Meet our Campus Cutie of the week – Mike Boyd! He’s a lifeguard who loves to work out and is striving to be a successful CEO one day. Want to win him over ladies? You just have to have a good sense of humor and be respectful so he can take you home to meet his mother, (how sweet!) Also girls, he is single AND LOOKING FOR SOMEBODY! Get excited. After this interview at Einstein’s, I could not be more thrilled to share with you all this week’s Campus Cutie.

HC ISU: What’s a girl trend you hate or don’t understand?
