Name: Elina Shirazi
Year at AU: Sophomore
Major: International Relations and Broadcasting double major
Hometown: Fairfax, Virginia
Relationship Status: Single
Dream Job: News reporter for NBC
Dream Date: Probably something romantic. I like good old-fashioned dates just as much as the next person. I am such a girl when it comes to things like that.
Ideal Boy: You can’t really help who you like, but if I had to streamline it: he is a gentleman, ambitious, and meanwhile doesn’t take themselves too seriously. I like a guy who knows what he wants.
Hobbies/interests: Lets see…traveling, playing piano, painting, reading, swimming, and making short films. I also love watching classical movies; it’s like an escape for me.
Guilty pleasure: The show The Tudors, cinnamon gum, and Glamour magazine.
Pet Peeves: People who don’t realize their full potential. That’s my biggest one.
Dream Vacation: Either a week in Dubai or to stay in an exotic island. I have to have good company though. That always makes the trip worth it.
Favorite Movies: 500 days of summer and Pirates of the Caribbean. They are one of those movies that you can watch again and again and find something new each time.
Your favorite Phrases:
“Elegance is the only beauty that never fades”
“I strive to be both a child and an adult at the same time. Those rare people are the best type to be around.”
Something many people do not know about you: There is a lot many people don’t know about me. One is that I can speak Farsi fluently and can hula hoop for three hours.
Most Embarrassing Moment: Accidently lighting my friend’s hair on fire at a birthday party while lighting the candles. So bad…
What’s on top of your Christmas list: I just want to be with my family and close friends…those are the people that give me the best gifts anyways.
