If you could travel anywhere right this moment, where would you go?
Sydney, Australia.There are so many things to do, like scuba diving, skydiving and climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
What are your hobbies? Reading, listening to music and travelling.
Why did you come to Behrend? Because my courses didn’t allow me to start at University Park, but I surprisingly ended up liking Behrend.
Since coming to America, have you experienced any culture shock?
Well, Americans are open about basically everything!
Were you nervous to go to college in a different country/coming to America?
Yes, I was so afraid of being judged or being bullied just like the movie Mean Girls.
How has the food been since coming here?
For an Indian, American food is tasteless because it lacks all of the spices we add to all our dishes.
What are your goals for this year?
Getting a good GPA, and having the “ultimate college experience.”
What do you want to do once you graduate school?
I thought I had a set plan, but I don’t anymore. Probably PR or even an actor for a Hollywood tv show like Scandal.
If you could switch places with someone for a day, who would it be and why?
I’ll just simply answer with a line from my favorite song “If I was you, I’d wanna be me too” #confident
If you were a flavor of ice cream, what flavor would you be?
Bittersweet mint, because I’m the perfect combination of sassy and approachable.
What’s a fact about you that not many people know?
I might look overly confident, but the truth is I’m quite insecure.
What do you look for in a partner?
Sexy yet passionate and understanding. So basically impossible to find.
Thanks for such a fun and exciting interview Maharsh! HCXO
