I think one of my favorite movies will always be &#8220;The Nightmare Before Christmas<em>.&#8221;\u00a0<\/em>It was always the best thing ever. I have just seen &#8220;Interstellar&#8221;<em>\u00a0<\/em>not too long ago and it blew my mind. I am trying to get other people to watch it so I can talk about it with them. I love musicals so I watch &#8220;Sweeney Todd&#8221; all the time. I like dark, Tim Burton-type movies.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-45641 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_7558-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Off the Mic Rhajae Battles\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_7558-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_7558-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_7558-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_7558-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_7558.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>EF: Okay, I got you. So how did you hear about KJHK?<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>RB:<\/strong> My friend Tania was a part of it and I randomly ran into her on the streets. Somehow, we started talking about KJHK and she is like, &#8220;You should apply!&#8221; and I was like, &#8220;I should!&#8221; so I did.<br \/>\n<strong>EF: <\/strong>So what was it that made you decide to join? Was it just her influence?<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>RB:<\/strong> My freshman year, I decided not to do anything because I just wanted to live the college life. All my life, I have been doing all these activities and scholarship things so I am just like, &#8220;I am chilling my freshman year.&#8221; I did not do anything at all and so I decided to get involved on campus my sophomore year. KJHK seemed really up my alley because I like editing and software content is for me so it matched. And it looks good on a resume.<\/p>\n<p><strong>EF: Yeah, for sure. What kinds of things have you learned about yourself from being on KJ&#8217;s staff?<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>RB:<\/strong> I have learned that I actually do not procrastinate too much. I thought that I was a procrastinator but\u00a0not\u00a0when it comes to things that are within the Film department. Because I want to do it, I will do it on time and in a good manner.<\/p>\n<p><strong>EF: Yeah, I have definitely realized that about myself as well. If it is something I do not want to do, then I will procrastinate and put it off. But if it is something I am interested in then I am more likely to get it done sooner and put more effort into it. I am a Film major too so I am the same way with editing or something I like doing. That is cool. What is your favorite memory at KJ so far?<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>RB:<\/strong> Most of the stuff I do is solo so it is not really a part of a group. I do like in the beginning of the meetings when Mason [Kilpatrick]\u00a0asks ridiculous questions. You get to hear everybody&#8217;s answers. I like that; it is fun.<\/p>\n<p><strong>EF: That is what Pit said too. That seems to be a crowd favorite. This is kind of the same question but what is your favorite part about being on Content Staff?<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>RB:<\/strong> I get to produce something that other people hear. Our Content Directo told us\u00a0we won the regional award for our website and, I mean, I produce content for the website so that makes me happy.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-45642 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_7586-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Off the Mic Rhajae Battles\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_7586-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_7586-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_7586-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_7586-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_7586.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>EF: Yeah, there you go. That is awesome. Is there anything that you have struggled with about yourself before joining KJHK that you now do not struggle with?<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>RB: <\/strong>I did not know whether or not I was actually going to be equipped enough with the editing software\u00a0to be able to produce good content or content that is what I thought was good. Our Mason\u00a0usually loves all my stuff and it makes me feel good about myself. I am pretty confident now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>EF: I think we all struggle with confidence sometimes but that is so good to hear. I am happy for you. Describe your taste in music. Who are some of your favorite artists?<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>RB:<\/strong> Beyonce is number one right now with her drop of &#8220;Lemonade.&#8221; That was great. I listen to a lot of Pop and Hip-Hop music. J. Cole is one of my favorite rappers and Chance the Rapper will forever and always be at the top of my list. \u00a0I am probably going to be going to the Drake and Future concert.<br \/>\n<strong>EF:<\/strong> Oh, nice. That is in July, right?<br \/>\n<strong>RB:<\/strong> Yeah, July 23rd.<\/p>\n<p><strong>EF: That will be sweet. Okay, describe yourself in three words. This is the last question so make it count.<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>RB:<\/strong> I would say quirky. Oh my God. I do not know enough words. Creative and adventurous, I guess.<br \/>\n<strong>EF:<\/strong> Okay, that works.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Off the Mic Name: Rhajae Battles KJHK Contribution: Content Staff Year in School: Sophomore Major: Film &amp; Media Studies Minor: Spanish Favorite Color: Fuchsia Pink Hobbies: Drawing, Playing piano and violin Favorite TV Show: Once Upon A Time Ellie Fehlig: I am going to create a new question since you are majoring in Film\u00a0too.
