What are you really passionate about? Any hobbies?
I love to play sports; anything from basketball to skateboarding is on my list. I also like to play cards, board games and anything that involves competition.

I love the beach and everything about the beach. The sting rays that haunt the ocean floor are fascinating. If you say surfing anywhere near me, then you just started up a long conversation about shredding some gnarly surf.

What qualities do you look for in a girl?
Confidence
Intelligence
A sense of adventure
A sense of humor (duh)

Do you have any deal-breakers regarding relationships? What would make you automatically not want to date a girl?
Clinginess (we all know about this one)
Jealousy
A lack of self-confidence
Smoker
Says “like” more than once per sentence

What do you think is your most attractive attribute?
I love this question because it is so easy. The hair flip definitely, it works.

Patrick transferred from USC

Do you know what you want to do after graduating from UNC?
I will be taking a year off from school before heading to medical school. The tentative plan is to teach English in East Asia and apply to med school either in New York City or Southern California.

His sense of adventure and passion make Patrick this week’s Campus Cutie!  Look for him around campus and you might even catch a hair flip!
