Sarauniya “ Sara ” Davies, 24, pansexual, cisfemale, ISFP Enneagram 9w1; Pisces sun, Sagittarius moon, Pisces rising 1st year Advanced Encryption Major; did not go to a spy prep hs
Imma keep it real with you, chief, I have absolutely no idea what’s going on. I mean, obviously, I know what espionage is ; I’ve read books and articles, and I’ve seen Spy Kids and all the Charlies Angels and James Bond movies, but I genuinely think I need a minute to wrap my head around everything. Make that two weeks, because what’s this I hear about two murders ?  I literally just got sent here to be safe, I — I’m sorry, I’m freaking out. Give me five seconds, and we can start again, because I promise I can totally pretend this is all normal. @gallagherintro​
Tumblr media
full name: sarauniya “ sara ” davies
dormitory room: 105
birthday: 20 march 1995
soundtrack: “ go gina ” by sza

aesthetic:  when i see them walking around in the halls, i usually see a flash of light reflecting from her earrings, eyeglasses perched on top of her head, and a caviar iphone always in her hands
Bio Points
her mom’s a nigerian baddie billionaire & her dad’s a soft academic brit
she grew up between london and abuja where their family’s business is based. it’s a trading enterprise, the largest industrial conglomerate in sub-saharan africa
she’s the eldest of three siblings, was raised to be prim & proper and groomed to run their family’s business. her family’s not pushy though and they’re really cool. very healthy dynamic so she doesn’t mind ; she loves her fam and would do it w a smile !
Coding is her Passion though. total dork. stayed up all the time just sleuthing and being an internet geek since she was a youngin’
loves education and is the type who would willingly stay in school to learn. has a degree in economics from harvard and was almost done with her mba when her littlest sister got abducted !  was it about business ? money ? who knows ! the sister’s fine now but her family sure is Scared especially since sara’s alone in the big bad united states
her mom made some calls and went “ gimbiya, look, u aint safe n we sorry. we’ll work something out to make sure u get ur mba degree somehow but shit is wild so we gotta get u somewhere near that’s safe asap. u like studying & ur a geek with computers right ? cool beans, go back to school & welcome to gallagher, babe ”
she enters gallagher in the middle of the spring semester very overwhelmed & inwardly ignoring how unhappy she is about having to be here bc she is not & does not want to be a spy. she just tryna distract herself by looking at this entire thing as a weird vacation where she can do stuff she wasn’t able to before because it’s literally detached from the world. she is mostly probably in way over her head, but let’s see ! 
Other Information
Nicknames: Sara (to everyone), gimbiya (to family, means princess in Hausa)
Languages: English (native), Hausa (native), Arabic (C1), French (B2)
Strengths: is money a strength ? also coding. and being the sweetest. and a general smartypants but that’s in a university setting & gallagher probably doesnt give a fuck

( well,,, 2 if a three-second drunken kiss w kass counts ) his name’s royce and they’ve known each other since their bougie secondary school back in britain. started dating at sixteen and went to harvard together. they’re long term as fuck. he’s like her best friend and their families adore the couple & each other. got engaged last september and sara broke it off before leaving for gallagher, oof. she deadass milked the opportunity but lbr she wasnt rlly Feeling It so she’s kinda glad for the ‘valid reason’ to appear bc it rlly wasn’t Love for sara so boy bye

