HC: Which three words describe you best?

 

ZW: I am a bit nerdy, a bit of a romantic, and a bit introspective.

 

HC: What’s your favorite quote?

 

ZW: “What do we live for, if not to make life less difficult for each other?”

-George Eliot

 

HC: What characteristics do you look for in a girl?

 

ZW: I like a girl with a great smile and nice eyes, and a girl who wouldn’t mind spending a Saturday night just listening to music and playing Mario Kart.

 

HC: What would your dream date be like?

 

ZW: We would go out to a pretty nice restaurant for dinner, then go to a concert of a band we both like, have a blast, dance around to some great tunes, and then maybe we would get some ice cream afterwards. That sounds delicious, right?

 

HC: What would you say is your biggest life goal?

 

ZW: This will probably sound cheesy, but what I look forward to most is having a family and settling down. That, and I want to travel to the rain forests some day.

 

HC: If you could be an animal, what kind of animal would you be?

 

ZW: Okapi or a Panda. Okapis are my favorite animal. Random fact: they can clean their ear with their tongue. Oh wait, that is kind of gross. But pandas are just so damn cute; everyone would want to hug me!

 

HC: What’s your favorite band?

 

ZW: Death Cab For Cutie and Modest Mouse, I refuse to pick just one!

 

HC: What activities do you enjoy on campus?

 

ZW: Well, I really love DJing on VIC radio (www.vicradio.org). You can tune in and hear me on Thursdays at 2-4 PM EST, and I’ll even play you a request if you ask.
