Hello future Ball State students and parents. My name is Phylecia Thompson. My name is pronounced ‘Felicia’. You can also think of Phylicia Rashad from the Cosby Show to remember my name. I go by two nicknames. The first is Phylecia with a PH, or PH for short. I was honored by the name at a Ball State student organization, BSA (Black Student Association), because I didn’t want people to forget my name. During introductions I said, “My name is Phylecia with a PH, not an F.” In order to prove the odd spelling of my name, I had to pass my student ID around.
At my on campus job, the Digital Corps (not Corpse, my boss hates the mispronunciation of Corps), my nickname is 108. My boss likes to call me 108, because that’s how much I weight. However, I can eat more than my roommates combined, because of my awesome metabolism. My ultimate dream (next to writing for animated cartoons) is to train and compete in a food contest. A girl can dream, right?
