Introduction to Myself

My name is Hannah Spates and I am an Accounting major at the University of Oklahoma. I am from the Dallas/Ft. Worth area of Texas. I serve as an officer for my sorority, Sigma Phi Lambda, and I love to hammock, bake, read, watch TV, sit outside with friends, and many more things. I am also very involved with Summit Church in Newcastle, OK.

Some of the classes that I am taking this fall include: Accounting Info Systems, Business Finance, and Intermediate Accounting (I know, it's all very thrilling. What can I say?) I am a Junior right now, but I am hoping to graduate early, maybe even this next May! Even though I am an accounting major, I do not actually want to be an accountant (believe it or not)! My dream is to graduate from OU and then return to Dallas (where I am from) and attend a university there where I can get my Master's degree in Human Resources. From there, I want to work for a company in their Human Resources department interacting with all of the employees for years to come! We will see where this crazy life takes me next!

Some fun facts about me:

Favorite Movie: The Prestige, The Dark Knight, or Interstellar (I obviously like Christopher Nolan)

Favorite Book: The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexander Dumas

Favorite Music Genre: Indie Rock or Indie Pop (I don't really have a favorite artist)

Favorite Ice Cream: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough or Cookies 'N Cream (has to be Blue Bell, no contest)

Favorite Food: (besides ice cream) My mom's homemade chicken pot pie

This summer, I basically vacationed the whole three months that I was away from OU. I started out by studying abroad in Vichy, France, and while I was in Europe, I visited places like Barcelona, Spain, Gimmelwald, Switzerland, Florence, Italy, and Rome. It truly was an incredible experience and I would very much like to do it again! When I got home from Europe, I  went to Orlando, Florida, in order to visit the oh-so-famous Walt Disney World. Then, we went to Destin, Florida, to spend some time on the beach. I spent the rest of my summer hanging out with my family, watching TV, and playing Xbox. I was completely unproductive, but it was relaxing and fun all the same.
