My name is Peyton Thompson and I am a Junior Public Relations major at the University of Oklahoma. I am a member of the Chi Omega sorority on campus. I usually spend my free time working out, watching Netflix, listening to music or hanging out with friends. There’s a lot I believe in. The most important I think is believing in yourself. That sounds very cliche and basic but I think it’s true. If you don’t believe in yourself than you won’t be able to accept support from others. It’s hard to understand why someone would believe in you, if you first don’t believe in yourself. If I’m not in class or in my room then i’m probably at the gym. I try and go everyday. Not only is it good for your body, but working out helps me relieve stress and clear my head. I think if i could share one piece of advice for the rest of my life it would be “go to the gym, just go.” I’m guided by happiness. I only do things or spend time with people who make me happy. I don’t believe in letting negative energy in my life so i tend to stay away from things or people that I don’t want to associate with. I’m motivated by success. I think about it daily, “what can I do to be more successful after I graduate?” That thought is constantly running through my head. I want to succeed and I want to be the best version of myself. Design is very important because it helps you express yourself in ways you might not be able to with words. Design fits in my life anytime I want to express myself whether it’s what i’m wearing, creating or imagining. Being an individual is something I strive to do and design is a big part in helping me do that.
