About Me

I am a student in the Pratt School of Engineering at Duke University, and a member of the class of 2016. I plan on declaring a major in electrical engineering.


Name Pronunciation

"Shelby Horton" is pronounced "SHELL-bee HOAR-tin." There is another word homophonous to the beginning of my last name that means "a promiscuous woman"... see if you can guess what it is...


Current Courses

For the Fall 2012 semester I am taking:

MATH 111

ENG 103

CHEM 101

CLST 189 aka Roman Civilization


Random/Interesting Facts

I love, love, love playing basketball, and I just recently joined the Duke Club basketball team.

My favorite music artist of all-time is, has been, and will probably forever be Paramore; other honorable mentions include VersaEmerge, Flyleaf, Shinedown, and Evanescence.

My favorite book series of all-time are The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare, the Pendragon series by D.J. MacHale, The Underland Chronicles by Suzanne Collins, and the Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead.

My favorite word is “epitome,” because I’ve been using it in writing since forever but only learned about a year ago that it’s NOT pronounced “ep-pit-TOME.” You can’t even begin to imagine the horror I felt that day.

I can only do a handstand when my legs are resting on my shoulders. It is completely understandable if you are having difficulty mentally picturing this.

Favorite Quote: “Don't build up a world of magic, Just because your real life is tragic. And remember to keep your feet on the ground, Even when your head's in the clouds. Make sure to build your home brick by boring brick, Or the world's gonna blow it down." – Paramore
