Your college career would not be the same without…: PennQuest!
Best Penn memory: The night Obama got elected was so exciting, everyone was out on campus, there was an impromptu rally by the high rises and then we all marched down to City Hall. I was running around hugging people.
Advice for Penn freshmen: Take advantage of what Penn and Philly have to offer. Never stay in, always go out. Also, go abroad (I went to Spain for spring semester of Junior year). Enjoy it while it lasts!
What’s on your Philly bucket list? Penn’s Morris Arboretum (since it’s free I might as well check it out), the Penn archaeology museum, and the art gallery next to Fisher Fine Arts Library.
Perfect vacation: I like to explore different cultures so somewhere where I can go out and see something different…and I can’t complain if there’s warmth and proximity to the beach. It’s always nice going to Spanish speaking countries and employing my skills.
Favorite sport: Tennis. I played in high school and haven’t played much since then, which is sad.
Favorite TV show: The Wire, and I’m a GLEEK (it’s a guilty pleasure). Also, The Daily Show.
Favorite band: The Shins.
Dog person or cat person: Dog, I think cats are really annoying.
Favorite food truck: KoJa (Korean/Japanese food on 38th and Walnut).
Favorite cartoon character: Skeeter Valentine, from Doug.
What super power would you want? Definitely time travel—so I could see my dad when he was in college!
What’s more attractive, Republican or Democrat? I will say a progressive democrat.
Perfect first date: Dinner and a good conversation.
Favorite pick-up line: I’m dodging the question.
Celebrity Crush: I have two—my celebrity female crush would be Beyoncé and my celebrity male crush would be Jake Gyllenhaal.
Does true love last forever? I’m too young to answer that.
Favorite quote: I don’t live by quotes, I do my own thing.
Words of wisdom:Take risks!
