Burning Questions: Meet junior Lauren Krupsky

Staff reporter D.J. Palomares sat down with junior outside hitter Lauren Krupsky of the volleyball team.

D.J. Palomares: What was the last movie you saw?
Lauren Krupsky: “I Love You, Man.” It was pretty hilarious. Stephanie Budde and I quote it a lot during practice now. That’s how you know its good, because we can quote it back and forth to each other.

DP: Do you have any phobias?
LK: I don’t really have any phobias. But I don’t like feet. They kind of gross me out. Especially people with a long second toe, it really bugs me.

DP: Do you have anything that you do for luck before matches?
LK: I wear the same hairstyle until we lose. Right now, we are with a poof in the front and a bun in the back. It is the one we won with last.

DP: If you weren’t playing volleyball, what other sports would you like good at to play?
LK: I was a thrower in high school and I won state in that. So I guess throw discus … I would do that, but I also like swimming.

DP: What is your favorite snack?
LK: That’s a tough one. I like a lot of foods, but I guess I would go with pretzels. I like those a lot.

DP: What do you like to do when you go home?
LK: I like spending time with my family but, more than anything, I like sleeping in my big queen-sized bed. It’s super comfortable.

DP: What do you do on long road trips to pass the time?
LK: I sit in the back with Stephanie Budde and we sing songs or watch movies. I can’t really do homework on the bus because I get motion sickness.

DP: What type of songs do you two sing?
LK: It depends. Sometimes, we sing Disney songs and, sometimes, we make up raps.
