Meet Colin O’Neill, CSOM ’14!

If you have ever walked around campus with this week’s Campus Cutie, you know that he is certainly popular among the students here at BC! His amazing smile, ability to make anyone laugh and genuinely kind nature makes Colin a treasure on this campus. Describing Colin as hyper-involved is an understatement by all accounts, but he still finds time to obsess over Harry Potter, sing, and spend time with friends. Colin is always giving of his whole self to others, and in this way is a true member of the BC community!

Top Song on your playlist: I Choose You by Sara Bareilles

Most embarrassing moment at BC: Freshman year in O’Neill library (my namesake, of course), I was listening to a cover of a Katy Perry song.  I was getting up to leave and I pulled my headphones out and it blasted through the silent walls of the library.  That was the day I lost my dignity in O’Neill.

One thing you are excited about for senior year: I am excited to spend time with the Walsh staff (and playing on our awesome volleyball team) and to sing for Chorale.  I am also excited to see how my four years will come to a close, and to witness the culmination of all of the work I have put in during my time here at BC.

A date you never want to go on: If the guy didn’t have a healthy appetite (I like to eat…sue me). 

Ideal guy: When it’s a rainy day, we can stay inside, read and watch a movie together and not have to say anything, because being with each other is enough.  He has to make me laugh and smile.  I need someone who will take a chance with me, and who can sit down and have the most amazing conversation with me.  I need someone who can cuddle…I’m a big cuddler.  I also love a guy with a great smile and great eyes.

Quote I live by: “Even after all this time, the sun never says to the Earth, ‘you owe me.’ Look at what happens with a love like that, it lights the whole sky.”
