Getting to Know…Nicole Fallert



HOLD ON! I know the month of introductions is ending, but I'm still here! 
Ok..
My name is: Nicole Fallert
Grade: Senior
You Can Find Me in the High School: on the Morning Announcements, speed-walking, or writing and working with my incredible Tapestry staffers. 


1. What position are you in the Tappy QRT?
I am Tapestry's Open Mic Coordinator, as well as a Manuscript Tutor! Come to me with Tapestry event ideas or for writing help!


2. Something adventurous you did over the summer?
I danced to jazz with my sisters at 11:00pm in the streets of New Orleans. Yes it's really true-they play music in the streets all day. 

3. Best fall meal?
Funny this is a question. I was distracting myself in school today thinking of this very topic. If I had to choose-it would be anything with spices. The flavor of pumpkin is always a favorite of mine, and I think one of the reasons we all love fall so much is that we can actually recall it by its taste. Autumn is all about the flavors, both of its colors and its food. Make sure to take some time and cook something spicy, tangy, or just altogether new! Here's a great recipe I know I'll surely try. Be Adventurous!

4. What is your favorite fall activity?
Activity. That is the definition of my fall. Between sports practices, choir rehearsals, and homework, I hardly catch a moment to use for fun. Note to Readers: This is not the way to enjoy your fall. I have never got apple picking, and so I am going to make that a goal fall activity. 

5. Favorite writing utensil?
An ink pen. It practically writes for itself. And music. 

6. A book that you read over the summer; do you recommend it?
Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. If you have not already borrowed my copy (I have lent it to many people-it's currently out right now..sorry!) you are welcome to ask for it anytime. I bought this book at the Harvard Book Store when visiting Harvard University this past summer and read it on one of the university's lawns on what you can imagine to be the perfect July afternoon. I think all high schoolers should read this book, whose humble storytelling places characters into a conversation about race, family, relationships, education, and our very global world. Once you finish, listen to this

7. The song that's in your head right now?
Also another impossible question. I usually have multiple songs in my head. If my current career path fails, I plan on becoming a celebrity DJ. 
Pop Song: "Shake it Off" by Taylor Swift. Indie Song: "Ms" by alt-J Rap Song: "i" by Kendrick Lamar Classic Song: "Check On It" by Beyonce. 

8. Favorite movie/genre?
I can recite all of Finding Nemo if that's a thing. 

9. Favorite type of cookie?
A melting, gooey, drop down and kiss the Earth "thank you God" kind of cookie 

10. Favorite season and why? 
Spring. Even as an underclassman, I loved that sort of excited aura all the older kids started to have as they neared graduation or the end of the year. I am excited by Spring's change-nothing is ever the same after the spring. The winter turns, and you cannot go back. The school year ends, and you cannot go back and change your answers, say that one apology, or realize what you should have done. It's a time of thanksgiving for the hurried year you've just completed, but also a time to carpe diem and lay in the sun, thanking the Earth for loving you with its flowers.
