Hi my name is Kristen McKenzie, I am a Freshman and I am majoring in Communication and I plan to double major next semester in business. I am from Long Island, New York in a town called Dix Hills about an hour away from New York City. It took me forever to finally decide to come to Penn State, I got a scholarship to play basketball at Ithaca College but with several discussions with my parents we all agreed that Penn State was the school for me! Its been a week and I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else but here.

I honestly do not like science, I personally feel like my teachers never made it interesting it was always notes and test, never any discussions. So my advisor told me that this class was required as a Natural Science(GN) for my major and it had the least amount of hands on science, that was perfect for me so I enrolled in this class. I am not planning on majoring in science because I find it boring and mathematical at times and I am not good at math at all. But from the first day, this science class seemed nothing like my other classes so I am very interested in learning what Andrew has to say!

Moving away from science, I am a huge sports fan. I am a strong supporter of Lebron James, a lot of people call me a band wagoner but I was there when he was on the Cavs the first year. Sadly I am a Giants fan, and for all those who actually watch football you would understand why I said “sadly”.

Below is a picture of my basketball team when I was a Junior in high school. This was right before we played our last home game where we were crowned league champs! One of the greatest days.

Just a little more about me, I listen to music..a lot, when I’m not studying of course. I listen to alot of Hip-Hop R&B and Pop, as of right now my favorite song is 679 by Fetty Way because my best friends and I made a dance before we all parted ways for college!
