Her Campus Emory (HCE): What has been your greatest moment at Emory?

Jake: Every sunny say at Emory is great, but surviving Chinese 201 was definitely a big moment for me.

HCE: What is your biggest fear?

Jake: Besides spiders and runtime errors, I’m afraid of regret.

HCE: What is your biggest pet peeve?

Jake: My pet peeve is when people are stubborn. It grinds my gears when people don’t realize that I am right and they are wrong.

HCE: What do you see yourself ideally doing after you graduate?

Jake: Ideally, I would rule the world, but a job at Tesla or Google would be pretty cool too.

HCE: What is your most embarassing moment?

Jake: My friends and I were caught by the cops for doing a “poop dollar” prank (Google it—I swear I’m not a terrible person). Explaining myself to my friends and my parents was pretty embarassing.

HCE: What is your guilty pleasure?

Jake: Netflix. I hate that I love it.

HCE: What is the best or worst pick up line you’ve heard?

Jake: “I just saved a baby seal. What’s up?

HCE: Who inspires you?

Jake: Abheek Gosh. What a guy. 

HCE: What is the number one thing on your bucket list?

Jake: I recently crossed off running (and walking) a marathon, so next on the list is skydiving.

HCE: If you could ask your future self one question, what would it be?

Jake: I would ask my future self what his biggest regret is, and then, of course, I would ask for some winning lottery numbers.
