Anna Bobrow ‘20
What are you most excited for during your 2L spring in Charlottesville?
I feel like I’m a latecomer to getting out and exploring the great things that the town has to offer, so I’m excited to go to more vineyards, cideries, UVA baseball games, and hikes.
What is your favorite word?
Joy.
What would you pick to be your last meal and why?
My mom’s macaroni and cheese, with a side of her meatloaf and this delicious chocolate pie she makes in the summer for dessert. If it has to be my last meal, I want the food to be made with love and evoke good memories.
If you could meet one celebrity, who would it be and why?
Roger Federer. Not only is he an amazing tennis player, but his charitable work is admirable.
Funniest person in the law school?
Griffin Peeples ’20. He’s also the best dancer in the Law School.
What’s your favorite hobby to avoid the stress of law school?
Exercise. Find me at the North Grounds Rec Center, running outside, or on a hike.
What’s something you wish you’d known about law school before coming to UVA Law?
The qualities and people that made you successful before law school are the same things that will make you successful during law school.
What is the most interesting thing/most fun fact about you?
I’ve seen Shaggy in concert…in Zanzibar.
(I volunteered with a nonprofit in Zanzibar one summer in college, and he was the headliner at the Zanzibar International Film Festival’s concert. It was a crazy concert: We paid $5 for VIP tickets and the venue was an old Omani fort built in 1699. There were twelve warm-up acts by local performers, Shaggy came on at 1a.m., and then played his two songs you would know (“It Wasn’t Me” and “(You’re My) Angel”) in the first five minutes, so we left right after.)
If you could live anywhere, where would it be? Why?
London. My family lived there when I was in elementary school and I would love to live there again. Easy access to Europe (let’s not talk about Brexit) and a city with tons of history, great restaurants, and theater.
What’s your least favorite sound?
When “One Shining Moment” plays for Duke. #GoHeels #GTHD
What’s the best gift you’ve ever received?
For my eighteenth birthday, my grandmother gave me a necklace that my grandfather (who died when I was a year old) gave to her when they were in the early days of their marriage. It’s a unique piece of jewelry, and I love to wear it.
What’s your favorite thing to do in Charlottesville?
Recently, it’s been going swing dancing on Wednesday nights at Swing Cville on the Downtown Mall.
If you could make one law that everyone had to follow, what would it be?
Mandatory recycling and composting in every household.
Which animal are you most like?
A meerkat (like Timon from Lion King).
If you won the lottery, what would you do with it?
Claim the ticket anonymously and donate it. Depending on the amount, I would consider the benefits and negatives of working through established community nonprofits with low administrative overhead as compared to setting up a new foundation. If I got lucky enough to win the lottery, I would want to make sure the money is spent in the most efficacious and responsive way possible.
If you could have any special skill, what would it be?
I’ve always wanted to be able to play the guitar. It would come in handy at sing-a-longs and campfires, and then I could also be in a band.
Where is a place you haven’t been but want to travel to?
I’m a big tennis fan and have been to Wimbledon, the French Open, and the U.S. Open, so the plan would be to go in January so I can go to the Australian Open, and then jump over to New Zealand to hike and hang out with sheep.
What would be the title of your biography?
One of my good friends suggested: “Well-Traveled Lass Takes the Road Less Traveled.” If I could live up to that biography, I’d be happy about that.
