Name: Landon
Major: Biology
Year: Senior
Hometown: Plano, Texas
Celebrity Crush: Kiera Knightly
Her Campus Texas: What shows are you currently binge watching?
Landon Baker: Modern Family, my favorite character is Phil because he is who I want to be when I’m a dad. He’s super goofy and fun-loving.
HCTX: What’s your favorite TV show?
LB: Definitely Friends, How I Met Your Mother, Scrubs, The Office… there’s so many more…
HCTX: Where is your favorite study spot?
LB: The SAC, alon
g with the alumni center – it’s one of the very few spots that you can get chips and queso.
HCTX: Wait… you can get chips and queso at the alumni center?
LB: Yeah you can get them at “Texas Expresso”. The queso is on point, but the chips are a little salty. On a scale of 1-10, (10 being the best chips and queso ever) I would say a solid 7.
HCTX: Best place to grab a cup of coffee?
LB: If you consider ambiance, environment and atmosphere I would say Mozarts; especially in October. The weather is super nice. My drink of choice is currently black coffee – it’s pretty good actually.
HCTX: When you were litte, what did you want to be when you grew up?
LB: I wanted to be Tiger Woods. I had a phase when I wanted to be different athletes… I also wanted to be Woody from Toy Story.
HCTX: Has that changed now that you’re in college?
LB: Now I’m looking at going into HealthCare IT. I was Pre-Med basically from 7th grade and took my MCAT already, but I started questioning and evaluating why I really wanted to go into medicine and if I wanted to go to school for another seven years. So I started looking at seminary, but I was still interested in healthcare. I found out UT has a program for healthcare IT, which allows me to interact with people but still stay in the healthcare field – which is the best of both
worlds for me.
HCTX: First thing you notice about a girl?
LB: Her intelligence and sense of humor – especially if she’s witty, I dig witty comebacks and a girl who can have fun.
