Name: Jessica Parsley
Major: Accounting
Academic Year: Junior (3rd year)
Hometown: Adrian, Minnesota
Why chose major: I was originally a math for information systems major but decided that was not the right fit for me. I did not enjoy my classes, but I liked numbers and when things balanced. My sister is an accounting major and told me about it. Accounting sounded fun and I love it!
Why chose DSU: Originally, I only came to tour Dakota State because the volleyball coach wanted me to try-out with the team. My tour was fun, the campus was small and homey, professors were friendly, and little did I know that I would fall in love with DSU. I applied the next day and here I am!
What I love to do for fun at DSU: I love going to the volleyball and basketball games, showing pride in DSU and cheering on the athletes.
Favorite DSU memory: getting snowed in before Spring Break my freshmen year, so we piled into a friends pick-up truck and went sledding down the DPP hill. Following that was the not-so-fun part of shoveling all our cars out.
Favorite superhero: Spiderman because he can climb buildings?
Dream job: My dream job is to be an accountant for a Fortune 500 company, living in luxury and enjoying my job.
Favorite sports team: I like the Minnesota Vikings and Twins and Timberwolves. I am true to my home-state. Represent!
How I would spend $10,000: I would buy a new car because I have been having problems with vehicles since I learned to drive. The rest would be spent on paying off student loans, and any extra on a new wardrobe.
