Sarah is a junior in CAS who has changed her majors more times than she’d like to admit. In her free time, she can be seen avoiding coffee, trying (but usually failing) to contain her excitement when she sees a corgi on the street and wishing she could afford to go to the opera more often. She can quote full scenes from “Frasier” and “The Golden Girls,” but she still hasn’t figured out how to dress warmly enough in the winter (she’s from California). She is still trying to learn the ropes on Twitter, but you can keep up with her social media inadequacies @SarahM_Jackson.
