People who drive slow in the fast lane, absolutely.

Have you ever watched ‘The Hills”…?

How is growing up Muslim in America?
It is amazing. It helps me keep balance in my life and ground my experiences. I’ve been helping out at the ICR (Islamic Center of Rochester) working with children. It has given me patience, taught me to be humble and it just brings joy to my life.

If you were a girl on campus, who would you be and why?
Janna Gewirtz, because she is so bubbly, fun and always happy.
