Name: D. Albè Bogetti Pérez Year: 2020 Major: College Scholar, Spanish, French Hometown: Westley, CA Campus Activities: For the most part I work on my writing; I mix in some photography and cinematography. I read a lot. I also plan events for Entrepreneurship at Cornell, I am an RA and I am a photographer for the Sibley MAE School, and I write for kitsch magazine. But really what I do is sit in Temple of Zeus and drink oat milk cappuccinos from my tazita and pretend that I'm working on something so that I can do what I really want, which is to spend the whole day talking to people. If you were president, what Presidential Alert would you send the entire United States?: Probably something like « Attention : the United States have been cancelled because I don't believe in the concept of countries, especially not the concept of this country, P.S.

Em, sometimes I say random things like « 7 » or « this is just like the Blizzard of '83 » or « I can't go back to jail! », which isn't necessarily a talent, but feels useless enough to go in this field (P.S. I've never been in jail (it's a Monsters University quote, idk man)). Blurb: I, like, do things sometimes? Also I think thoughts and say words, and exist, apparently. I really enjoy life (most of the time), and I try to find something positive about everything, because this is the only way to be happy in a humanised world that tends towards erasure. I can't carry a thought through just one language anymore, which makes life slightly more difficult and much more exciting. I think a lot about the commercialisation of bodies and minds by the capitalist world we live in, and I think maybe the way to counteract it is by treating all other beings — and myself — with as much compassion as is possible. We'll see. O.K., I've hit my word quota for the day. Ciao (the pretence of using
