Name: Farhin Lilywala

Major: Journalism

Guilty pleasure: My guilty pleasure would probably be singing at the top of my lungs while I drive, along with yelling at others on the road who don’t know how to drive. Sometimes, my mood changes with the mood of the song. Oh, but when I get to my favorite part of the song, I forget the other drivers and sing, loud.

​Favorite Hooch piece: My favorite piece would still probably be “Snake Life,” by David Bajo (Animal issue).

Best college moment (so far): My best college moment so far would be when the previous Editor-in-Chief called me to congratulate me on becoming the next Editor-in-Chief of the Collegian. I remember smiling so hard my face hurt and screaming.
