Patricia Layne Alderton, orginially born February 8, in Baltimore, Maryland, loves to travel and vacation but hates moving. She credits her hatred towards the fact that she's been through four elementary schools, three middle schools, one high school and now one college. When asked why she didn't want to transfer to another college from FSU, she states, "I hate moving, and I'm done with having to start over." The only reason she has to relocate so much throughout her 19 years is because her mother simply "likes to move alot," but for now she's happily stationed herself on Paul Street in Frostburg for the school year. She still spends her summers with her mother being a beach bum in Delaware's well-known Rehoboth Beach. Due to her love of vacationing she has been to places such as New York, Florida, and Georgia. After visiting her father in Atlanta, Georgia, she's come to the conclusion that she would greatly enjoy living down South when she's older because, "people are much more relaxed and easy going down there." This lifestyle seems to fit her very well as she is quite bubbly with her curly blonde hair and laid back attitude.
However, she's got a bad side that comes out in the form of tattoos and color therapy. She currently has two tattoos; "AMR" behind her right ear, a tribute to her friends who's died, and a vine of roses on her right side. But she hoped one day to have an entire sleeve going down one of her arms. Her bad side is better reflected in her obsession over the show Sons of Anarchy, a drama about the lives of an outlaw motorcycle gang, and enjoys "Sons of Anarchy Nights" where her friends make no other plans but to watch the episode premieres and veg-out on popcorn. (http://www.fxnetworks.com/shows/originals/soa/) As for color therapy, she says she really doesn't have a favorite color but wants to start interpretting more red into her wardrobe because "people are subconsciously intimidated by the color red" she blames her choice on a "power thing."
At FSU Patricia is studying Mass Communication with Public Relations and Physcology minors, hoping one day to be either a news another or publicist. She keeps busy on campus working as a manager at the Tawes building, where she unlocks doors and patrols the hallways, she also holds the Student Affairs Chair in SGA, and is a sister of the nationally recognized Alpha Sigma Tau. Between her busy schedules she makes time for her boyfriend of almost 3 years, Jimmy, her eyes light up as she explains he is her best friend. She also stays occupied taking care of her "spoiled brat" cat, Big Pete, who lives with her here in town. She rescued Big Pete from behind the Food Lion in Rehoboth, where she worked during previous summers. She explains she loves Big Pete to much because, "He has been the only thing that has ever been all min. Since my mom pays for my car and phone, she can still take those away is she wants. But he's been the only thing I've ever taken care of since I found him when he was so small he could fit in just one hand."
Patricia enjoys spending any time away from class, work, Jimmy, Big Pete or her sorority sisters, reading as it's one of her favorite pastimes. She enjoys reading so much she even loves to watch movies with subtitles such as Pan's Labyrinth; however her favorite book is still Marley and Me by John Grogan. She also fancies the movie Fried Green Tomatoes, and says it still makes her cry every time she watches it. But she hates scary movies and states, "I can't even have ice cream before bed because it gives me nightmares." When given a puzzled look, she continues, "Sugar just excites me. I have ADD, so too much sugar just isn't good." When it comes to music she exclaims her favorite song is "Konstantine" by Something Corporate because she states, "It is the story of my life."

Patricia Layne Alderton is a typical happy-go-lucky sorority sister, but her bouncy exterior masks a studious "bad girl" who would do anything for her boyfriend and fat cat.
