Hi! My name is Cathy Mott and I am from Warren, New Jersey. I am a freshman here at Penn state and I am currently in the Division of Undergraduate Studies but I am planning to major in Security Risk Analysis.

I have never enjoyed science. It was my worst subject in high school and I didn’t plan to take it in college. However, I saw this course and within the description, it said “science for non scientists” which made me feel like it would be a good course for me to take because it would be different. It was also going to be my Natural Science (GN) for the semester. I am not majoring in science because I am more interested in protecting information systems, and assets of companies and government organizations. I envy those who do major in science because although it is interesting, it has never seemed to be a well-rounded fit for me.

Aside from science, I am a huge fan of basketball and hockey. I enjoy having season tickets to watch the New Jersey Devils play 20 minutes from home so not having that this year will definitely be a change. Although they have not been excelling the past two seasons, there is still room for change and improvement, which I will miss greatly on the ice this year. The men’s ice hockey team at Penn State will have to make up for that. The Prudential Center Arena will be missed through this long cold winter, as it is one of the best places to be, when you can actually get there.

More basic information about me, I love to binge watch TV Shows on Netflix…a lot…. always… even though you will most likely find me watching One Tree Hill, Scandal, Gossip Girl, or Grey’s Anatomy. I love to run and listen to music. My favorite song as of now is definitely My Way by Fetty Wap because it is fun to dance to with my new roommate while we are doing homework.
