How would you describe your perfect date?
The perfect date for me is dinner at home and a movie. I do not really know how to cook, but I would love to learn romantically with someone else.
If you could go anywhere where would you go and why?
If I could go anywhere I would go to San Francisco or Los Angeles. I have always wanted to live on the west coast after being on the east coast for so long. Also the weather seems beautiful. Some people say the people on the west coast are annoying. I am from New York, so I can deal with the people. The constant sunniness is just such an attraction for me.
What is your favorite food from Harris?
I love, love, love spicy foods. So I am going to have to go with anything I can successfully put Sri-racha on. I also love making this hummus concoction I came up with: Hummus, Sri-racha, red pepper flakes, and oregano. Mix it up, dip some vegetables or chicken in that bad boy, and you are going to love your taste buds.
Who is your celebrity crush?
I would have to say Chris Evans. Hands down, tied, and game over. Take me away…
If you won the lottery, what would you do with the money?
My goal in life is to be successful, settle down, and raise two kids. If I won the lottery I would already have the first goal down. I would probably buy an apartment in New York City, adopt two kids and live life growing with them.
What was it like to be part of the 100 Men Rise: Why Are Vaginas Important to you?
Alia offered us positions to be in the video, and I eagerly accepted. None of us knew what the other guys were going to say, and no one knew what the question was going to be before filming. It was a purely raw experience where I got to be caught off guard, and speak about what I truly thought about vaginas. They are very important to me, and I meant every word I said. It was a breathtaking experience that I will never forget.
Your best memory at Conn so far?
This is a tough one. I have three best friends here, and I have put everything I am into those friendships. My best memory is going to have to be sitting in the darkness of temple green after science leaders orientation with Gabriela Silva, and Alex Coffin. We poured our hearts out to each other. From that day I knew I could change into something new, and amazing. We will forever be best friends.
What are you thinking of dressing up as for Halloween?
This is a really funny question because I always plan to be something and it drastically changes. As of now I might be Thing 1, but with a twist.
In the spirit of Halloween: Hershey or Skittles?
I love candy, period. My mom deprived me of it as a child. Please, if you see me give me both, and I will love you.
Halloween, Christmas or Thanksgiving?
Thanksgiving is a time when I get to do the second thing I love most behind shopping, and that is eat until I die. Thanksgiving and the leftovers will always have a special place in my heart.
Guilty pleasure:
No one really knows this about me, but I love to play video games. I am not like super thrilled to announce it, but I have always played something.
Favorite movie:
The Fifth Element is my favorite movie. I remember eating Bo-jangles and watching it with the babysitter when I was a kid. From then on I loved it. Its something about the magic of the movie, and the end almost always makes me cry.
Favorite hobbies:
I spend most of my free time being social. Hanging out, long lunches, and dinners in Harris or Smith. As of late, a lot of extracirriculars have taken the place of a lot of my hobbies.
Favorite place to shop:
H&M, OH MY GOD I LOVE THAT PLACE WITH MY BLOOD AND SOUL. Whatever they make there I will wear. It is so convenient and their clothes are always stylish. Here is a secret from me to you: most of my outfits have at least one piece from there.
What was your initial reaction when you found out that you were cutie of the week?
Most of the time I am with Ariana. We were together and I had read my offer to be campus cutie. She flipped out. Like out of this world jumping up and down. I was excited because I try to keep myself off the radar and stay humble. It is encouraging to think people respect that but still appreciate me. Of course however, I am honored.

Pet names – cute or annoying? Depends. The “boogie-woogie-shnookum” stuff, no. It has to be classy. Like in Casa Blanca he calls the girl “sport.” Babe is good too.
Romantic or thriller movie when you take a girl out on a date: I would much rather have a RomCom. I can try to act manly but I hate scary movies.

