but distance wouldn't be a problem for us.
- I'm gonna tell you a secret.
UCLA was my dream school too.
- Oh really?
- I got wait listed.
I don't think I got off the wait list,
but then I got into the rival school and like-

- I was about to say, I really like your outfit.
- Oh, thank you. - Those boots are awesome.
- Thank you.
I was scared to wear them
because I didn't know how tall you were,
kind of a power move.
- Where'd you get the skirt?
- The skirt is from Depop. Shop second hand.
I'm super into fashion. I saw your little bear.
You still have to name it.
- Well, do you have any ideas?
- Honestly, I feel like Melvin junior was a good one.
- Okay.
- Style is fun.
And you can tell a lot about a person
looking at their outfit.
- What would you say about me?
- Okay, the black is giving a little bit reserved,
mysterious, but then the Teddy bear is like,
"Okay, well he has a soft spot."
There's two sides to everybody.
- You know what I've been trying to get recently?
- What?
- I want a racing jacket really bad.
But I haven't been able to find one.
- We gotta thrift, we'll find one.
We'll find one.

- Not really. Are you?
- No. - I just wear
whatever looks nice. - I'm not actually.

Tarantino or Nolan?

- Okay favorite Nolan movie.
- This might be a hot take.
I should have said this earlier,
but I really enjoyed "Tenet."
- No no no really? Oh my God I love "Tenet."
- Growing up I liked a lot of anime.
- Are you still into anime or?
- I honestly don't have time, but I read a lot of manga
and I'm watching "Spy Family" right now.
We should watch one together.

I really like it there I actually lived there for a year.
- Oh wow. how'd you like that experience?
- It was so good.
I feel like it's always nice
to meet people that are the same like you
and just really get in touch with your culture.
- Do you know exactly what you're looking for?
Long term, short term, just for fun?
- Honestly, I'm still trying to figure that out
to be honest. - Same, same.
- I've only been on this earth for 19 years
so there's a lot for me to figure out.
- Very true.
- Are you involved in anything on campus?
- Yeah, so I'm a campus ambassador
and then I'm also on a dance team.
