Lawrence Chan, aka Laser, is a sophomore at C r e i g h t o n U n i v e r s i t y majoring in Pharmacy. He is from Honolulu, HI where everything is paradise but the most interesting place he’s visited is Hong Kong. Lawrence is involved in the Pharmacy Club and enjoys talking to the homeless people that chill at the Burger King by his house and fixing up Japanese Domestic cars. He once swapped an engine for his car on a busy street. The one extraordinary thing Lawrence can do is move his pectorals and his triceps.
Lawrence enjoys is any music that sounds pleasing to his ears, but the sound he loves to hear is 8 bit music. An example is the original Super Mario Brothers sound track. He has the most fun going out with his girlfriend. His favorite childhood memory is beating up his neighbors because their
mom would steal his Legos. If Lawrence could be any animal, he would like to be a salamander. His most embarrassing moment was when he did not know how to say, “I want to use the bathroom” in elementary so he always peed in the plastic play house castle that was inside the classroom and the teacher would yell at him in front of the other students. Lawrence’s least favorite word is “Your momma,” and it annoys him when people chew with their mouths open.
The most exciting thing that has happened to Lawrence at Creighton is the fast internet connection and the great cable TV available. He enjoys SSS because of the computer lab and the sense of familiarity he receives from the staff members. At Creighton, Lawrence’s favorite professor is Dr. Hause because he has the
answers to life’s most puzzling questions.
