Hi there! My name is Zhilou Huang, I’m 18 years old and currently a sophomore. I wanted to major in Accounting but switched to Finance for opportunity reasons. I want to minor in psychology because it seems like something I’d be interested in. Both my parents are from Guangzhou, China and had my oldest brother there too. My other brother and I were born in Berlin and we all moved to New York in 2007. We moved here because my dad’s side of the family lives here. I pretty much forgot how to speak German due to the lack of communication of this language. I remember always eating doners in Berlin or as they call it here- gyros.
Some of my hobbies include hanging out with friends, sleeping, painting, watching anime, shows and movies, and listening to music. I listen to many types of genres such as rap, pop, or r&b depending on my mood. Some of my favorite artists are Kanye West, Troye Sivan, Frank Ocean, and Khalid. I also love the band Brockhampton for their uniqueness and upbeat music. Throughout my life I’ve had many pets. I currently have 3 cats and used to have turtles, fish, and hamsters. In the future I really want to get a dog, preferably a Shiba inu or golden retriever.
I look forward to this English 2850 class as it has a fun environment already. I want to join clubs like She’s the First, UCLA, or anything honestly to meet new people. I don’t think I’m going to have much time though due to work. I’m currently a cashier at Shoprite and don’t really mind the work. I was a little worried that I wouldn’t be able to juggle both work and six classes, but I think I’ll be able to manage. I enjoy eating all types of foods and want to be able to try foods of diverse cultures. I also want to travel to different states and countries and see what it’s like. I’m excited for my future and what it has to hold.