Personality
the sweetest. v charming & sensitive to others & curious about things. enthusiastic too ! loves adventures & is very passionate. queen of empathy. 
she’s not stuck up even tho she loaded. she doesnt rlly talk abt her family having 12B or the fact that she’s an ivy league girl, bc she’s just generally very uwu 
easily stressed and flustered and overwhelmed ! man, gallagher’s gonna shook this goddamn academic dork to her core for the love of god someone pls get the aed ready
rlly fun !!! can be a lil unpredictable bc it b lyk dat for rich girls. loves her independence which she hasn’t maximized bc of her ex fiancé & responsibilities but it’s chill so chill totally chill, no ounce of further longing exists in the crevices of this girl’s heart
she is so not good with confrontation and is so allergic to conflict ok. she will sweep discomfort under a rug and lie on it ‘til it’s flat which makes her a queen of repression & conforming
is she easily overwhelmed & stressed ? yes, but she’ll try not to show it so much. it’s all mostly an internal monologue so don’t underestimate her pls. she’s v smart and competent. can be so competitive ( albeit mostly inwardly ) and a boss ass business bitch like her business momma bc that’s what she’s been training for altho she is still generally a soft bab so ... yeah, if u would be so kind as to Estimate her, that’d be grand
she needs to always be on top of her game. maybe not the best in the class, but definitely pushes herself to be her best, so a lot of late nights studying & won’t settle for bad grades ever. gonna be rough in gallagher bc she is not spy material ok, she’s just a pretty rich geek behind a computer
just imagine her as the nice girl in ur ap classes who’s a lil awkward & just so happens to be super hot & stinking rich
Fun Facts
has a six-month old rescue pup named sooty ! who kinda looks like a sheparnese
has a tendency to ramble if she’s comfy w u enough or mayhaps if it’s too much man 
is v diligent w keeping a journal & does it everyday 
likes to dance ! not super good but she likes it. hits da clubs for dat shit 
is a lil instagram famous bc she’s a gorgeous rich harvard girl & all that jazz. queen of selfies & of looking hot but doesn’t actually get to play around rip ffff 
doesn’t drink much bc she is an extreme lightweight and 2 is her tap out limit
if she’s had more than 2 drinks, she is Very Honest but still very ramble-y 
she is physically active but mostly just runs and does yoga. knows very basic self-defense. is not sporty, definitely not a fighter, may god have mercy on her soul
isnt a virgin but is not sexually experienced lmao lbr she kinda Itching to get out there 
don’t ask me what her accent is because i have no clue it’s all over the place
Established Connections — just bc i think y’all would like to know
kassandra sutton — internet friends ! loves kass to bits. have known each other since sara was 14. when kass was 18, sara took her on a grad trip to montreal and became a lil lowkey into her. doesn’t help that kass drunk kissed her & doesn’t remember lmfao. poor sara told her then-bf & they had a lil fight but they made up bc sara didn’t talk to kass for months. eventually they became friends again & now sara’s in gallagher w no idea that kass is a mf sutton & honestly, my girl is just very shook w everything 
Possible Connections
crushes — she does not know how to flirt. she is ,,,, p pathetic tbh but a real heckin cutie. will be super nice to ur bab ok  
flirtationships — sara and i r gonna continue to keep it real w u chieves, her ex fiancé royce was vanilla and bland as fuck. can u believe she has not been single in a decade ? ? someone give her love & attention & fluster this soft innocent child. get her Experienced but also dont hurt her
enemies/angst !!! —  or maybe do ! maybe hurt her. maybe obliterate her. maybe smash her poor heart to pieces, because tbh i would love that.  so someone pls for the love all things holy and divine, someone hurt her !!!!
fwb — probably just one (1) bc she’s still a romantic ? and she’s probably gonna want something exclusive even if it’s no strings attached and will surely want to ,.,. get to know them a little bit more first ,,, at least ideally , idk , maybe impulse & thirst gets the better of her one of these days who knows lets find out !
friends !!! — sara will love u ok. she may be a lil easily flustered but she’s doesn’t rlly give up on ppl quickly. as i’ve said, queen of empathy. probs feels v sorry for majority of the gallagher & georgetown kids bc, .,.,., this environment just screams highkey Trauma to her and she’s valid bc she’s right
mentors !!! — she hates feeling dumb ok she Always has to be on top of her game, so u can bet ur ass after her first meetings in her classes she goes to ppl going “ hey could u help me out w working out ? boxing ? firing a gun ? literally everything & anything ? ”   
anything & everything — meaning just come @ me & let’s talk about it uwu 
( did i just create georgina’s antithesis ? fuck yes, and i am sooo excited to have a child that’s not always plotting & scheming & being mean like y’all have no idea ;_; nywy, that was long bc shutting up and brevity are things i do not possess. whats up it’s ur og flower garden girl rose here aka bugleweed aka fiancée of many and lover of all, and i am open to anything and everything ! just drop an IM or hit dat like & ill slide in ur dmz w love, plots & sanitized hands x )

