Alex Fettner
Major: Sport Management

My blog is called distracted with a toothbrush for a key reason. While I have been at UD, I have always gotten distracted whenever I go to brush my teeth. I hope to show people from my hometown and from northern California that UD is a ton of fun. I am excited to blog about my first year at UD, and look forward to sharing my life with all of my friends and family, so they do not have to call 24/7.

Hi, my name is Abby Barber and I’m a sophomore in the Honors Program at the University of Delaware. My major is Energy and Environmental Policy, but I’m not one of those super tree-huggers. I’m pretty relaxed and go-with-the flow. I love college because there are so many opportunities to make new friends! I’m involved in different clubs such as Circle K, Students for the Environment, and Habitat for Humanity. Also, this winter I traveled to Morocco and Egypt for study abroad- it was amazing! I recommend studying overseas to all students! Some other things I like to do include eating, listening to music, hip-hopish style dancing, hanging out with friends, and just whatever activity pops into my head. UD is awesome and I love every minute!

Marissa Berlant
Major: Marine Biology
Minor: Spanish
Year: Sophomore
Hometown: Scotch Plains, NJ

My real name is Marissa, but everyone has called me Rissy since the day I was born… it stuck and I’m pretty sure I’ll still be called Rissy when I’m 99. My initials are MLB… Major League Baseball (Did I really have to explain that?)… and I have the same birthday as Derek Jeter. My favorite food is soup (don’t judge) and my favorite color is blue- especially turquoise or anything where a bunch of shades of blue are mixed together. There are only 2 fruits I can think of that I don’t like: papaya and coconut. Otherwise, I LOVE all fruit and eat more fruit every day than you probably think is possible to eat in a day. I love music by Dave Matthews Band, Jack Johnson, Donavon Frankenreiter, Jason Mraz… look them up!
