1. Describe yourself if 3 words.

Sarcastic, personable and energetic.

2. Who’s your celebrity crush?

Obvi! JJL also known as Joseph Gordon-Levitt!

3. What do you look for in a guy?

Someone that can make me laugh so hard that I cannot even breathe. Someone who pushes me to try new things (ie. condiments, ethnic foods I haven’t tried yet).

4. Hipster or Prep? And why?

I’m a fan of hipsters because I just like their laid-back style, yet it’s put together and they have a lot of earthy tones and I’m really into that.

5. Describe your ideal date?

My ideal date would be something super simple and casual, like going to a bookstore in the Castro, and walking around North Beach at night, or going to a Giants game.

6. Brunette, blonde, redhead or other?

I don’t discriminate when it comes to men.

7. What’s something unique about you?

I have a green birthmark on my ankle that is in the shape of a heart, and I refuse to try Nutella.

8. Nutella is bomb? why?

I refuse to try it, because I know I’m going to get addicted to it, so I’d rather cut it off before it starts.

9. Where can you be found on campus?

In the newsroom, HUM 310. I’m the one behind the computer, designing pages.

10. Would you date a guy even if he didn’t read the newspaper Xpress?

If they do not read the paper that’s fine, but would turn him into an Xpress reader, and if he’s not willing to try -it’s a no go.
