Interesting Facts/Hobbies: A little ambition in life and a lot of
cheesy jokes and puns are all it takes to win my heart over. (: My
hobbies are numerous and diverse, but most of all, I love trying new
things and meeting new people! I rarely exercise, but I do enjoy it,
whether it's attempting to do pull-ups (my record is around five!),
or dancing the cha-cha. I also enjoy a heart-warming dose of
community service followed by a dollop of miscellaneous
extracurricular activities. I take small steps, but dream big. Some
day (in the near future hopefully!), I dream of going hang gliding or
parasailing for that flying sensation.

Interesting Facts/Hobbies: My interests include thinking, learning, friends, gambling, science, exercise, sports, computers, aviation/aeronautics/astronautics, puzzles,
challenges, good conversations, movies, great food, and all of the various forms of poker (among other card games). Hiking, traveling, and simply inhabiting nature in its purest forms keeps me
sane. I plan to work towards a pilot's license, play poker semi-professionally, and find my niche doing something that both holds my attention and benefits those around me. I consider
myself an open-minded individual and if you read the quote below you'll understand why.
"Our situation on this earth seems strange. Every one of us appears here involuntarily and uninvited for a short stay, without knowing the whys and the wherefore. In our daily
lives we only feel that man is here for the sake of others, for those whom we love and for many other beings whose fate is connected with our own. I am often worried at the thought
that my life is based to such a large extent on the work of my fellow human beings and I am aware of my great indebtedness to them."
- Albert Einstein
Christie H. Park
Name: Christie H. Park
Year: 3rd
Email: chpark@uci.edu
Hometown: La Crescenta, CA (if you've never heard of it, it's near Burbank, Glendale, and Pasadena. If you've never heard of those, it's near LA.)
Major(s): Biological Sciences
Interesting Facts/Hobbies: I have a loud laugh. Some people say that it's full of life, others call it maniacal-sounding,
and my mom wants me to laugh more ladylike, but in the end, it's just the way I laugh. I tend to
have a bit of a blunt way of saying things, which has gotten me in trouble
a couple of times, but I'm genuinely working on it. I'm a bit of clutz and
have a knack for running into things that other people have no trouble
avoiding. I have even managed to walk into a fire hydrant, the couch in my
apartment, and the stove back home.
My three obsessions are Friends (the TV show), Harry Potter, and Sailor
Moon. I also like to watch Mythbusters, read, and scrapbook.
