Luiza Borges luuizaborges is a junior majoring in International Studies and Economics !💫

Q: What emojis would describe your experience at the U? 
A: ☀️🌺🌈🌊☀️🏝

Q: Best lecture you've ever had at the University of Miami? 
A: It was an INS class called International Political Economy. 📚It allowed me to understand how economics and politics influence one another on the international level.

Q: Can you think of a movie/series/work of art that is anything close to your college experience? 
A: The book 📖 Americanah by chimamanda_adichie , which follows a Nigerian woman who comes to the US to go to college and the positive aspects, like all the people 👭that you meet, the cultures 🌎you are exposed to, and the new things you learn about yourself and the world when you live in a different country.

Q: Any specific moment that you remember made you choose your major? 
A: Once I started taking Politics classes in high school. 🎓I only decided to add Economics as a second major in college, because after taking some Econ classes, I realized it would help me to better understand the world and the different policies I was interested in. 

Q: What's an assumption people have about your major? And what's the actual truth? 
A: That we all want to become diplomats… there is actually a number of other careers people are more interested in. 📝As for Economics, I think a lot of people think Econ majors are greedy or selfish - which is also not true! There are also a number 💯of careers we could go into and it doesn’t necessarily have to involve finance or even the corporate world.
