Get to Know Savanna Force
This week's Get to Know feature is on Savanna Force. Savanna arrived at OSU as a freshman in the fall of 2017. She performed in the Beavers' floor exercise lineup eight times and set a personal-mark of 9.90 in a 2018 dual against Stanford. This season, Savanna has added the vault to her repertoire and has upped her career-high on floor to 9.925. Majoring in kinesiology, Savanna earned Scholastic All-American recognition as a freshman.
What OSU team do you get most excited to watch?
I get most excited to watch football because I grew up around it. My dad coaches and my brother played so it is something I have always loved to watch and support.
Where would you most like to live someday?
I would love to live in Southern California because I love the sun and the city life.
How many U.S. states have you visited?
I've visited 10 states.
What is your secret power/talent?
I can learn lyrics to any song really fast … usually rap music.
What fad or trend do you hope comes back?
I don't like fads and trends so I wouldn't have a specific thing I want to come back. I really like to be original and stay true to myself instead of following something that a lot of other people are into.
What fictional place would you most like to go?
Terebithia. After seeing the movie I was obsessed and wanted to be able to go to such a magical place.
What's your favorite holiday?
Christmas because I love to spoil my friends and family. I love the lights and the nostalgia that comes along with it.
If you could turn any activity into an Olympic sport, what would you have a good chance at winning a medal for?
I would turn room decorating/organization into an Olympic sport and probably win a medal. I love to organize absolutely everything and I enjoy redecorating my room whenever I have a chance. Having a cohesively decorated environment where everything has a place makes me feel really good.
Are you usually early or late?
I have always been someone who is early to everything but after a year in college I find myself running a bit late a lot of the time because there is always so much to be done and not enough time.
Horror or romance?
Romance because horror movies give me nightmares.
Read or watch the movie?
Watch the movie. I do too much reading for school so I love to kick back and watch whenever I can.
Hang gliding or whitewater rafting?
Hang gliding because it is close to flying.
Sushi or tacos?
Sushi. All day. Every day.
What is the most annoying question that people ask you?
The most annoying question people ask me is where I got a piece of clothing or shoes. I just really don't like to match with people so when someone asks I get annoyed that they are going to buy the same thing and then something that used to be unique/original will become a bandwagon or trend.
What is something that a lot of people are obsessed with but you just don't get the point?
Social media. I feel like it is so much more important to live your real life than obsessing over how many likes or comments you get in a virtual world. I don't like to focus on comparing myself to others on social media because it's just not real.