Name: Avi Sachs
School: William & Mary
Year: 2016
Major: Either Chemistry or Biology
Hometown: Annandale, Virginia
Music Style: A lot of things, a huge fan of hip hop. Which is ironic since I’m a white guy from the burbs. Alternative rock. Electronic and classical too, but mostly the first two.
Favorite Movies: A lot of cerebral movies and heist movies: Snatch and Black Swan are two good examples.
Greatest accomplishment: I’ve gotten two summer internships at the National Cancer Institute. It’s one of the most important things I’ve done. Other than that, I’m an Eagle Scout. That’s kinda chill.
Where can you be found on a typical weekend? Hanging out in Barrett, going out with friends, hanging out on campus with a smile on my face. Hanging out at swem..rarely.
Describe your typical day at W&M: Wake up, go to my 9ams, work hard through classes (or at least attempt to), play Fifa with friends, go to swem and get work done, then go home and watch movies or tv. I also spend a lot of time in my research lab for bio.
Have any pets? Nope. My mom is terrified of animals. I used to have a lot of goldfish.
Favorite Holiday: Big fan of Passover. Passover is pretty chill. Thanksgiving too, lot’s of food and family.
Play any instruments? I do, actually. I played piano for 10 years and also trumpet. I picked up ukulele. And I also fiddle around with guitar. Ukulele and piano are my top two
Play any sports? I was a track runner in high school.
Ideal Girl
Hair color: Brunette, definitely.
Tall or short: Not too tall, maybe a bit shorter than me
Nice eyes or nice smile: Eyes are a huge kicker for me. I like big, brown eyes
Girl in sweats or in a dress: Ooohh, that’s a tough question. Obviously dress but there’s a certain appeal to a girl in sweats. But I’ll go with dress, the classier side of it.
Worst thing a girl can wear: I’m really not into Goth. It’s a tough one for me to figure out. But respect to those people. Anything studded….too edgy for me.
Best thing a girl can wear: Hipster kind of girls.
What do you prefer, a girl who plays an instrument or a sport? Definitely instrument. Music speaks to the soul, it says something.
Least favorite thing about girls at W&M: They walk around in these little clusters, and it’s very intimidating.
First thing you notice about a girl: Eyes.
Night in or night out: Night out, most def.
If you could have any super power, what would it be? It would be cool to turn into any animal. Pretty useful one I would say.
Ideal first date: I like going out an seeing things. Maybe going to the zoo or art museum, and then lunch at a cafe. Definitely not a movie, that’s such a cop out.
Random hookups or meaningful relationship: Meaningful relationship. That’s what every guy really wants…or else you’re not a real man.
Most annoying phrases girls say: It’s not really phrases, but the constant abbreviations of stuff. Things like “obvi” or “adorbs.” Adorbs is the worst.
Favorite thing about William & Mary: It’s a really beautiful, rustic campus. I’m not really down with the whole southern university, but W&M isn’t like that.
Pet names – cute or annoying: No good.
How do you feel about PDA? Uhh, I don’t know. People can kind of do what they want. It’s way worse in high school when it’s physically blocking your movement. If you want to express yourself and you’re in love or think you’re in love, I won’t stop you. Personally, I’d opt for a more private option.
Romantic or thriller movie when you take a girl out on a date: No doubt, thriller. I hate rom-coms, I can’t do them. I’ll tolerate a rom com if i have to, but if I’m choosing it’ll be a thriller.
Girliest movie you’ve ever watched: The one girly movie I’ve ever watched is Mean Girls. And that was back when Lindsay Lohan was hot.
If you had one last day to live, what would you do? I definitely want to see the bottom of the ocean. I wanna know what’s going on down there! That could end really horribly though.
If you could add an event to the triathlon, what would it be? Stealing a petrie dish from the ISC.
If a girl makes the first move, do you like it or not? Oh, absolutely! It makes my job a lot easier. Like I said earlier, I’m not super reserved but I’m also not in your face.
What song would you sing when serenading a girl? Either More Than Words – Extreme or Mack the Knife – Bobby Darin
(The following question was thought up by Avi:)
Samurai or ninja: Definitely samurai. Ninja’s are cool but they lack honor.

Where can you be found on a typical weekend? If it’s nice out, you can find me usually doing something outdoors during the day and at the frat at night. If it’s cold you can find me watching Netflix with a hallmate or my roommate, and then most likely going out at night. But I do balance it out with nights that I have to work.
Describe your typical day at W&M: Wake up, shower, either go to breakfast and go to class or if I don’t have time I go straight to class. Then I’ll come back home after classes, usually take a nap or relax. Then I hang out with my roommate and hallmate(s), go to dinner, and then head over the unit to hang out. I go back home whenever, when I get home I hangout with my hallmates and roommate again. I usually do my work at this time as well.
Have any pets? No pets, but if I go off campus at any point I’d like a dog for the house.
Favorite Holiday: Thanksgiving

Ideal Girl
In general, what are the attributes you look for in a girl?
I really like a girl who appreciates sports and who takes care of her body, not necessarily in an obsessive manner, but a girl that enjoys going to the gym and would open to going with me. A girl that knows how to be goofy when it’s time to be goofy and serious when it’s time to be serious. Most of all, though, she has to be really nice and really fun. I’m not a boring person – I like to go out and do stuff and have fun. And in terms of being nice, she has to just be a good person – loyal, honest, trustworthy, and very open to talking about things that matter.”
Hair color: No preference
Tall or short: Rather tall than short, but I don’t mind short.
Nice eyes or nice smile: Nice smile
Girl in sweats or in a dress: A dress
Worst thing a girl can wear? Too much makeup
Best thing a girl can wear? A dress
What do you prefer, a girl who plays an instrument or a sport? Sport
Least favorite thing about girls at W&M? Most girls don’t have a proper balance of fun/relaxation and work. If a girl always wants to go out, where’s the time to relax and do work and do well in school? Likewise, if a girl always wants to work, where’s the time to have fun? You have to have a proper balance and many girls don’t have that here. It’s usually either one of the extremes.
First thing you notice about a girl? Her smile
Night in or night out? Night out
If you could have any super power, what would it be? Flight
Random hookups or meaningful relationship? Meaningful relationship, but if a hookup leads to a relationship then I guess there’s that.
Most annoying phrases girls say? I’m fine.
Favorite thing about William & Mary: How down to earth people are.
Pet names – cute or annoying? One is fine, but too many just gets annoying.
How do you feel about PDA? Holding hands is cool; a peck is fine; you know, small stuff like that is okay. But if it’s something you wouldn’t do in front of your mom don’t do in front of others.
