What made you choose CSULA?
I live really close to the university and I work really close by too. To me, CSULA is a great school because it’s very diverse.
What does your daily routine look like?
It’s sadly a Monday through Friday kind of routine. Monday and Tuesday I get up for work at 7:00AM and work until 4:00PM. Then after work I go to school from 4:20-10:00. Wednesday and Thursday I also work from 7:00AM-4:00PM then go to school from 4:20-6:00. Then Friday I work from 8:00AM-4:00PM. I have to make my money somehow right?
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
I see myself working in my own business and being a successful businessman. Considering that my major is business, I would obviously love to have my own business.
What qualities do you look for in a significant other?
I look for someone who understands me as a person, and doesn’t question the random things I do. I can be a very awkward person at times, but that doesn’t mean I don’t like you. Not to sound cheesy or anything, but I mainly look for the qualities a person has on the insides. But I mean hey if you are attractive, then it’s a plus.
What is your favorite place in the city?
I have many! I don’t even know where to start. Well first, I really enjoy going to Downtown LA. One of my all time vegetarian restaurants is located in the art district. I also enjoy going to Silver Lake to grab a cup of my favorite Intelligentsia coffee. I occasionally go to Uptown Whittier because one of my favorite stores, Local Fixture, is located there.
What hobbies do you have outside of class?
I really enjoy hiking and staying active. I really dislike staying indoors too often because it stresses me out.
Do you have a favorite band or movie?
This is a tough one… Arctic Monkeys is my favorite band. Although I don’t know whether to consider them a band but rather DJ’s, Disclosure is also one of my favorites. Every time I listen to them, I feel like I can let go and just lose myself to their music. It’s pretty rad.
Do you have any pets?
Yes I do. Her name is Princess and she is one old doggy that I cannot live without. She is 13 and still going strong. :)
