Countdown to Reunion: Catching Up With Paige Ryland

 Paige Ryland, Florida

• What are you most proud about accomplishing since graduation?

That I've been passionate about all my post-grad adventures and have moved along at my own pace.

• What's your favorite MHC memory?

Two things: Meeting the FFL at MHC. Giving popsicles out in the library during finals to people who would dance for them.

• What do you miss most about MHC/the Valley?

I miss seeing so many wonderful faces everyday.

• What are you looking forward to at reunion?

Hugs and a personal, taste of the valley tour. I'm also pretty excited about taking a class or two.

• What’s the coolest thing you’ve done since graduation? 

My time in the Peace Corps will probably be the coolest thing I ever do. (The picture is of my first maize crop, the staple food in Malawi) 

• What's the best book you've read? 

Every book I read ends up being my favorite but I particularly enjoyed Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides.

• How many cities have you lived in? 

I have lived in 5 cities. (7 by the end of August)

• What dorm do you wish you could visit for brunch on Sunday?

While Prospect omelette bar has long been a favorite, I think Ill be indulging elsewhere as part of my personal, taste of the valley tour. Seriously, while planning our reunion trips, the FFL were most concerned with the food we would eat.
