In honor of the Miss OCU pageant, I found a list of questions that pageant contestants have been asked in competition. Here are answers from Eliza Hare, acting junior.
Q: Who is the most influential person in your life?
A: I have way too many, but one of the most influential would be one of my tutors in high school. Her name was Sharon. She was my Lit teacher, but she also ran my bible study. She kept all of us grounded through senior year, which is difficult, considering we were all working on running away from home and getting away from our community. She kept pushing us to hold on to each other and our faith. It was what we needed.
Q: What is your greatest contribution to society?
A: My greatest contribution to society… Do you count the amount of Dr. Pepper I drink? I drink it so other people don’t have to be so unhealthy. I have paid that price. You’re welcome, society. Should I run for miss OCU? Yes, yes, I should.
Q: How would you describe your own personality?
A: Well. I would say a cross between Deadpool and Ewen from Lord of the Rings.
Q: To whose famous personality do you find yourself parallels with?
A: Sam from iCarly
Q: If you won the Miss America crown, what is the first thing you’d do?
A: Sleep
Q: What is the essence of a woman?
A: That’s not a real question. People don’t ask people that. The essence of a woman, Sage, is … I have no clue.
Q: What constitutes true beauty?
A: I would say the ability to see and appreciate the truth because the truth isn’t always beautiful. It’s almost always beaten up. But the truth is always more beautiful than a lie, no matter how ugly it is.
Q: What bothers you most about society today?
A: Shall I choose one? Can I just say Trump?
Q: What is your favorite body part?
A: That sounds so weird! Would they ask men that? I’ll say my calf muscles, because even though I have stopped Irish dancing competitively, that residual muscle is still there, and it looks fab. You’re welcome, world.
Q: If you could invent one thing, what would it be?
A: Wow, this is actually a fun question, and I don’t know the answer. Let’s go with teleportation in the place of stairs. Road trips are fun, so stairs are the only time we could use it.
Q: Who do you think is the sexiest man alive today?
A: What? Why would they ask this? I’m gonna go with the guy that plays Kili in The Hobbit. Does he have to be real? Aragorn from Lord of the Rings. Hands down.
Q: If you were isolated on an island with 3 items, which items would you choose?
A: I would go with a boat, obviously. An ENO hammock, and a bible.
