about me

My name is Evelyn Zheng and I was born and raised in Fresh Meadows. I am the middle child of my family with an older sister and younger brother. Within my family, I am known as the laziest yet most ambitious one. I am Chinese American with my mom being from Guangdong and my dad being from Shenyang! Currently, I study biological sciences at CMU as a first-year on the premedical path. Before coming to college, I found myself in communities surrounding my hobbies. I joined my high school's competitive dance team in sophomore year and participated in other performances such as flow, which consisted of glow stick tricking. I am drawn to groups that are chaotic, easygoing, tightly knit, and passionate. My friend groups were usually very close and rarely had conflict. I love small get togethers with new people and having meals the most when I hangout. I would consider myself to be introverted, laid back, and someone who enjoys the company of others even when doing absolutely nothing. I am almost always willing to go out spontaneously, especially if it allows me to procrastinate or get an escape. My spontaneity can sometimes lead to bad decisions, but I still try to be responsible regardless. In my down time, my favorite activities to do are to explore new neighborhoods and wander in random stores, looking at random objects and items I don't particularly need or seek out. When I am stressed, walking in parks and just being around nature once in a while is most calming. I also enjoy binge watching new shows and am always open to suggestions! Going into college, I wanted to find people that I can have fun with but also people that I can learn from as I go through my adult years and figure out my long term interests, which I hope to be able to do with KPL.
