Favorite Spot on campus and why: It would probably have to be the little patio area behind the Writing Center. It’s a charming, quiet spot that many people don’t stumble upon, so it’s a nice place to sit by one of the benches and do work. Or you can just enjoy the nature!

Also I love playing any kinds of games: board games, video games — you name it! I’m always willing to give something a try.
