University Choice and Major

In an interview with Melissa Pfeister (recorded on the Daily Dish), Milania explained her choice of schools: "I do not like taking tests. I hate taking tests. And I knew I had good grades, so I was like, 'I'm just going to put in schools that go test-optional.' I knew I wanted warm weather because I'm so over the cold. I just want to be close to a beach."
