Interests(a couple of these will be horribly abstract):
Psychology:
I study psychology at UM and work in two research labs in UM's Psych Dept. I am specifically interested in social psychology as well as the crossover between philosophy and psychology in terms of areas like morality and happiness. Though I'm also interested in modes of experience and meaning, though that gets pretty abstract. Philosophy is another great interest of mine, and I also love relating to these ideas through literature. I can't get enough of this stuff!
Art:
I love all forms of art! Some of my most prominent interests are photography, theatre, orchestra, fashion, film, and literature. I love to dabble in photography when I have the chance - which is usually when I travel (to places like Viet Nam!).
Academia:
I absolutely love being in college specifically because of the constant intellectual stimulation and variety of experiences it offers. I plan to spend the rest of my life in academia in one form or another, through graduate study, and then research and ultimately a professorship.
Favorites!:
Music: I like such a wide variety, from Simon & Garfunkel, to Animal Collective & CocoRosie, to Sufi world music, to more recently some pop like Lady Gaga and M.I.A.
Films: I enjoy films by Ingmar Bergman, Woody Allen, Jean-Pierre Jeunet, Hayao Miyazaki, Darren Aronofsky, and many others.
Food: Middle-eastern food in general ice cream are probably my favorites :] I'm also addicted to coffee (and tea to an extent) - Turkish coffee is the best!
