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

Name: Victor Barrera Jr. (Friends call me Victor and my family calls me Junior)

Year: I’m currently a Sophomore

Major: Majoring in Chemical Engineering

Hobbies/Interests: I like watching all sorts of documentaries about things that happen around the world. If I’m not watching Youtube videos then I’m reading the crap out of a book, a newspage or anything else that has words. And I like playing video games with my best friend (who’s name is also Victor).

Interesting Fact:  My favorite animal is a moose. Everyone I tell that too thinks it’s weird.

 Perfect Date:  A perfect date would involve going out to eat something that neither one of us has tried and then either kick back at our place or go find some antique shops to explore.

Qualities you look for in a guy:  He would be older, taller and just as sarcastic as me. Someone who’s interests and personality are very similar to mine and isn’t afraid to try something new.

If you could travel anywhere where would you travel:  If I could go anywhere in the world I would go to Peru, because on Christmas Day, the villages of indegenous people (men, women, young and old) have fist-fights with one another to resolve past conflicts and make peace all in one day. So it would be interesting to watch and a hoot to take part in.

Favorite Song at the moment: At the moment my favorite song is ‘Despedida’ by Julieta Venegas.

Claudia was born in Mexico and moved to Chicago at the age of 8. She is currently attending the University of Illinois at Chicago as a Marketing major. She is really excited to be a part of the HerCampus team and is ready to make HC grow at UIC. She can’t go a day without exercising and especially enjoys Zumba! She loves fashion and reads blogs every day, that’s where she gets her inspiration when she dresses, and hopes to one day have her own! Claudia is currently a representative for AKIRA Chicago, for discount codes contact her at (cmarti74@uic.edu). She strives to be a better person every day, and is really thankful for everything she has. One of Claudia’s favorite quotes is “Enjoy all that you have while you pursue everything that you want”.
