Name: Ethan Markert
Hometown: Corpus Christi
Major/school: Finance/McCombs School of Business
Year: Junior
Guilty Pleasure: I can Netflix binge for days. Over the holidays, I watched three seasons of Grey’s Anatomy and I’m actually pretty proud of it. I think all college students should be able to appreciate this.
TV Character I wish I could date: Madison Montgomery from American Horror Story: Coven. She’s played by Emma Roberts and is basically the baddest b*tch on the show.
Song I can listen to on repeat: Drunk in Love – Beyonce. Anyone that knows me also knows that I’m unhealthily obsessed with Beyonce. Her new album is basically the reason for my life right now, and Drunk in Love is definitely my favorite song on the album!
Super power of choice: I guess flying would be pretty cool. But if we’re being completely honest, I wish I didn’t have to sleep. Think of how much more you could get done in a day!
What do I do in my spare time: My favorite thing to do with my free time is to just spend time with my friends. I love going out to new places and trying new restaurants; I’m a total foodie. I’m also really into yoga, which most people don’t know about me.
On the weekend you can be found where: On Friday and Saturday I llike to spend time with friends and go try new things during the day, but at night you can find me on Sixth. On Sunday, I usually go to a coffee shop to study.
Ideal first date: Going to a nice restaurant, and then something after, like ice skating or any setting where we can talk more and get to know each other.
Favorite restaurant in Austin: Bombay Bistro. I’m a huge fan of Indian food. I also love cupcakes, and the best ones in Austin that I’ve found so far are at Delish on 3rd Street.
Life plans/Goals: I’m currently recruiting for an internship in Private Wealth management with some banks in the Houston and Dallas area. After college, I definitely want to continue my career in Finance, and if all goes well with my internship, then I’ll end up in Private Wealth Management full-time.
