Do you have any hidden talents?

I’m able to draw almost anything from a photo! I’m also very interested in information technology and being able to reciprocate information in the best ways possible.

What’s the quirkiest or most unusual thing about you?

I spend four hours drawing every day. This has helped me deal with my social anxiety majorly. Check out my Instagram account @mya_visuals!

If you could have any superpower, what would it be?

I would love to be able to heal everyone who suffers from addictions, illnesses, and mental health issues.

What advice would you give to your younger self?

I would tell my younger self that I’m beautiful despite any negative comments I would receive, and that people would appreciate what I put out to the world in regards to my art. You can do anything if you put your mind to it.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

A neuroscience major, Shruti works as a research assistant in her school’s cognitive neuroscience lab. She’s also a clinical research associate, chemistry teaching assistant, and volunteer at the Children’s Hospital of St. Louis. 

What are your favorite hobbies?

“One of my favorite things to do is watch reality television. The worse the characters are, the better the show and the more I love it. The only condition I have to watch terrible TV is that I have to be running on the treadmill simultaneously. I also love to sing; jamming out in my car is a daily activity for my sanity, and dance workouts are kind of my best friend. (Side note: I’m horrible at both!)”

What’s something no one knows about you?

“I love to read. Literally any mystery novel written by Sara Shepard or young adult fiction (since I still technically am one, for the next year or so). Recently I’ve really gotten into historical novels and books that take place in a different time setting, whether that be during the 1920s or post-apocalyptic novels. My favorite book ever is Freedom, by Jonathan Franzen, because it’s one of the most relatable books I’ve ever read. Currently I’m working on a list of books that were recommended to read before graduating college. I’ll keep you posted on how far I get!”

Mya O. is a second-year undergraduate student at the SUNY Empire State College in New York. She’s currently pursuing her bachelor’s degree in visual arts.

What’s something no one knows about you?

“I’ve wanted to be a surgeon since I turned 13. I gave up this dream because I couldn’t see myself physically cutting and sewing up anyone. I decided to go with my second passion, as I’m a self-taught artist. I study artists like Picasso and Frida Kahlo and learn from their techniques and styles.”

How do you chill when you’re stressed?

“What helps the most is taking out my headphones and listening to my favorite genres of music (R&B, rap, pop). Nothing makes me happier! If I have the time, sometimes a quick yoga session helps too.”

MaryAnne A. is a fourth-year undergraduate at the University of Rochester in New York where she’s currently studying biomedical engineering.

MaryAnne also works as a peer advisor, tutor, and research assistant. For this issue, MaryAnne reviewed the app Simple Habit.

If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?

I’d like to go to Florence, Italy, just for the art and architecture. I kind of fell in love with Florence through the imagery in Dan Brown’s Robert Langdon books, and I’m pretty sure I was an artist in a previous life. Next stop would be Vatican City. It would be so epic to celebrate mass at least once in St. Peter’s Basilica. 

What’s something quirky or unusual about yourself?

I’m a huge indie rock fan; I love Florence and the Machine and Hozier, and I have the odd habit of playing Breath of Life on blast when I’m walking outside in the snow. Also, clusters of small holes freak me out. (Trypophobia is real, people!)
