Name: Craig Packnick
Year: 2017
Major: Finance
Hometown: Shelton, CT
Height: 6’ 4”
Describe yourself in 3 words: Athletic, Personable, Easygoing
Favorite movie: Anchorman, the movies kind of a big deal.
Favorite band/musician: I’m a closet Coldplay fan
Guilty pleasure: Everything Jimmy Fallon
Celebrity crush: Kate Upton, I mean, come on…
If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, it would be: fresh from the microwave nachos with salsa and sour cream
Turn ons: If they’re a cute girl with a 10 personality and a body that says, “I go to the gym every so often,” I’m happy. Some deeper stuff would be sharing in my Christian faith, being empathetic, and being self-motivated.
Turn offs: Fakeness and gossip drive me crazy. Some girls are caught up in the social whirlwind of keeping a solid Facebook/Instagram profile when there’s life happening and good conversation in front of them that they’re missing out on.
Biggest fear: Rejection
Number one on your bucket list right now: Be the next Campus Cutie.
Who would you want to play you in a movie about your life?: Me, it’d be the role I was born to play.
Favorite pre-split One Direction member?: Justin Timberlake
Cheese or chocolate: cheese, always cheese
Hobbies: Playing pickup basketball, watching Fallon/SNL, being a member of Alpha Kappa Lambda, leading a weekly Bible Study, attempting to play guitar, drinking w/ friends (could mean anything), and procrastinating.
Ideal Friday night: There’s no exams next week, we have a party or event lined up, pregame before hand with fun group of girls and guys, rap “Only” by Nicki Minaj, go to party and make people laugh.
Your involvement at UConn: Philanthropy Chair for Alpha Kappa Lambda, Greek Intervarsity Apprenticeship Program, Finance Society, ServeUp New Orleans, Spikeball Club, Fitness Friends, Intramural Basketball, Volleyball, and Football.
Best way to your heart: Just be yourself, friendly, fun, and easy to talk with.
Something people would be surprised to know about you: I just can’t get into country music. It’s too damn corny. When I hear an artist sing “honky tonk” a part of me dies on the inside.
Favorite thing about UConn: That National Championship last year tho.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years? Wherever God takes me.
