Chris Cepeda, FCRH ’13

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Fordham chapter.

Name: Chris Cepeda

Major: Sociology

Single or Taken: Single

Why he picked Fordham: I chose to go to Fordham because I grew up here and wanted to stay close to where I came from. Also, when you come onto the Fordham campus, it’s a world apart from everything surrounding it. 

Hobbies: I Love listening to music and I DJ because of it. I have a passion for programming and policy initiatives, which grew into me becoming part of the Commuting Students Association. I enjoy trying new foods from different places and like to travel. And, I guess like most guys, I’m definitely a big sports fan. I am probably one of the biggest Jets fans you will meet!

What he looks for in a girl:  If I had to break it down in parts of what I look for in a girl it would be attraction, personality, and spontaneity. Attraction is what gets my attention, but her personality it what wins me over. She has to be outgoing, have a sense of humor, and to be able to enjoy her life. Spontaneity is the last because it is not the biggest factor, but it is a factor I like to see in a girl. To me, being in a relationship entails being very spontaneous to spice things up, and I feel like being spontaneous adds excitement and keeps things new.
