Johnny spent the first eighteen years of his life being his own favorite person. That finally changed during the fall of his freshman year at Northwestern, when he met a beautiful, funny, vivacious girl named Beverly Cheng. She took a while to warm up to him, but Johnny's persistence eventually won her over. Read all about Johnny's fun-loving sweetie below, and be sure to check her website for daily doses of her procrastination-fueled thoughts!

| Beverly on love: | ||
I have an idealized vision of romance, tempered with some reality. I go forth being very optimistic, thinking that two people who are in love should be able to work anything out -- differences in religion, political viewpoints, and/or distance. I think it is a mortal sin to give up something that could be great and take the "easy way out," but that's my outlook for almost all things in life. I also think that fate plays a big part in romance -- you need to have enough fate between two people for them to stay together forever. I also think that although you can have lots of fun on boisterous dates, you get to know a person through little moments. When I look back on my relationships, the moments I treasure most took place during mundane times. |
||
| She is proud of: | ||
| The way my life has worked out thus far. It may seem like it all just fell in my lap, but I worked hard for it. | ||
| Embarassing incidents: | ||
| Uh ... you can email me to ask me that. None of them are publishable. | ||
| She tries to find meaning in life by: | ||
| Working hard and writing journal entries to find out what I really think. I also think that the purpose of life is to leave behind an awesome next generation. |
