Q: What is your major and what would you like to do with it?
A: I was an English major during my freshman year. Now I’m a health and exercise science
major, and I’m thinking about going into physical therapy, or maybe guidance counseling. I’m
trying to weigh my options at this point.
Q: What made you decide on your major? Did anyone inspire you?
A: With the English major, I was inspired by my high school English teacher. She made
reading and writing so interesting to me. As far as the health and exercise science major is
concerned, I developed an interest in it from different documentaries and from different exercise
enthusiasts, like Dean Karnazes and Lance Armstrong.
Q: What do you like to do for fun around campus?
A: I have the most fun when I’m just with my friends at the Student Center or walking around
campus. I’m not really picky over what I do. How much fun I have relies more on who I’m with.
I’m also into parkour training, and I like going to the gym whenever I have time.
Q: Are you single? What would be your ideal first date?
A: Currently, I’m in a full time, committed relationship with my education. Intimately, though, I’m
single, and I’ve been single for a while. For my ideal first date, I would like to go hiking. I’m up
for anything new and exciting.
Q: Is there anything a person you’re interested in can do that would make a date perfect in your eyes?
A: All I ask is for one thing—don’t try to be perfect. Don’t try to be someone you’re not. I’m a very imperfect person, and I try to utilize those imperfections as best as I can. Someone who is comfortable with who they are and everything they have to offer is far sexier than someone who acts like they’re above any and all imperfections.
Q: What qualities do you look for in a partner?
A: It’s somewhat clichéd, but I look for someone’s personality, first and foremost. If a girl can make me laugh, I’ll enjoy being around her. However, I will say that I’m a sucker for beautiful eyes and a great smile. I’m looking for the girl-next-door type, I suppose.
Q: What is your favorite hot spot to party and get together with friends?
A: I’m not that into parties. I’m actually a pretty big homebody, to be honest. I’m content with just being with my friends at the mall, the movies, or at dinner.
Q: Favorite pick-up line?
A: I don’t really use pick-up lines. They’re pretty cheesy. My goal going into a conversation with a girl isn’t to pick them up. I make general conversation, and if there’s a spark, I keep the conversation going. Using pick-up lines would just make me look desperate, I think.
Q: Random fun fact about yourself?
A: I’m a former marching band nerd. Some people might be turned off by that kind of thing, but I embrace my inner geek. Normalcy’s not really my style, anyway.
Q: Any plans for post-graduation?
A: Ideally, I’d like to do some traveling. Lately I’ve been so dissatisfied with the way my life’s been going, and I feel like I’m doing things to satisfy other people. After I finish my undergraduate studies, I want to step away from my education and get out of New Jersey for a bit. I need to see what the world has to offer me.
Q: Lastly, what’s that new flick out in theaters that you’re dying to see?
A: I want to see The Ides of March. I’m not really ‘dying’ to see it, but it looks interesting. Plus, George Clooney always puts out good movies, so I know that I’ll at least take something away from watching it.
