I’m Gina, I am returning to CSUDH after taking a break from school . My plan is to graduate within the next two years. I am a huge animal lover and have dreams of owning a pet pig, but right now I have two dogs and two cats. I am also a big fan of music and have played drums in a few garage bands for fun.
I love a variety of foods so it’s hard for me to pick a favorite. Growing up, I loved my mother’s cooking but I also loved splurging on things like pizza, charbroiled burgers and pretty much anything fried. They are comfort foods that are fast, affordable and just plain delicious. Those foods also remind me of being young and sharing a meal with friends after a night out.
Another thing I love is going to new retauraunts and trying new things. I’ve recently switched to a vegan diet and thought I wouldn’t be able to have all the food I always enjoyed. My selfie is of a few items my friends and I shared at a vegan festival. The change in diet has defiantly been an adjustment but I am having fun trying all my favorite foods in a whole new way.
“Carnitas” Burrito, Tempeh Ribs, Fried “Chicken” and Colliflower Buffalo Wings
Best of luck on the vegan effort. I too am an animal lover. I saw a bullfight during a visit to Mexico. I found it very disturbing. One day, I felt a bit of a hypocrite as I was eating a burger and decided to give up eating meat. My doctor wants me to get some animal protein so I do eat limited fish. I’ve followed this diet for well over a decade. I find many vegetarian, pescatarian, and vegan options at most restaurants. The Yard House is one of my favorites. I’ve owned a dog, fish, and parakeets. I don’t anymore because when they die my wife is just too devastated. Unfortunately, pets just don’t have a long life span. Congrats on returning to college.
