I'm going to Columbia University but I'm trying to keep that low-profile because I don't want weird people following me there. I want the experience of normal college life.

I'm from the Mississippi delta originally.

I even lived on campus to get the college experience. I had five roommates and I still keep in touch with them while I'm on the road.

I went to college in Mississippi; I'm from Louisiana.

I got quite the college experience.

I went to Louisiana Tech, which is just down the road from where we lived. It was an easy college to get into.

Social life was different for me in college. I didn't go to as many parties as my friends did. I didn't join a sorority because I knew I couldn't make a long-term commitment. I was constantly traveling back and forth from Silicon Valley to Austin for internships. It was hard, but it was worth it for where I wanted to go.

I'm really interested in how people feel out new friendships, and at the start of college, that's really important.

I'm from Washington state - a pretty small town there called Puyallup. I was really into the arts there. I sang in choirs and did singing competitions. I also did a whole lot of theater; I did high school, and then I started doing some community theater. I decided that was the kind of thing I wanted to study in college.

I consider The O.C. as my college. It was four years and I made friends who I'll have forever.
