Freshman Spotlight: Kaddy Ren (9-3)

I first started knitting over winter break. I got inspired when I saw these really pretty mittens on Pinterest. I knew my mom knitted but she was busy with her own stuff so she taught me how to knit on my own. The first thing I made were these very uneven gloves but I still love them. Then on Tiktok crocheting got pretty popular and I thought maybe I should try it. Plus it doesn’t take that much supplies.

Do you have any other hobbies?

I do running. I ran for the Broad Street Run with Students Run. I think a lot of people doubted me but running with such a big huddle makes you run so much faster. So I did so much better than I expected and I finished the whole run.

Fashion advice?

I mean I'm on Pinterest a lot but I don't necessarily buy a lot of clothes. Maximizing all the items in the closet helps so when you make a big purchase you know you'll wear it. Also re-wearing pieces of outfits is cute. It shows people your signature style, kinda how cartoon characters have a signature style that fits them so well.

Favorite movie?

I like Legally Blonde, the Social Network, and Little Women (2019). Definitely my top three.

Cats or Dogs?

Cats. I haven't owned any pets other than turtles. And they all died under my care so...
