This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at CNU chapter and does not reflect the views of Her Campus.

Name: Tariq Khan

Year: “I took a semester off, but I’m a Junior.”

Relationship Status: Single

Major: History, with a minor in German

Hometown: Vienna, VA

Celebrity Crush: “Probably Ellie Kemper. Especially in her new role as Kimmy Schmidt. I like the positivity of that show.”

 

A fun fact about yourself: “I lived in Brazil for 5 years. When my mom got a job there, the whole family moved. I liked it a lot, but I didn’t appreciate it because I was a little kid. Had I been there a few years later, I would have taken more of an interest in local culture and whatnot.”

Secret talents: “Well, I consider myself a fairly good cook. I can’t bake very well at all.”

Guilty pleasures: “I enjoy drinking tea. It’s not guilty pleasure. Sorry, not sorry. My favorite kind is earl grey. I really enjoy exploring the nuances of grammar.”

What’s your favorite thing to cook?: “Let’s see… grilled chicken. I like how you can marinate it in just about any flavor.”

Ideal Date: “Hanging out in the park. Like a picnic.”

I am a current senior at Christopher Newport University as a history major with a minor in childhood studies. A future elementary school teacher, with a blossoming passion for photography!
