Lai Larissa

Hello! I'm Larissa Lai and I am a second-year undergraduate student pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology at the University of Hong Kong. If I have to describe myself in three words it would be creative, honest, and adventurous. I enjoy listening to music, singing, and song-write in my leisure time where I like to explore a range of various music genres including Soul, indie, R&B and more. Hence, I’ll be more than happy to share my song recommendations from a plethora of my spotify playlists. My current favourite artists would be Daniel Ceaear, Ariana Grande, and Malcom Todd. Moreover, I’m also considered as a film geek as I find the romanticism of life through a cinematic lens fascinating and inspiring, such films that have left an especially profound impression on me includes La la Land, and Inception. Additionally, my recent TV show watches consists of Dubai Bling, Gilmore Girls, and Singles Inferno.

Things want to achieve by joining the programmeThrough this programme, I hope to train my social skills in sharpening my social adaptability, and to broaden my social network in HKU. As often times delving into topics of interests casually on campus could be challenging given the academic setting and scenarios, hence I believe this programme’s flexible platform can encourage inclusive conversations and meaningful exchanges with peers, without the underlying pressures of strictly adhering to academic discourses.
