If you find yourself weak in the knees, it’s probable because Brandon O’Dell is this week’s Campus Cutie! O’Dell is a freshman Psychology major who dreams big and works hard. This hopeless romantic will melt anyone’s heart with his irresistible charm and appreciation for what he calls a “classic date.”
Year: Freshman
Age: 18
Major: Psychology
Hometown: Vernon, NJ
Why Did You Choose TCNJ?: It was really the perfect fit for me. It’s a great distance from home, has great academic programs and has such a diverse group of people — It was really a no-brainer.
Activities: TCNJ Ambassadors, acting, reading and singing.
Favorite Place on Campus: Library/Library Cafe
Favorite Band/Musician: Joshua Radin
Future Plans: Graduate with a degree in psychology or communications and hopefully move to California one day to get involved in the film industry. I would love to become a manager or something else of that nature.
Best Advice You’ve Received: You can do whatever you want. You need to dream big, and then make those dreams reality. Nothing worth having ever comes easy, so you need to figure out what you want and work hard to get it.
Your Dream Date: Something romantic and cliche, I’m definitely a hopeless romantic. I like the idea of a classic dinner date and then a long walk (ideally on a beach). I don’t like dates that involve too much activity; I just want to relax and get to know you better.
Describe Yourself In One Word: Jeez, one all-encompassing word for my entire personality… I’d have to say bighearted.
