Since this is the last Campus Cutie of the year, we knew we had to go out with a bang and give the title to a well deserved candidate.  Jackson Murphy, a sophomore, is definitely well deserving.  The student who nominated Jackson praised him for his good looks and said, “He is kind of quiet which makes him cool and mysterious”.  I couldn’t ignore that nomination so I caught up with this Mystery Man (who lives in the best dorm on campus) to see what he had to say.

Hometown: Sharon, MA
Major: History
Dorm: Harkness

If you were stranded on a desert island, what are three items you couldn’t live without?
My fishing rod, my baseball glove, and sunscreen, because I burn easily.

What’s your favorite meal at Chez Harris?
Chicken parm sandwich special in the deli line at lunch.

Who is your dream date and what would you do on the dream date?
My dream date would be with Emma Watson and we would play laser tag.

If you could have one superpower or talent, what would that be?
Magic.

Would you rather win a Grammy, an Oscar, or the Nobel Peace Prize, and why?
Probably a Nobel Peace Prize. It seems like something good to put on a resume.

Han Solo. He has a sweet ride and gets to hang out with Chewbacca all day.

Most embarrassing moment?
I tripped over an extension cord in front of my English class in high school.

Tina Fey because she is hilarious and an amazing writer.
