DL: I see you like playing the guitar.
CR: Yeah. I plan on getting my bachelor's in music as well. It adds some motivation.
DL: How long have you been playing the guitar?
CR: I have been playing the guitar for about four or five years. I think I always wanted to play the guitar since I was a little kid. It was kind of an ambition I have always had.
DL: Are there any musicians that inspired you?
CR: I was always a big fan of the Allman Brothers Band. I am still. I have been for a really long time. They are one of my favorite bands.
DL: Did you start here at UNM?
CR: I did.
DL: Do you like it?
CR: I do for the most part. I find the access to the things you need sometimes difficult to find.
DL: Like what?
CR: Just access to the financial aid department, and then their information can be questionable at times. I always get told one thing, but then it's another. I am offered less money, or it's not available for the things it was at one point. I find that frustrating.
DL: Does that affect your education?
CR: Well, it's always workable. Not always ideal, but workable.
DL: Was UNM your first choice?
CR: Yeah. I guess because a lot of my family went to UNM. Like my mom, my cousin, my dad, my uncle all went to UNM. It's kind of always been like a family thing.
