Name: Rafae Omer Ghani
Hometown: Karachi, Pakistan
School/Year: Columbia College ‘18
Major: Super undecided. Could potentially be Econ-Polisci.
Relationship? In a serious relationship with Netflix.
Tell us a little bit about what you do on campus: I’m a brother of Sig Chi and training to be a member of the Undergraduate Recruitment Committee. I also hope to join CORE this semester and engage with the Roosevelt Institute on its policy debates and discussions.
Dream summer internship: Either working under Elon Musk or working for VICE magazine at their office in Williamsburg.
Favorite thing about being in NYC: Two words – food trucks. Oh and being able to see your favorite artists and musicians perform almost every month.
Best restaurant in MoHi: Thai Market for the red curry. Otherwise the halal cart on 115th and Broadway. They know exactly how much white sauce to use.
Best date you have been on: I can’t really categorize a date as the best. If I had to though it could be the time we walked through Central Park during the fall and watched the sunset at the rooftop garden at the Met.
Celebrity Crush: Definitely Jennifer Lawrence. She could be in sweatpants, and she would still be a goddess.
How did you spend your winter break? I went back home and relaxed while catching up with my family and friends from school. It was great being next to the beach everyday in 70 degree weather.
Class you are desperate to take before graduating: History of the City of New York. The midnight bike ride sounds amazing.
Favorite form of procrastination: FIFA tournaments with my floor crew.
What are you most looking forward to this semester? I am looking forward to Spring Fling at Penn and Bacchanal. They are back to back so it will be a mega weekend.
Favorite place on campus that nobody knows about: Definitely the roof of Mudd at night. It’s not the most legal thing to do, but on a clear night the view is breathtaking.
Instagram or Facebook? Facebook. Where else can you see your friends’ hilarious middle school pictures and remind everyone what they looked like?
