HC: Are you involved in any clubs at SU?
HJ: “I’m on the executive board of the Black Student Union, as well as an exec board member of the Student Activities Committee. I’m a member of the National Congress of Black Women and I go to other clubs, dibble dabble.”
HC: What do you do for fun on campus?
HJ: “What is fun? I have so much work to do. You know I like to hang out with my friends, sometimes I go to the gym. I do yoga, I like to draw, paint, etc.”
HC: What’s your favorite food?
HJ: “My favorite food? Okay. This is a very complex question. I have a thing for French fries, I really love them and will eat them whenever. I also have this thing with nachos – I can’t explain it, we’re soul mates. I love them, very much. I don’t know because I also really love Indian food, I just like food in general.”
HC: What do you plan on doing with your major?
HJ: “One day I hope to be a magazine editor.”
HC: Could you elaborate.
HJ: “I want to work for a magazine, a magazine like Vice or Cosmo. I know they’re very different, but those are just things that I’m interested in. I also want to do something with art, like an artist.”
HC: I know SU students have to study abroad. Where do you plan on going?
HJ: “In the Fall of 2017 will be going to Cape Town, South Africa.”
HC: For how long?
HJ: “For an entire semester. I’m looking forward to just being in a different environment. I really want to go into their culture, the people really don’t see. Go outside of the touristy areas.”
HC: Do you have any fear?
HJ: “Uhm, yes. I’m going to be there by myself and it’s 22 hours away by plane.”
