Jill Ferguson, mass communication freshman from Saint Francisville, is a small town girl taking big steps for her life.

Living 99 miles away from home, Ferguson has become her own independent person. She is a student by day and your food-craving Papa John’s pizza deliverer by night.

“Everybody says that it sucks being a pizza deliverer, but I really enjoy doing it.” Ferguson said.

While working hard at school and her job, Ferguson also enjoys hanging out with friends, watching Glee and the Food Network and singing to her favorite songs on her iPod. She is a self-proclaimed “Twi-Hard” (Twilight fan) that enjoys the books more than the movies.

Ferguson’s most thrilling thing to do is go to concerts to listen to her favorite bands.  The farthest she has ever traveled was to Birmingham, Alabama to see Trevor Hall.

Q: If you were trapped on an island, what three things would you bring?

A: I would bring my cell phone and pray that AT&T has service out there. I would bring my parents together as one unit. Lastly, I would bring a radio because life without music sucks.

Q: What is your most played song on your Ipod?

A: It is Drumming Song by Florence and the Machine.

Q: If you could change one thing about the world,what would it be?

A: I hate not being financially stable.  I just wish the world would be financially settled. Everyone can benefit from a stable financial world. We need a good position to take care of everyone and ourselves.

Q: If you could go to any place in the world, where would it be?

A: Australia. It has been my dream since I was three years old.

Q: Who is your favorite professor?

A: My favorite professor is my mass communication professor from last semester, Mr. Lance Arnold. I learned a lot in his class. He was a great teacher and let us express ourselves.

Q: Where do you see yourself in five years?

A: I hope that I will be out of school or in a graduate program. If I’m not in school, I want to have an internship at a newspaper. Definitely something career based.

Q: What is the longest you have gone without being on Facebook?

A: Facebook is my life, but I decided last October to give it up so I can spend more time on my schoolwork. It was torture, but I got through it.

Q: Who is the person that you’re closest to and why?

A: My best friend, Caroline. We are pretty much the same person. We feel the same ways about certain things, and we always have fun.

Q: What movie do you think should be played in theaters again?

A: Avatar. I really would love to see it in 3D.

Q: If you could be any cartoon character, what would you be?

A: I always wanted to be Princess Jasmine.  She is so pretty. She is exotic, different and rebellious.

Q: If you won a million dollars, what would you do with it?

A: I would pay for college first. My dad’s house burned down, so I would give him the majority of the money to rebuild. I also would save money on the side because I am a car junkie. I really want an Audi A4.

Q: What is your favorite nickname?

A: Jillafer. My friend, Elana, made that name up in my freshman year of high school.
