Meet Michael Mayer ’15!

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at St Olaf chapter.

Name: Michael Mayer

Year of Graduation: 2015

Major/Concentration: Biology and Environmental Studies

Relationship Status: In a healthy one

Favorite Place to Study: I like to study outside, in the Regents atrium by the greenhouse or on my bed with my lap desk.

Hobbies: I like to sing; play Frisbee (or any other excuse to be outside, really); read recreationally (this usually doesn’t happen at school though); listen to music; watch TV; play both Star Wars Battlefronts; play board games and help out at farms.

If you had to move to a different country, where would you move and why? I’d probably move to New Zealand. It’d be tough to find better scenery than that and it’s close to Australia and Southeast Asia, which are places I would love to visit.

What’s your dream job? I want to own my own farm somewhere in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, upstate New York, Washington or Oregon.  I’d like it to be as Earth-friendly as possible, so I’m really interested in ecosystem mimicry as a form of agriculture. I’d recommend checking out Restoration Agriculture by Mark Shepard if you want to learn more about it.

Favorite Movie: I’m a big fan of science fiction movies and it’s really hard to choose a favorite. Inception has a lot of good memories for me.

Last TV show you binge-watched on Netflix: The Original Twilight Zone

Favorite pick-up line: Want to watch Netflix and trade backrubs?

Favorite Animal: Otters

Describe yourself in one word: Curious

Call or text? Call

What is your ideal date? A day hike followed by some ice cream and homemade lasagna for dinner.  Then after dinner a movie with a nice wood fire in the fireplace.
