Each week, The Cavalier Daily asks a student 25 questions and allows him or her to eliminate five of them. This week's interviewee is Ifechi Moma, a second-year pre-med student from "out on the Island," Huntington, New York.
Q: Who is the most important person in the world to you?
A: My mom. She's my backbone, my support.
Q: What's the point of decaf coffee?
A: Some people like the taste, which I think is nasty. I guess you can wean yourself off caffeine drinking it.
Q: If you could still drop one of your classes this semester, what would it be?
A: AAS [African-American Studies] 101. There's too much reading -- it's ridiculous.
Q: Did you own a Trapper Keeper in elementary school?
A: No, they were too big and ugly.
Q: On a scale from 1 to 10, how happy are you about Tech's loss to Miami over the weekend?
A: Wow, I didn't even know that they lost. Can I say 10 now that I know?
Q: Do you plan on having a quarter-life crisis?
A: I think I have crises every other day. That's what life at U.Va. does to me.
Q: How many parking tickets have you gotten in Charlottesville?
A: I don't have a car, but if I did I'm sure I'd get them all the time.
Q: What is the most endearing state?
A: I want to say Utah, though I'm not really sure that anyone lives there.
Q: What superhero strength would you most want?
A: Invisibility. I'm really nosey, and I could be even more nosey then.
Q: I give you a light bulb, a puppy, and a surfboard. What do you do?
A: I try to sail the puppy to Mexico because I don't like dogs. I give him the light bulb to light his way.
Q: What food do you refuse to try?
A: Sushi. My friends have given up asking.
Q: Most money you've ever spent in a day?
A: Every time I have to pay for tuition, handing that check over is painful.
Q: Is Bodo's stealing business from Little John's and Take-it-Away?
A: Yeah, because Bodo's is great.
Q: When was the last time you raked leaves?
A: I don't do chores.
Q: If you could be the leader of any country, what would it be?
A: I'd say Nigeria because my parents are there. The government is very corrupt there right now.
Q: How many basketball games do you plan to attend this year?
A: Probably around 75 percent. I'll go no matter what team we have or how bad they might be.
Q: What is a movie you always pretend you've seen but are too ashamed to admit that you haven't?
A: "Bambi."
Q: Favorite Jolly Rancher flavor?
A: Sour apple.
Q: In six words, what's your conception of God?
A: Where would I be without Him?
Q: How many times did you hit the snooze button this morning?
A: Maybe about four or five times before I got up. It's the same thing every morning, but my roommate does it too.
The Verdict: FINALLY, someone as alone as me in not seeing "Bambi."
