If Cupid forgot about you this year, don’t worry. Onward State is here to help, and this year, one lucky arrow is headed straight to the heart of one of Onward State’s finest.

Meet Ericka Apolskis, assistant visual editor and Onward State’s one and only Milan, Italy, resident this semester. She’s allegedly studying abroad, but mostly consuming Aperol spritzes and spending all her time wandering around the Olympic Village.

Ericka hails from Tomball, Texas (the home of Jimmy Butler), and is a junior studying broadcast journalism.

If you’re into espresso and well-shot shots of espresso, Ericka is just the girl for you. In her nonexistent free time, Ericka works as a barista downtown at Vibe Coffee, is actively involved with her sorority Delta Zeta, and helps to lead tours at the Penn State All-Sports Museum. You’ll typically find her with a camera, an ice-cold shot of whatever liquor is available, and a harmonica in hand.

Ericka is looking for a beau who is significantly taller than her (6 feet and up ONLY, don’t lie), looks good in a mascot costume, can do the Pitch Perfect riff-off, and wants to travel the world together.

If you’re lucky enough to take Ericka’s hand this Valentine’s Day, just know it will likely happen over Zoom unless you’re willing to drop $1,200 on a last-minute flight to Milan. In that case, she may legally bind herself to you for your financial stability and commitment to romance. United Club membership preferred.

Without further ado, let’s get into some more fast facts about Onward State’s finest eligible bachelorette.
