Jimmy isn’t short, he is fun-sized! This cutie wants to take his girlfriend to Paris (how sweet!) and claims that big things do come in small packages!

HC: With that being said, who’s your “dream girl”?
JM: Mila Kunis.

What is your biggest fear? Clowns! I can’t take scary looking clowns, they freak me out too much.

If you could travel any where in the world, where would it be and why? That’s really difficult to say. I’d go anywhere with a lot of rich history — Russia, Japan, the U.K., places in Europe. Why? Because it’s be awesome!

Astrological Sign: Virgo
Height: 6’5″

You can’t miss Danny when he walks into the room. One, because of his height, and two, because of his charming British accent. See what he has to say about what kind of girl will get his attention and why being bigger is always better.

HC: What are your hobbies and interests?

DM: On the tennis court, at the IHOB with the lads, or at Nana Funks on a Saturday night without fail!

Personality-wise she needs to have a good sense of humor and be able to give and take banter light-heartedly and not take things too seriously. Being chilled out is a key characteristic. 

HC: What’s the best way for a girl to get your attention?
DM: Either give me a cheeky little smile or just come and say hi and have a laugh with me. 

HC: This week, we have a campus cutie who’s 5’6 and you, who is 6’5…is bigger always better?

Major: Accounting??
Hometown: Cincinnati, Ohio
Relationship status: Single??
Height: 5’6″

What food could you eat for the rest of your life? Hands down, it’s skyline chili. It’s what I miss most about not living in Ohio anymore.
 
What’s the first thing you notice about a girl? It differs each time. It just depends on the girl, obviously. 
 
What’s one date idea for college students in Williamsburg? College Creek, or more commonly known as Jamestown Beach, is a hot spot for couples. If you’re of appropriate age, your beverage of choice can set the mood of the date along the coast of the James River.

Favorite color: Yellow.

What are you looking forward to most this summer? Going to Scotland and traveling across Europe. I’ll be studying abroad for the business honors program.

Name one thing that most people don’t expect from you when they see you: That I have four tattoos. People always say “I didn’t expect you to be the kind of person to have tattoos,” and I always say ‘I’m not sure if that’s meant to be a compliment or an insult.’

What are your tattoos of?  Lightning bolt on my upper inner right arm, goalie hockey stick on the left in the same place, outline of the world map on my left front facing hip, and a shark jaw on my right elbow.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years? Hopefully working for a professional hockey team, but other than that I don’t really have any plans for my future. 

Who do you look up to most?  My parents, because they both did what they wanted to do despite what their parents said, they’re both very outspoken and good role models. They’re my two best friends, but they’re still good parents.

Team Gale or Team Peeta: Team Peeta.

Harry Potter or the Hunger Games: Both, but I’m still on the high of The Hunger Games so that’s still clouding my judgement, but I’m sure if you ask my opinion in a few months it’ll be Harry Potter. The Hunger Games is a close second.

What’s your best feature? My sparkling green eyes and my height.
