Oh so you sing? Do you have any more hidden talents? Well, my hidden talent used to be dancing, but I guess the secret is out after Kappa Karaoke.
How did you get to be such a good dancer? I used to take tap and hip-hop classes when I was younger. I also watch an excessive amount of Chris Brown music videos.
And did this determine which group you were put in for Phi Delt’s dance? Yeah, definitely. Especially because I was in the Chris Brown group.
What is your favorite thing about Wash U so far? Seeing Ross Chuckerman in a Speedo… Twice.
Something you miss most about being home? My mom’s sweet potato pie.
You can only eat one food for the rest of your life… What is it? …My mom’s sweet potato pie…
Favorite TV show? It’s a tie between Game of Thrones and Gossip Girl.
Great call, I love Gossip Girl. If you were an animal what would you be? Definitely a panther.
And how are you dealing with your newfound fame as a dancer? Please send this question to my publicist… He’ll take care of it.
