In other words, what have you learned about yourself in these past 2 years at BU?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">*Laughs* College honestly, College allows you to do things you love. Like radio. Well like play music, and I like to play music, so I found radio. And yeah that\u2019s the biggest thing I\u2019ve learned. Not every extracurricular is about building your resume, and forcing yourself to do things you don\u2019t like. You can actually do stuff you like, like radio. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>What made you want to join WTBU?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well at first I didn\u2019t even know WTBU existed. My roommate went to that newbies meeting. And She came back and she was like \u201cHey I think you\u2019d really like this club\u201d So I went and talked to the director, and interned for a show. The first show I interned for is Internet Killed the Radio Star. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>How would you describe your radio voice?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I hate my voice. I think it\u2019s a bit too high pitched, and it sounds kind of annoying. So when I\u2019m on the radio show, I keep it down low. But I don\u2019t think it\u2019s working. The radio voice I try to achieve is MELLOW. But i work on that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>What have you gained from being in WTBU?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First of all, tons of new artists and new songs, that I didn\u2019t think I would ever listen to, if I didn\u2019t have other people play it for me. Sophia [co-DJ] plays a lot of 90s rock. 90s rock wasn\u2019t a genre I listened to ever, but now she plays it on the show and I love it. It honestly brings me a lot of joy and happiness. I think about it every day. NO lie. I do. Because it is just cool to tell people you\u2019re a DJ *laughs*. It really is. Well, I love music. I listen to music every single day. Being able to share my music with other people, brings me a lot of joy. I never thought radio was ever an option for me. Being able to share music, learn more artists. Makes me happy. Plus, meeting a bunch of new people too. I know that\u2019s clich\u00e9. If it wasn\u2019t for radio, I wouldn\u2019t have met so many people. Especially Sophia, my co-DJ.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Interview by Lexi Herosian\u00a0 &nbsp; Emily Chow The Alternative Kids, Sundays 8-10am Major: International Relations Minor: History and Women Studies &nbsp; So I understand you are originally from Taiwan, but went to high school in Northern California.
