What are the most important aspects of life to you?
Genuine laughter and contentment
What is one thing you would want someone who you just met to know?
I promise you’ll find me a lot cooler after you give me a chance to break out of my shell.
What is your favorite memory at Chapman (so far)?
A group of my friends banged on my door and woke me up with hugs and breakfast on my birthday during freshman year. You simply don’t wake up early in college for just anyone, so it meant a lot to me.
What do you hope to do after graduation?
Move to a big city like New York or LA with a job in the fashion industry lined up, being the “girlboss” I’ve always wanted to be and live an aesthetically pleasing life.
What are some of your hobbies?
Basketball, running, photography, guitar, reading, blogging (nikkihawaii.wixsite.com/nikkihawaii), watching The CW shows, cooking, and avidly checking social media.
What would you consider to be a perfect day?
A perfect day is a productive day. I would naturally wake without needing an alarm and spend my mid-morning at a coffee shop with a friend getting some form of work done with soft alternative music playing in the background. Then, I’d get home and prepare to go work out: three miles of running, some weight work and abs would be ideal. Come back home, shower, have dinner and have some stressless, recreational time like watching a movie and chatting with my housemates.
Where is your favorite place to travel?
Seattle and New York, but Vietnam and Australia are up there too.
