    Kona Dias is a second year student at KCC who is studying to major in either Politics, Economics, or Astronomy. Those subjects fascinate him the most.

Dias has no plans of going Black Friday shopping because he is not a "materialistic type of person." Instead, Dias plans to study hard to raise his grades and prepare for the upcoming finals.
