Mentor Interview

I interviewed Lily Goldberg, a sophomore Politics Society and Law scholar, and we discovered that we have a lot in common. We are both Jewish, so she introduced me to a paid fellowship program run by the Jewish organization Hillel and helped me apply. Additionally, Lily and I share a love for good food, which is why we both run Instagram accounts centered around the display of food. While one of my favorite restaurants in Columbus is Lemongrass Fusion Bistro, Lily’s unwavering favorite is Northstar because of the different food options available. Since Lily and I were raised states apart, we have a different idea of how some dishes should be prepared. Although, we can both agree that we love a nice pasta dish. Lily’s favorite foods include pizza, pasta, and any other carbohydrates for that matter. When Lily is not studying, spending time with friends, or trying new foods, she can usually be found watching Dance Moms or The Office in her dorm room. If she is in a sporty mood, however, Lily will turn on ESPN to watch professional women’s tennis, specifically rooting on Serena Williams. When Lily is not watching television, she will relax and listen to her favorite music- ’80s pop- on Spotify. Although, she listens to an array of different artists, ranging from Miley Cyrus to Lady Gaga. Once Lily moves out of the dorms, she hopes to adopt a mini Golden Doodle. Lily and I plan to spend more time together throughout my first year on campus, and I cannot wait to learn more about her and for her to give me helpful advice in navigating Ohio State.
