Any ladies still looking for a formal date? Christian Jaekle is your man. He’s fun, outgoing and not to mention single. The senior entrepreneurship major has started his own blog (christianjaekle.com) to share his experiences as each week he does something new to put him out of his comfort zone. Last week, Christian bartered students for goods in exchange for a ride in a wagon (his swag-wagon). “A random art student bartered a freshly smelted ring, a project from his metal-working class, for a ride to the art building… Currently saving it for the right gal,” he wrote on his blog.
That ring could be yours, ladies! Read on to learn more about this adventurous stud.