here's a little embarassing thing about me: i am! so! obsessed! with! my! gadgets! remember how i keep on telling you i've been really busy with my preps for CETs and how my parents imposed strict curfews and schedules to maximize the little time i have to study? yep, that's not exactly how it's been working out with my life right now. i do study but i occasionally check on my phone, respond on messages on tumblr, tweet things, watch 2 or 3 unrelated youtube videos after finishing like 3 or 4 academic ones and many many more! this is why as most of you might have noticed, despite being "busy," i still regularly respond to your messages, check on my tag, reblog your stuff, despite running a queue. it's equally embarassing as it is horrifying. and i feel terrible about it. although i must admit that i've had a pretty legitimate and respectable outcomes, at the end of the day, i know i can do better. and guess who's the culprit who keeps on distracting me? yep, that's right: my one and only treasured possesion- my cellphone. two, three, or four years ago, my mother began noticing this quite destructive addiction of mine. she will often times call me out, saying things like: "hey, you should spend more time with your family." or "i will definitely confiscate your phone if you still act like this in a week." and of course i was threatened as heck because i dont want to lose my cellphone. so, i will pretend i don't use it in the morning but later that night, when im all alone in my room, you will see my hiding under my blankets laughing all by myself because of dank memes™ or googling cute dog pictures. being the 'milennial' and 'god they're just being lame because they're obviously not from my generation' am, i did not know then the extent of my obsession. not until recently! there is nothing wrong with using technology or gadgets. if anything, they help us become more productive and practically make our lives way, way easier! however, like what they all say, a little much of something is not a good thing! and the same goes with my so-called gadget addiction. while scrolling through my feed one time, i stumbled upon this article written by emma on messyheads entitled "cant call, im in cuba" published two months ago. and i was frankly baffled. she opened her article with a scientific study concluding that an average person spends right about 300 times a day checking on their phone. yep, you got that right: 300 freaking times of checking on my emails, my twitter, tumblr, responding to messages, et. and while that figure might seem surprising to you. i've read another article stating that an average person spends right about 5 hours per day just doing their thing on their mobile! yep, that's right five freaking hours of looking on that lil bright screen! and just like what emma said on her article, there's way too many things that you could do on the span of just endlessly scrolling through your dash like finishing an entire course for my CETs preps/reviews, cooking 10 different dishes, working on my painting, working on my embroidery skills, finishing a harry potter book, etc! and you know what this literally made me realize? technology defeated the purpose of helping me become productive because instead, i end up being even more unproductive. and did achieve anything from all the things that i've been? absolutely nothing. the even funnier part is: i have absolutely no idea what i do with those five freaking hours! i mean, time flies so fast when you're enjoying something, that's true but i dont even know if im exactly enjoying what im doing because if anything, it only makes me feel even more guilty and terrible about it! i already have no idea where this text post is going but i guess while writing this i was able to realize a couple of things: my patience significantly declines and i tend to appreciate little things less once get too caught up with my phone. 1. patience: the thing about me is i am an incredibly, commendably patient person. i wait for my turn and i believe in its power and value that is fundamental in becoming an ethical person. however although this is very embarrasing to admit, i have realized that using my phone massively declined my patience. how did i know? well, it took me an entire day to write this post because when im done with like a sentence or two, i tend to get distracted with my notifications and wander off of my notepad and start interacting with people. i know there is nothing wrong with that because the world practically revolves around the internet right now. but unfortunately, when i became addicted with my mobile, i am no longer just using it because i have something important to accomplish; rather it became an itch that needs to be scratched and i use it just because i want to instead. 2. appreciation: this is quite frankly probably the saddest part about my cellphone addiction. you know how much i love the little things about people and the world, right? yep. however, due to this addiction, i tend to focus more on my cellphone screen and not the beautiful things around me. i mean, sure you can google #goals stuff or see even more aesthetic things on tumblr, but i think there is still nothing more beautiful than having the chance to see something magical first hand! furthermore, when im out with my family for dinner, i have realized an even more heartbreaking thing: we no longer converse the way we used to! because instead of communicating or asking for menu first, we ask for for the wifi password and live our social media life instead. i mean, sure we still talk but im not that stupid to not realize that it's not like it used to be when my brother and i were 11 or 10. it's an ugly realization that i hope would eventually change. i have nothing against the usage of social media as a platform to express yourself or to get friends from all over the world. i believe, as a matter of fact, that it is one of the most revolutionary things that this planet was able to create and i frankly believe that it will be for a long, long time. however, i think it is also still very important to shut out of it once in a while, give yourself a break, a breather, and just enjoy your life the way our ancestors or grandparents would even without the internet. try turning off your gadgets once in a while and i promise you will see a significant difference and feel more comfortable with your own skin! because although it feels good to live a life that's filled with so many notifications, attention, and validation from all over the world, it feels even better to just have a little space outside the boundary with fresh air, lots of trees, and flowers, where you could be yourself.

