"Hi there!! I’m Shahraz Sardar-Christian but I also go by Raja - you can call me either one! I joined PSP during the Fall Quarter of 2021. I’m a Political Science and English double major! PSP is filled with kind, knowledgeable, and welcoming people - all from a wide range of majors and studies. Despite our differences, PSP allows us to connect, as a group, on a deeper and more meaningful level. So far, all my memories here have been filled with joy, fraternity, and fun. 
​
More than anything, I love to read (whether it be poetry, novels, comics or manga - I love it all). I have so many books (most of which I’ve read) but I still continue to buy more! I’m convinced reading books and buying books are two different hobbies. On top of reading, I also love to write - I’ve written a couple of short stories and have tons of poems. I have two cute kittens. One is a calico (she’s a little over a year old) and the other one is cute grey kitten (about 9 months old). Some of my other interests are playing the guitar, skateboarding (I’ve been skating since I was about nine or ten years old), traveling/going on little excursions, painting (although I’m not good at it at all haha), and listening to music (I love classical music - Brahms, Chopin, Mozart, Stravinsky - grunge, punk, shoegaze, among many other genres). As an individual I value science, logic, and reason when it comes to better understanding my place in the world - however, I’m also a firm believer in embracing your emotions as well!!"
