Aliza Siddiqui

AN INTENDED ECONOMICS MAJOR, ALIZA IS A SOPHOMORE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA BERKELEY LOOKING FORWARD TO ALL THAT LIFE AND SOCIETY19 HAS TO OFFER. SHE HAS STUDIED IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT SCHOOLS IN OVER SIX DIFFERENT COUNTRIES SINCE BIRTH, AND HAS THUS SUFFERED SEVERAL INFORMAL 'LAWSUITS' OVER FABRICATING A NEW RESPONSE TO THE “WHERE ARE YOU FROM?” QUESTION EVERY TIME IT IS ASKED; THE ANSWER DIFFERS DEPENDING ON THE CURRENT LOCATION AND, OCCASIONALLY, THE ASKER. ALIZA, PERHAPS THE ONLY EIGHTEEN-YEAR-OLD WHO LOVES BROCCOLI AND LOATHES WHITE CHOCOLATE, ENJOYS WATCHING ROMANCE MOVIES, SLEEPING - BUT ONLY DURING THE DAYTIME - WITH THREE DIFFERENT LAYERS OF CLOTHING ON, AND LAUGHING HER SILVERY SOCKS OFF WHILE BINGING ON SOME GOOD QUALITY BOLLYWOOD COMEDY SHOWS. IT IS ALSO TRUE THAT WHILE WRITING POETRY IN HER LEISURE TIME, ALIZA ALSO WATCHES COUNTLESS SOAP OPERAS ON HER DUSTY LAPTOP AND MUNCHES ON HARIBO BEARS (GO BEARS! - IT'S HER COLLEGE MASCOT!)
