<p>for the UCLA students…would it be possible to get a little scrambled eggs on the side? And a glass of orange juice?</p>

<p>“Describe yourself in three words: Humble, Sexy, Honest”
This is the best.</p>

<p>And I lied on my answer before. For greatest invention, I think I said “household electricity” instead of computers. =P

<p>haha scrambled eggs</p>

<p>timish412- I wrote that my role model was Tina Fey too, and I put writer for television/film as my dream job =)</p>

<p>Just to let you know, the adcom people, to whom all admits will be introduced at the Welcome new students day in the auditorium, will read some of these answers out to the audience. They choose the funniest wittiest ones. I foresee that omerzach, if you indeed put some of those answers down, will be so honored lol.</p>

<p>Looking at other people’s answers, especially omerzach’s, mine seems quite boring and dull.
Oh well, I’m rather a serious person. :)</p>

Really, though, they’re my favorite college band, even including Berkeley and their video game show.
Except I didn’t want to feel too suck up-ish.
Then I noticed that one of my words to describe myself was one of USC’s five traits/qualities of an ideal Trojan. I picked it last year in a guidance class at school, so…that was a coincidence. Hah.</p>
