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

Marilyn is a second year English Major. She is a true southern California girl who always knows how to have fun but more importantly knows how to crack down on the books. 


What’s your favorite phrase?
“let’s get raaaaaaaaaatchet” (hahahaha)

Who’s your musical icon?
Rihanna, hands down

Do you think she’s a good role model for women?
I like that she sexualizes herself. If guys can do it why can’t girls?

Scenario time! If a “thirsty” guy comes up to you in the club what do you do?
Grab your friend’s hand, do a twirl and go “ ayeeeeeeeeee”

If there is something you can eat for the rest of your life without getting tired of it, what would it be?
CHICKEN ALFREDO FETUCCINI!!!!

Can you cook?
HYFR

What do you look for in a guy?
Someone who is nice, funny, driven, cute, tall, and smart!

Who’s your celebrity crush?
Drake! And Chris Brown!

What is your favorite Drake and Chris Brown song?
Drake- We’ll Be Fine
Chris Brown- Look at me Now!

How important is Education?
It’s very important. I don’t like quizzes, homework, reading but I like my mind being opened to other subjects.

If you were a rapper what would be your name?
Mayy

Which artist would you collaborate with?
Nicki Minaj

How do you balance school and life?
Monday through Friday, school is my priority. Weekends are for family and friends.

It’s the year 2022 what do you see yourself doing?
Writing, teaching, doing documentaries, two kids no more no less, and living in a private beach.

Who do you think is a good role model for women?
For me it’s Rihanna. She symbolizes freedom and expression, and she is well respected for that.

How did you feel about the Rihanna and Chris Brown collaboration on Birthday Cake?
I liked it. She forgave him, if she can do it why can’t we? It took a lot to forgive for what happened. It helped with her career as well.

What are three things every girl should know about themselves?
Know your worth. Have self respect, and be open minded, don’t think all guys are dogs.

How important is education for black women?
It’s important to know where you’re from. Be proud of who you are. We are misrepresented and are heavily stereotyped. It’s not cool to be stupid. With education we triumph over any negativity and show to the world what we are made of.

How long should a girl wait to have sex?
Personally do it when you’re ready. When you trust the guy and you love him. I won’t judge if it happens the next day.

How do you feel about tattoos on girls?
It’s all art. Make sure the pain is worth it because it’s permanent. The tattoo should mean something to you. If you get something like “5 star b*tch” that’s just demeaning. I would rather see a lilo and stitch tattoo.

If you could marry any Disney prince/princess who would it be?
Prince Naveen. He has a developing character and growth.
