Name: Maria Claudia Sanchez Rodriguez, but I go by Claudia
Age: 21
Major: Petroleum Engineering
Hometown: “I’m originally from Coloumbia, but I grew up in Muskego, Wisconsin.”
Are you involved in anything on campus?: “Society of Petroluem Engineers, American Society of Petroleum Engineers, and Engineering Student Council. I did KJHK for like three years too, but I was too busy this year.”
How would you describe your aesthetic?: “I just woke up.”
How do you spend your free time?: “I watch a lot of TV, a lot of sports. My favorite sport is soccer, I watch it like a maniac. Don’t @ me.”
Who is your favorite soccer team?: “FC Barcelona!”
If you could spend a day doing anything you wanted, what would you do?: “Anything I want? Um… Honestly, I’d probably just sit at home and catch up on TV that I’ve missed. I don’t watch like trash TV but I watch a lot of dramas. HBO is my go to.”
What’s your worst habit?: “I have a lot! I’m really lazy. Oh man, I cannot bring myself to do like, anything. Like right now I think I broke my hand and I’m so lazy I won’t even go to a doctor to get it looked at. I’d rather just have it cut off so I wouldn’t have to deal with it. That’s how lazy I am.”
Who do you consider your idol?: “Ronald Inho, he’s a soccer player. He was on FC Barcelona when I was little and I still love him and will forever.”
Favorite part about going to KU?: “Basketball. Obviously.”
What’s a random fact about you?: “So, I can’t hear really well because one time I had breast milk in my ear. It was a random chinese women’s breast milk, she owned the chinese restaurant next door and I had an ear infection, so my grandma decided to ask this new mom for some breast milk in a shot glass and she poured it in my ear. So, long story short, I’m slightly deaf in my right ear.”
What’s the weirdest thing that’s ever happened to? (As if it can get weirder): One time when I was four years old I locked our maid out of the house and told her she was fired. All she did was sit around and talk on the phone (she was like seventeen) and would blame the high phone bill on me. My parents ended up grounding me. That’s when I realized I’m kind of a bitch.. True story.”
You seem to have a lot of hilarious stories, got any others?: “One time I got stung by a swarm of jellyfish and my entire family had to pee on me. Like fifteen people all took turns peeing on me… I realize now that that’s a myth… but I was in a lot of pain and they wouldn’t take me to a doctor. They literally left me sitting in a jeep, covered in their pee, to go eat at a restaurant. Good times”
