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

Name: Iori Yoshida (or Ijik Yoon); I have two names! I have a Japanese one and Korean one because both of my parents are Korean, but I was born and raised in Japan! So, both of my names are legal, but everyone calls me Iori.

Year: Sophomore

Hometown: Tokyo, Japan

Major: I just changed my major to general education; I’m still trying to figure out what I want to do!

Dream Job: Dancer! I want to be a back-up dancer, or be a wizard to go to Hogwarts.

Relationship Status: Single

Birthday: October 15, 1994

Zodiac Sign: Libra 

Campus Activities/Involvement: I am a sister of Alpha Delta Pi, a member of Alpha Lambda Delta and a teammate of WVWC Dance Team!

Hobbies: Dancing, drawing, going shopping, making fun of my roommate, hanging out with my friends and going to Starbucks with my best friends.

Best Moment at College: Every single moment is my favorite because I am learning so many things here away from home. I have met my best friends, joined a sorority, learned about a new culture, etc. I appreciate everything that I have been given.

Best Feature: My personality! I am kind of shy, but I try to be outgoing. I love to talk to people (but I am still figuring out how to talk to people in English.) My life goal is to make people happy, so I always want to support someone who needs help. Also, I just love to see my friends smile.

Favorite Place to Be: I have so many favorite places to be! The beach in California, New York City, Starbucks in my hometown of Tokyo, and anywhere that there’s a big stage I can dance on!

Favorite Food: Of course, sushi, but cheese is my side bae!

Favorite Quote/Motto: “Somehow I can’t believe that there are any heights that can’t be scaled by a man who knows the secrets of making dreams come true. This special secret, it seems to me, can be summarized in four C’s. They are curiosity, confidence, courage, and constancy, and the greatest of these is confidence.  When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way.”  – Walt Disney. I love this quote because I love him and I truly believe this.

Celebrity Crush: Zac Efron. I think he is perfect. He can dance, sing and his smile makes me so happy.

Ideal First Date: I would like to go to a movie theater or Starbucks and then I would just want to have a good time (I would actually like to go shopping in NYC and then go to a fancy restaurant on the top of the highest building in the city). But honestly, I would be happy with anything as long as my date was happy.

Would you rather approach someone or be approached? Be approached. I would rather approach someone when I speak Japanese!

What do you look for in a significant other? I look for someone who has a sense of a humor who is also tall and kind! I want to be in a relationship where we can both help each other with whatever we need to!

Are you looking for a relationship currently? I am just going with the flow right now!
