Her adorable smile

That silky dark blue shirt (top?) with white polka dots.

Marla
From: Beachwood, OhioÂ
School: SEAS ’13, Applied Math/Pre-Med
Â
What are the three qualities you like most about Jeremiah?
Hmm… if I had to choose three, I’d go with his kindness, his sense of humor, and his honesty. His love of dogs doesn’t hurt either ;)
Â
What’s your favorite activity to do with Jeremiah?
I really like when we explore New York activities together. Going to museums (we love The Met), plays, restaurants etc. with him make for really fun, interesting dates.
Â
Favorite item in Jeremiah’s wardrobe?
My favorite item in his wardrobe is anything I can wear!! (Just kidding…kind of.) I think he looks great in everything, but my favorite (for him to wear) is probably his Columbia-blue button down shirt. It’s cute and clean-cut.
Â
Describe you and Jeremiah’s first date?
Our first date was dinner at Thai Market, and neither one of us knew it was a date. Turns out, we both love pad thai, so that (and of course the actual date) worked out really well.
Â
What’s the best memory you have had with Jeremiah?Â
This is a tough one; I think we have a ton of great memories together! One fun one that comes to mind is going apple-picking last October. We spent all day somewhere in NY State picking apples and getting the great sense of Fall I remember from home.Â