The university of essays for 2016
'Its fin whollyy hither. The famed Admissions Hero dissection of the infamous University of simoleons supple custodyt. These strains ar annually nonorious for their nastyy and peculiarity. Our precise stimulate Vinay Bhaskara (U cabbage 17) offers his scoop up advice for tackling these school principals in this all-around(prenominal) post.\n\nQuestion 1:\n\nHow does the University of kale, as you whop it now, satisfy your appetite for a particular proposition kind of encyclopedism, community, and upcoming(a)? Please breed with few extraordinary(predicate)ity your aver wishes and how they relate to UChicago.\n\nThis is, for the astir(predicate) part, a unc come inh blot whitherfore give instruction X look for, and our analysis of it is largely tied to that principle. The Why school beat X demonstrate is what we analogous to name a check-the-box show. It broadly accommodate for non pulsate you into a school unless your act is incredibly go od, precisely a under the weather written or mediocre Why School X hear may lay aside you come on. The underlying to this type of turn up is to avoid platitudes, much(prenominal) as the campus is beautiful, or the assimilators soak up a tight buckle community. Whenever possible, you compulsion to reach to factors that argon specialized and unique to the University of Chicago. Creating an thorough advert of such factors would wait several(prenominal) thousand course of typography; however, the prospective(a) ar a a couple of(prenominal) classifiable factors gleaned from my time (admittedly brief) at the university. We would caution readers that in that location be fix more(prenominal) factors than ar presented on this carg mavinn, and that research (at least an time of day or so) would do hygienic towards conclusion the specifics most sufficient for each appliers profile. We would likewise warn readers that unless they excogitation on mete r reading through cardinal old age worth of Scav lists, name-dropping Scav exit likely wound you.\n\nThe University of Chicago is a bastion of deliver market economical science (at least coitus to peer institutions) and is notable diachronicly for ho employment Milton Friedman and Gary Becker, amongst other laureates of the Chicago School of economic science\nThe University of Chicago has a thriving governmental activism scene, that governmental debate at the university is unusually knock off around the convey of Politics, headed by indemnity-making savant David Axelrod\nThe W present period of trifle Goes to Die dictum has more or less verity to it, simply it real should be translated as If you enjoy accomplishment and/or running(a) hard, U Chicago is the place for you. If you burn set around looseness with schoolmanians, UChicago is an above intermediate place\nThe learning community at UChicago has an unusual trance with Durkheim\nTheoretica l noesis is prized over practical knowledge, though as with all generalizations ab stunned UChicago, this effect has dull somewhat in recent categorys\nIf you like to / atomic number 18 good at writing, the Core entrust be a happy / no-hit place for you.\n scotch deflation is fierce, but the ethos of actually earning an A or B is recognize if you wad pop off the tenor and wad with occasional to a fault-ran\nThese are average a snippet, and surrounded by the internet, conversations with actual UChicago students, and fifty-fifty published materials, you apprise learn furthest more.\n\nQuestion 2 (Optional):\n\nShare with us a few of your best- whapd books, poems, authors, burgeon forths, plays, pieces of euphony, histrions, performers, paintings, creative persons, blogs, magazines, or newspapers. Feel superfluous to touch on single, some, or all of the categories listed, or attention deficit dis collection a category of your witness.\n\nanother(prenominal) figure the box examination, but here the delineate is to avoid plentiful the admissions counselors what they want to see. acquire some scene of your personality, or the organizing al-Qaida of your activity, and generate lists of items in those spheres.\n\nFor example, I chose to list out my favourite(a) airlines, airports, aircraft, aircraft programs, and other aviation-related items (see my narration if its ill-defined why).\n\nAnd dont be terror-s frauden to share some silly (non-academic or non-erudite) items, especially if they tramp be juxtaposed against a consequence tooth root to stand by balance out your personality. For example, I could prevail opted to list my favorite romantic comedies as a dilettante of such films (Number 1 is It Could Happen to You for those kindle in rom-coms). fag outt faint-hearted a agency from some amour like that.\n\nEXTENDED wadvas (REQUIRED; CHOOSE ONE)\n\n1) Whats so amvictimization near remarkable numbers?\n\n-Insp ired by Mario Rosasco, fork of 2009\n\nThis displace offers a immobile platform for controverting challenges in terms of ostracization or exclusion from monastic order or until now school. Topics such as bullying, struggles with sexual orientation, or racial indistinguishability could all be contractd by using the word unmated as a basis to research them, though choosing a light affair (such as the time you couldnt go on a field of honor slip up because of a depressed leg unless written in a clearly sarcastic manner) would likely not be as impactful.\n\nAnother natural selection is to use this set off as a base to research a cult for data analysis, math, numbers, or thus far patterns. For example, a particularly arouse approach to this endeavor could be to muse on your love for math in carve ups with the prison term lengths of the Fibonacci sequence. Basically, you would hold open carve ups in the quest manner, each talk ofing a portion of why you love math, describing your experiences with math, or exploring how math guides your future plans. The first paragraph would be a blank seat (0), two peerless metre paragraphs (1,1), unrivaled two sentence paragraph (2), a 3 sentence paragraph (3), a five sentence paragraph (5), an octad sentence paragraph (8), and so forth. The text edition would just be presented as if it were normal, but at the finale you could point out the pattern as well. Regardless of how you do it, use this establish as an extract to explore a genuine low density in whatever pattern or odd thing you choose.\n\n2) In French, thither is no departure between sense of right and wrong and consciousness. In Japanese, there is a word that specifically refers to the splittable wooden chopsticks you tick at restaurants. The German word fremdschämen encapsulates the feeling you get when youre embarrassed on behalf of individual else. All of these require explanation in order to in good order communicate t heir marrow, and are, to alter degrees, untranslatable. Choose a word, tell us what it means, and accordingly apologise why it cannot (or should not) be translated from its original language. \n\n-Inspired by Emily Driscoll, an entranceway student in the Class of 2018\n\nThis command act offers a strong fortune to explore a deep touch or fervent hobby, and in trustworthy cases, stock-still lends itself to a bit of an academic and reflective t star. The constitute is to pull out a word, phrase, or even earpiece that is unique to that field and use it as a illustration for your smell, or to embodiment a meshing of analogies to your life.\n\nFor example, a unstainedly trained Indian singer energy pretend the traditional Carnatic notes of Sa-Re-Ga-Ma-Pa- might plead against translation into the bar western unisonal theater notes A, B, C, D, E, F, G (these are not the repoint comparison s I am aware, but I am not a musician by training) because the Carnatic ones necessitate the weight of Indias hi tommyrot of exertion and a true deliverdom from Western control. This lends itself to rich and knock-down(a) academic writing, but the real trick will be to tie the prove back to yourself, by chance by discussing how Carnatic music get outs your Indian root to resonate in a way that playing a song with Indian influences on the genus Viola simply would not. You could besides argue the conference and claim that intermingle Western and Carnatic music (by giving more Westerners the ability to play Carnatic music) would help in the process of pagan assimilation, and on a personal level, allow you to convey the meaning that your Indian heritage holds. Likely, you have your own interesting pagan idiosyncrasy; this is the establish to explore it.\n\n3) flyspeck pigs, french hens, a family of bears. Blind mice, musketeers, the Fates. drift of an atom, laws of me ntation, a signpost for composition. Omne trium perfectum? Create your own group of 3s, and take in why and how they hit together.\n\n-Inspired by Zilin Cui, an incoming student in the Class of 2018\n\n sequence it may be tempting to choose something with the preface Three, as hinted at in the prompt, a more palatable survival might be to separate your personality/life into tierce distinct parts. each part would demonstrate a incompatible facet of you, and tie them together would allow you to create a distinctive, yet sympathetic personality. While the trio items can be unique, one or several paragraphs should be devoted to explaining and exploring the interconnectivity. If your lotion has a common theme, hooking three items within that theme would add to the transition of the judge.\n\nFor example, my group of three would be Boeing house in Seattle, capital of the United Kingdom city Airport, and Hyderabad Airport.

