Name: Christopher Michael Tamasi

Hometown: Canton, MA

Class Year: 2015

Dorm: Morris Pratt

High School: Xaverian Brothers High School

Major: English

Favorite Class: Reading Poetry

Ideal Date: Nothing fancy. Nice conversation. Ditch the bill. Then, possibly hike “The Notch” to watch the sunset.

Spirit Animal: Hawk. I have always felt a spiritual connection with them.

If You Could Visit Any Country in the World, Where Would You Go: I would love to travel to Australia. One day I will get there and it will be epic.

If You Could Have One Super Power What Would it Be: I would love to have the power to open any book, place it on top of my head, and immediately absorb all of its content. I’d be the smartest intellectual with an incredible amount of free time.

Dream Job: Something that blends the sports, communication, and business worlds.

Favorite TV Show/Movie: Family Guy and Good Will Hunting

Relationship Status: Single. Very single.

Extracurriculars: Football, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Athletic Team Engagement Leadership Program, Tour Guide, piano, and writing poetry.

Craziest Thing You’ve Ever Done:  This one time, I went skydiving with this really sketchy company. When I jumped, my instructor immediately says, “Shit”. The guy had one job and he screwed it up. Definitely a Hampshire grad. As the ground rapidly approached, it became clear that without a parachute there was no way I’d live to tell my story. Fortunately, at the last second, a flying hippo graciously swooped us up and saved our lives. He smiled and said, “…and they said hippos couldn’t fly”. I fell off the hippo’s back in pure shock, falling into an alligator ridden swamp. I wrestled all 22 alligators until I safely made it to shore. I walked all the way home in my new gator shoes.
