IST student, lazy humanoid, and card holding member of the anti-pants society. I was born and raised in the Kansas City area solidifying my love of barbarque, Bolevard, and mostly awful sports teams. I'm the vice president of my sorority, Phi Sigma Rho. I love traveling, wasting my life on the internet, and presidental fun facts. Take a look below to find out my favorites of those catagories.

I've done really well this semester not spending as much time on these social media platforms, but that doesn't mean I still can't enjoy them.

I started my love of presidental history in 3rd grade when I did a report on James Monroe. This love of presidental facts only increased when my family went to Washington DC the summer of 2004 and we visited several cemetaries where former presidents are burried. These are some of my favorite:

  • William Howard Taft got stuck in the presidental bathtub. He weighed 330 pounds. After the incident, a larger bathtub was installed.
  • George H.W. Bush hates broccoli so much, that he banished it from the White House while he was president.
  • Andrew Jackson was one of the most "let loose" presidents we have ever had. He was in a duel with a man named Charles Dickens and let him shoot first; Dickens shot him in the chest, but the bullet didn't reach his heart, so in return Jackson didn't flinch and killed him. After an assasination attempt, Jackson nearly killed the man beating him with his cane. Jackson's inaguration party included a 1400 pound cheese wheel and wine filled bathtubs on the lawn. And finally, Jackson had a pet parrot that had to be removed from his funeral because it wouldn't stop swearing
  • George W. Bush was a college cheerleader at Yale.
  • Gerald Ford was both a college football player and a model.
  • James Buchanan thought he was going to be the last president due to the start of the Civil War.
  • Warren Harding held a birthday party for his dogs.
  • William McKinnley attempted to save the life of the man who assasinated him, after he was shot.
  • Theodore Roosevelt hated the nickname "Teddy". He also was shot at before starting a speech, pulled his notes out of his front pocket, gave a 90 minute speech, and was rushed to the hospital immediatly after.
