I watched this Italian movie when I was in 7th grade called Cinema Paradiso, and it was one of the most beautiful movies I’ve ever watched.

Junior Jason Jeong estimates the number of foreign films he’s seen to be somewhere between 30 to 40. His favorite movie is also the first foreign film he’s ever watched: Cinema Paradiso, directed by Giuseppe Tornatore. He enjoys watching French, Italian, Korean, Chinese, and Japanese films for their artistic nature.

I like to read before I go to bed. It’s really calming.

Ayla spends her free time reading mostly fiction novels or books recommended by her friends. Her favorite book is The Fault in Our Stars by John Green, and she is currently reading A Little F’d Up: Why Feminism is Not a Dirty Word by Julie Zeilinger.
You don’t even have to have an out-there style. You can just get regular stuff that people don’t want anymore or grew out of.

Gabi believes that thrifting is a win-win situation, helping both the environment and her wallet. She finds it disappointing that nearby thrift stores are relatively expensive, so she recommends San Francisco for cheaper finds. Some of Gabi’s favorite thrift stores located around campus are on the map below.
