It would be the MU!

Davis is known for being a biking campus, why do you choose to skateboard?

I choose to skate board for many reasons! First of all, I live really close to campus and Davis is really flat so it makes for an easy ride! Also, it depends on the season, because if it is raining, I obviously can’t ride! Also, if I have a lot of classes, I will ride my skateboard to make sure I am not late to any of my classes. Finally, if I feel I have too much going on, I choose to walk instead of ride to take some time for myself.

Since you are from SoCal, What was it like adjusting to the weather up here?

I actually love the weather up here, especially when it is cooler, because that is what it was like in Brazil!

Monkey, because I love to climb shit! Also, I am defined as that by my friends from NorCal, SoCal, and Brazil!

I will go for a walk!

Advice to Freshman self?

I don’t like giving my past self any advice, because I grew from my past experiences.
