The Guardian: What is your year and major?
Vance: I am a freshman and my major is accounting.
The Guardian: Why accounting?
Vance: I like math a lot.
The Guardian: Are you already in the program?
Vance: No not until after this quarter.
The Guardian: Do you know what you want to do after you graduate?
Vance: I want to move to Colorado and get a job out there because I have family out there, it’s really pretty and it’s a very athletic state.
The Guardian: Do you want to go to graduate school?
Vance: Yeah, I want to get my masters, but I don’t know where yet.
The Guardian: So how has your first year at Wright State been?
Vance: It’s been really good. I’ve gotten along with a lot of people on campus, but it’s a lot more work than high school. I’ve been keeping my grades up though, so that’s good.
The Guardian: Are you involved with anything on campus?
Vance: No, I don’t really find an interest in it, but I do like to get study groups together.
The Guardian: What about switching to semesters, since you’re a freshman are you excited or unhappy about it? How do you feel?
Vance: I’m just kind of in the middle. I mean I’m just adjusting to college so I don’t feel much different and everything transfers, so it’s not a problem for me.
The Guardian: What is the biggest challenge you’ve had since school started?
Vance: I think my biggest challenge is taking enough time to study so I do well on my tests, because sometimes life feels more important than studies. Sometimes it’s like do I want to read my psychology book or do I want to go play outside?
The Guardian: Is there any favorite memory you have from this year so far?
Vance: Probably the weirdest thing this year is each quarter I’ve become really good friends with a person in my class. Well this quarter I found out they all went to high school together and all hung out in the same group of friends. It’s really weird. So now we all hang out together. I guess I should have went to Huber Heights.
The Guardian: So what are your plans for the summer?
Vance: My plans this summer, I’m going to go to a couple concerts and probably just try to see a lot of friends from high school, and probably take a road trip somewhere and work a lot to save up money.
The Guardian: Besides school what do you do?
Vance: I play piano. What I like to do a lot is, I get together with my friends and cook meals together and play Apples to Apples, like every weekend. It’s fun.
The Guardian: What about music? You can either name your top three to five of your favorite bands or you can give what genre you like.
Vance: I couldn’t think of a genre to put stuff in, I’ll just name some. I like Taking Back Sunday and Bayside. Edward Sharp and the Magnetic Zeros, they’re really good. The Pixies and the last one I want to name is The Hush Sound.
The Guardian: Is there any guilty pleasure you have?
Vance: I still listen to NSYNC all the time. Dirty Pop’s still my favorite song.
The Guardian: What about movies?
Vance: Donnie Darko, A Clockwork Orange, The Invisible and Juno. Well swap The Invisible to Zoolander.
The Guardian: Alright would you rather read a book or watch a movie about a book?
Vance: I would much rather read a book because it’s my own visual and my brain creating what the authors giving to me instead of someone else creating it for me. And there’s a lot more detail.