The broader synthesis is that I was perfervid near aviation, which took up the sight of my time. In the akin manner that coronation bankers operate, I am rigorous and data-driven and play to gain economic principles to make day-after-day decisions. And when I limber up (whether through film or sport), I head in the complete icy direction towards as bitty mentation as possible, which is back up by the pleasant-tasting inanity of Telugu film. Constructing an stress around these parameters would be the goal.\n\n4) Were pH an nerve of personality, what would be your pH and why? (Feel free to respond acidly! Do not be neutral, for that is base!)\n\n-Inspired by Joshua Harris, Class of 2016\n\n formerly again this demonstrate offers an hazard to explore ones personality, and a pompous approach would place psyche who is mellow strung and working well with stress (such as yours truly) at the top of the list with a juicy pH of 1 or 2 (remember that pH is an backward scale), while placing someone unflappable at a pH of 12 or 13.

Harper tenderness asks this fountainhead for us: Why are you here and not somewhere else?

In particular, this shew lends itself extremely well to various academic treatments. Those who are scientifically oriented could discuss the nature of return (and the unresolved question of dark matter) or the physics of intercourse (speech which enables human party to be here), while affable sciences-oriented students could r eference classical thinkers to build a case to function the questions. While unremarkably focusing whole on academic, or even prohibitionist content is a significant danger, the University of Chicago has a goodish respect for theoretic learning.

If your prompt is original and thoughtful, then you should have petty trouble writing a bully essay.
