In the future, YOMO will be a humanitarian competition of sorts involving college students from different schools competing to make their respective communities a better place.

HC: Okay, fun fact time! Tell us about your boyfriend.
AJ: I could talk about him for days! He’s my best friend and means everything to me! We went to high school together, but are currently at different colleges. He’s so smart and funny and caring. He supports me and encourages me all the time, and we always have fun together. Long distance is hard, but he’s definitely worth it!

HC: Favorite drink?
AJ: At this point in the semester, anything with caffeine! But I do love raspberry iced tea.

HC: If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would it be?
AJ: I would have to say the Bahamas! Just a nice, warm, relaxing place surrounded by beaches and ocean. It would be so nice!

AJ: My favorite subject is American Sign Language! It’s such an amazing language and so much fun to learn.
HC: Where do you see yourself in 20 years?
AJ: Hmm, 20 years from now… hopefully in a successful career with a happy little family! And maybe back in California so I can be close to the ocean.
