“The greatness, the students, brought me to LSU. The kids are
cool, and it’s number one in friendliness. There’s no hate, just
much love! I’ve been here for two years, but I’m from New
Orleans. We’re a party city. Here, it’s nice and calm. I wanted some
of the calmness, but my favorite part of living in New Orleans
was Mardi Gras. I went to Zulu last year and liked catching the
coconuts. I caught five! It was a record because I usually only
catch one or none at all. I like to go with my kids. I have six of
them and they’re grown. Last year was their first time, and they
enjoyed Zulu. They loved it. I have family from Texas, and they
come to the parades all of the time too!”
