Describe your ideal date?  
DB:  I’m a beach guy.  I would love to go down to the beach and get a little dinner.  You know, kick off the flip-flops and just walk with my girl…  maybe run across some sea turtles giving birth, a couple whales jumping, and then pitch a tent on the sand and just call it a night. 
ML:  I would go to dinner somewhere like Jake’s downtown, then we would go to a sporting event.
SE:  Go to dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings.  Then we would go do something cute.  Maybe something like laser tag.  And then I would drive her home, and give her a little kiss… but that’s it.

ML:  I used a cookie cake and rose pedals to ask a girl to prom… in the rain.

Are you the jealous type? 
DB:  Yeah, yeah I do get jealous. 
ML:  I can be jealous; it just depends on the situation.
SE:  Not jealous… I just care.
 
How do you cope with heartbreak? 
DB:  Oh no, don’t do it to me.  I guess, just a lot of tears.  And you know I enjoy food anyway, so lots of food.  I’d get a big ol’ bowl of chili con queso, mix a few tears in there… and just cry and eat.  I’d eat it with a spoon, don’t even need chips.
ML:  I just kind of try and move on.  I talk to my roommates, or talk to a close friend so I can try and move on.  We have to get over it some time right?
SE:  McDonalds and friends.

Hailing from eastern Washington, Julia attends the University of Portland in Oregon, as a Communication Studies major with an emphasis on Journalism. As a magazine and book junkie, Julia reads everything (and anything) she can get her hands on, especially those passionate on young adult culture and entertainment. A woman that gets stir-crazy easily, Julia has been fortunate to have traveled many summers in a row to foreign countries, including a study abroad course in Austria, Germany, and Great Britain. Since a ripe age, she has grown and cultivated her passion and dream of working for a magazine and spreading awareness as well as happiness through the tips of her fingers. Always finding time for herself, Julia can frequently be found quoting movie lines (most frequently Will Ferrell or Vince Vaughn), having a 90's dance party with her roommates, or rereading "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" for the 40th time.
