HUMANITIES HOUSE SPOTLIGHT | Angelina Delgado

Q: What do you think makes Utah/Salt Lake City so unique?
A: I think that the thing that makes SLC so unique is that it has the elements of a big metropolitan area, such as New York City, but the community is strong here, and almost everyone here is so sociable and kind.

Q: What is a pleasant surprise you discovered while living in the Humanities House?
A: The community here is great! Everyone in this house is so cool and getting to know my fellow housemates has been incredible.

Q: What would you say is the biggest advantage to living in the Humanities House (perhaps compared to other on-campus housing)?
A: How homey it feels. I haven't felt homesick at all because of how the vibes of the house feel so cozy.

Q: Why did you apply to live in the Humanities House? (If you didn’t apply directly, are you glad you ended up here?)
A: I applied because I believe that I need to really connect with the Humanities college, and this includes the housing.

Q: What are most people’s first impressions of you? Are they right, or does it take a little more time to know you better?
A: A lot of people assume that I can be very trusting, which is true. I am very nonjudgemental and open minded, since I am a very sociable person.

Q: If you had all the time and money to pursue another major or area of study in addition to what you are already studying, what would you choose and why?
A: I would choose evolutionary biology for sure. There isn't anything necessarily stopping me now, but I wish I could comfortably pursue this subject. Additionally, I am not great at science, so if I was able to understand this interesting subject even more, learning about it could be so cool.

Q: What is the most fun thing you’ve done as part of the Humanities House so far?
A: I think all of our movie nights are so much fun! We all get to show one another our favorite movies and shows, and it helps us all connect so much more.

Q: Quick! A witch is going to turn you into an animal for a year and you have 30 seconds to decide which animal. What would you pick and why?
A: Definitely a Galapagos tortoise. They just live so peacefully, and who wouldn't want to be a giant tortoise?

Q: Who is your greatest role model, and how have they influenced you to get where you are now in life?
A: My greatest role models are probably two of my teachers from high school. They both influenced my way of thinking so much when interacting with my education and peers, so I admire them both entirely for how I think now.

Q: What is your favorite place on campus? What about it makes it special to you?
A: If I didn't have to choose my housing, I think it would have to be the Marriott Library. It helps me focus on my studying so much more than anywhere else on campus.

Q: What Humanities House amenity are you most grateful for or find most useful? (Kitchen, library, dining room, in-house laundry, TV room, etc.)
A: I think the couches are honestly the best. They are all so incredibly comfortable to use when lounging around.

Q: If you had the chance to talk to your future self from the day after graduation, what would you hope to hear from them? What are you doing now in your life to make what your future self would say come true?
A: I would hope to hear that they didn't struggle too hard with their extensive programming, and they are fully ready for law school. I hope despite my workload, I won't feel burnt out.

Q: Anything else you'd like to share about your experience?
A: Only that I love that I committed to the U!
