The Basics
Name: Sean Bloomstine
Hometown: Erie, PA
School/Year: A&S 2015
Major: Economics
BC Life
Activities/Clubs: My Mother’s Fleabag
Best class: I did my best in Calculus I and Calculus II. After that, it was all downhill. And boy was it a steep hill. My favorite class this semester is Introduction to Abstract Mathematic, which, ironically, I am in danger of failing. I might be a masochist. Who knows?
Worst class: My least favorite class I have taken at BC was probably Econometrics. Not that I don’t think it’s an important class. Heck, it may be the most important class I’ve taken. It just wasn’t working for me at that time in my life. But the class I’ve done the worst in is Calculus III (I told you it was a steep hill).
Bapst or O’Neill: Bapst! (Keep reading to find out why…)
Favorite place to eat on campus: Hillside – Baja Chicken with blue cheese/hot sauce dip, and a big ole cookie

Fun Facts
Biggest pet peeve: I try not to focus on the negative things that people do. I feel like life’s too short to spend time finding something that you hate about someone.
One thing most excited about for senior year: The possibility of finally getting into a class that I want to be in and at a time I want it.
Most embarrassing moment: I am going to be brutally honest here:
I was studying on the first floor of O’Neill, freshman year. I was listening to a song when I let out a bit of flatulence. I thought it was silent, but the faces around me told me otherwise. Two girls sitting nearby began to giggle uncontrollably and would not stop. I packed up my things as quickly as I could and walked out as the girls continued to laugh. As I walked by them, I said, “I’m sorry.” I haven’t studied in O’Neill since. (So naturally, Bapst now trumps O’Neill)
Fun fact: I coached a junior sailing team over the summer, and our team was voted by the rest of the sailors for best sportsmanship at our largest regatta of the year. It may not seem like that big of a deal, but it made be proud to be their coach.
Favorite movie: I HAVE TWO! Cloud Atlas and Up
Favorite TV show: TOO MANY (I’ll try to narrow it down): Saturday Night Live, Community, 30 Rock. (Also, House of Cards has been slaying it lately. How about Season 2 Episode 1? WHAT?!)
Celeb crush: Top 4:
1. Emma Watson (#1 by far)
2. Freida Pinto
3. Jennifer Lawrence
4. Emma Stone (I might just have a thing for Emmas)
Dream job: Honestly, I would love to write for a television show that is critically acclaimed. Preferably a comedy series.
Favorite BC sport: Hockey. The games have constant action, and the rink has a constant temperature. I don’t have to worry about whether I’m dressed appropriately for different weather conditions like football. Some people are into that, but not me. Just set the thermostat and start-playing Hockey; I’m good.
Favorite hangout spot on campus: When I want to be alone, I go to the second floor Bathroom in Mac or the Fulton Honors Library. When I’m with other people, I like to hang out at Lower Dining Hall. It’s fun to people-watch there.
Ideal girl: It’s pretty unoriginal: smart, sense of humor, honest, easy-going, fun, has a positive attitude, hair: it can be any color as long as it looks shiny and clean
Ideal date: Dinner and dessert. I love when I am having a great conversation and lose track of time. It can make the date feel effortless if you enjoy being around the person.
Funny date stories: I told my crush that I liked her, and I got friend zoned. HAHA! Oh wait…
Deal breakers: Unreliability (AKA being a flake). Again though, I try not to focus on the negative things about people.
Advice to freshmen: Spend more time with the people you want to be around in college. I heard this before, and for me, it makes sense: no one leaves college wishing they would have studied more and hung out with friends less. Also, please stop stressing so much, and try to have some fun.
