My lifelong goal for my Tufts sports journalism career has finally come true -- I have a groupie. Freshman Mary Cella hasn't given me that "groupie love" because I don't cheat on my girlfriend, but Mary still appreciates my work.

While Cella isn't an athlete at Tufts, she does have an athletic background in alpine skiing and basketball, but pretty much she gets to do 7 Questions because she has boosted my ego to unbelievable heights.

Yesterday, I caught up to Cella completing an unbelievably tough cardio workout regimen, so naturally 7 Question followed.



1. What possessed you to go online this year and read all of the archived 7 Questions that ran in the Daily even before you became a student at Tufts?

The first time I read 7 Questions was when I earned my nickname (ear piercing laugh in Carmichael), so I obviously found it hilarious. I just couldn't get enough and I still can't.



2. Through my sources, I hear you have an unbelievably tough workout plan, care to share?

I do a lot of cardio in the gym -- but the real sport of it is scoping for meaty treats. Yes, boys I'm that creepy girl on the elliptical who stares at you everyday.



>3. How did you get into alpine skiing?

I started skiing when I was three and joined a race team at nine. On the western rim, we don't have anything but hills, fields, cows, and snow, so racing is pretty big, especially at my high school. We won five state championships in my six years there, proving our superiority to the east coast.



4. Besides skiing, what sport do you respect the most and why?

I'm a retired ball player, so I love baseball. Boys in tight pants are always fun to watch.



5. What are your spring break plans and what is the wildest thing you will do at that location?

I'm going home to sit on my couch and watch the cows eat my bush. No seriously, my next door neighbors have cows and they eat my shrubbery. If I get really wild and crazy, I might go to the Williams gym or even Stop and Shop.



6. Every weekend I see you at some frat, what is your favorite fraternity to frequent, and why?

What girl can resist being seduced by meaty landmasses in the dimly lit DU basement?



>7. Does it offend you that I consider you my 7 Questions groupie? Why or why not?

I can't be offended because it's true.
