2. I’m a Neuroscience major.
3. I hope to become a pediatric neurologist. #Dr.Nwankwo
4. My favorite authors are Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Toni Morrison, Zadie Smith, and Jane Austen
5. I want to take a gap year and work a lot before medical school. Maybe take some classes outside my field.
6. I really love to write, but I’m a science major so I don’t get to explore my passion for writing as much. But I try as much as I can through my blog.
7. I love learning about race/gender differences and how it has influenced communities.
8. I hate learning and reading about politics, but I feel like it’s so important to educate myself in today’s political climate.
9. My favorite book is The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison.
10. I had a strong Tumblr emo phase in middle school and basically, only listened to emo-pop rock music.
11. I’m Nigerian. My family is from Enugu state🇳🇬
12. My music range is so eclectic. I listen to really with whatever I vibe with: Pop punk, Old-school R&B, new RNB, Afrobeats, classic rock, soul etc.
13. I’m a movie head. My favorite movies are Citizen Kane, American History X, Moonlight, Traning day…you know what I’ll do a separate post on this one day cause my list won’t fit.
14. I want to start posting and writing original work, but I’m too insecure. As a science major, I feel like I lack a lot of the skills to improve my writing so if you see any mistakes you now know why.
15. I’m a Christian.
16. I have a bad resting mean mug face, but I swear I’m mostly approachable and super nice.

20. I hate working out, but I’m really trying to change that.
