   I am currently in medical school, but in my heart, I\\\\\\\'m still an English major giggle-snorting about Shakespearean dirty jokes. I\\\\\\\'m an avid reader still, but both time constraints and evolving taste have made me more selective. My favorite book in the whole world features a white ninja stealing things in 1885 in London and I\\\\\\\'m still trying to come to terms with the fact that my taste is Exactly That Bad. (The cover\\\\\\\'s got Fabio striding through the wilderness looking like he\\\\\\\'s running for president, but I\\\\\\\'m 100% cool with that.)

I\\\\\\\'m also a caffeine addict with liberal political leanings and a decidedly feminist bent. I also like to bake things--cakes, cookies, cupcakes, and the occasional brownie. I baked salted caramel Nutella blondies other day, though! Aside from a making push-pin mural of Edvard Munch\\\\\\\'s The Scream during college, those blondies are my greatest accomplishment yet. I have deplorable taste in music but excellent taste in audiobook narrators. I\\\\\\\'m also really bad at watching horror movies but I make up for that cowardice by being really good at riding roller coasters. 

I am a practicing Muslim. I did go to Islamic school for thirteen years and grew up literally next door to a masjid. I try to pray on time, make time to read at least a little Quran every day, and spend a lot of time thinking about what it means to be Muslim in this cultural milieu. I don\\\\\\\'t smoke or drink (my drug of choice is books, tbh), and the only party you\\\\\\\'ll ever find me at is one my mother has dragged me to.
