What do you look for in a girl?
I love a girl with a nice smile and a good sense of humor. If she can make me laugh, she’s a keeper.
What are your relationship deal breaker(s)?
I’m a pretty chill person so a big deal breaker is a girl who causes a lot of drama.
Describe your ideal or dream date.
My ideal date would be going to a nice Italian restaurant and then taking a walk on the beach.
What is the nicest thing you have ever done for a girl you were dating?
I tried making a nice dinner for a girl before—can’t say I’m the best cook but it’s the thought that counts, right?
What about the nicest thing you have done for a friend or family member?
My sister really wanted a photo booth at her sweet sixteen birthday party, but my parents were already paying a lot of money for the whole party, so I decided to surprise her by getting one. The look on her face when I told her was definitely worth it.
Your favorite, go-to pick up line?
I think just smiling works a lot better but my favorite would have to be, “Did it hurt? When you fell from heaven?”
Any secret, hidden talents you have?
I’m really good at looking like other famous people apparently, hahaha. I’ve been told that I look like Obama and Denzel Washington. I don’t see it but I don’t know, it’s kind of funny. I especially get that I look like Kid Cudi.
Who is your all-time favorite celebrity crush?
Has to be Jennifer Aniston! There’s just something about her. It’s like she gets hotter with age.
What is guaranteed to make your heart melt no matter what?
Definitely say babies. I don’t care if I’m depressed or pissed off, but if you put a cute little baby in front of me, there’s no way I’m gonna stay upset, hahaha.
Proudest accomplishment at UCI so far?
Probably getting my first A in college. I was used to not studying in high school and getting good grades but it’s a whole different level here. It felt good knowing I earned the grade I got.
Favorite memory you have made at UCI so far?
My favorite memories were those days as a freshman when we’d pull random all-nighters for no reason—just hanging out and talking and then going to [Mesa] Commons right when it opened to eat breakfast and then sleeping the rest of the day.
Most embarrassing moment so far?
I remember the first day in the dorms as a freshman, I got locked out of my room. I went to take a shower and my roommate left the room and locked the door, so I was locked out of my room in just my boxers for awhile.
What are you most passionate about?
I love it when I can make other people happy so I’d say I’m passionate about that. If I can make someone’s day for them, then I’d say it’s been a successful day.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Hopefully, I will have an undergraduate degree and be working on getting my MBA by then and hopefully, I’ll have an internship or job with a Big Four firm in finance or accounting.
