to look like one, so I’m always on vacation.
What is
your least favorite conditioning drill, weight room exercise, or volleyball
drill?
Sprints are my
nightmare, something I have yet to enjoy.
What is
your favorite food?
My favorite
food would easily be the ribs my dad makes in his special way, a meal I always
look forward too.
Who can you
do a good impression of?
I can do a good impression of my
parents; I mean I've had eighteen years to learn their tendencies and sayings.
What is one
thing you want to happen before you leave LHU?
I want to have
a feeling of confidence that whatever I decide to do for the rest of my life is
really what I should be doing, no doubts.
What is
your dream job?
I would love to
work in Disney world, as maybe a vet or engineer; you’d always be a kid even
when you grow up!
My friends
would describe me as…
They would
describe me as funny and outgoing, I love meeting new people and I’m someone
who likes to make you laugh.
I cannot
live without…
I cannot live
without a fan; I have to sleep with my fan on every night!
On road
trips I always bring…
Things I always
seem to grab for a road trip are a bottle of water, a snack, my phone,
headphones, and a pillow.
