Rushing after a three-hour night class, Jared graciously sat down with me and answered all my dire questions. I would also like to add that while some other potential cuties thought the e-mail was a joke and deleted it, Jared responded [after I confronted him] happily!
AGS: What is your full name?
JG: Jared Asher Goldman
AGS: So you’re taking a 3-hour class?
JG: Its awesome. [He’s so positive!] It’s really cool being in a more professional environment it’s with MBA students. I get to hear different perspectives.
AGS: What is your major?
JG: Business
AGS: What activities are you involved with on campus?
JG:I was on varsity swim team freshman year. It was suspended because of budget issues. Now I am on the club swim team.
AGS: I heard you like art – elaborate! [I have my insider sources]
JG: I like art. I find myself drawn to some contemporary artists like Rauschenberg, Rothko. I also went through a phase where I was really into hopper and his use of light. AGS: Where are you from?
JG: Long Island
AGS: Why is New York the best?
JG: New York is the best because you never get bored.
AGS: How would you describe your personal style?
JG: I think I wear a lot of clothing at once be cause I get cold easily. People accuse me of looking homeless sometimes. [It happens to the best of us]
AGS: Is it a burden being one of the most stylish people at Brandeis?
JG: Uh – I don’t really think about it too much. I can imagine if that is what you’re achieving it can be quite difficult when the competition is so fierce.
AGS: On a day off you could find me…
JG: Doing nothing. [So humble!! By doing nothing, he meant curing world hunger and ending global warming]
AGS: What is your favorite activity at Brandeis?
JG: At Brandeis? My favorite activity is on Friday nights getting dinner with my friends and just deciding on what to do from there on. I am very happy when its 3 o’clock on a Friday and I’m like oh we’ll all get dinner tonight. Going into Boston is good too.
AGS: Where do you see yourself in ten years?
JG: Hopefully employed living in the city. Hopefully I have a dog.
AGS: You like animals?
JG: Yeah. I used to want to be a vet. I worked all summer at a vet hospital. It turns out I don’t like science. [I used to want to be a vet also, but it turned out I don’t really like animals].
AGS: What’s on your favorite playlist right now?
JG: My favorite playlist – what am I listening to? Now that I got spotify it changed my life I listen to so much music a day. (Takes out I -phone) I guess beachhouse. Salem, lcd sound system, local natives– it changes by the day. It’s usually how I procrastinate from doing work.
AGS: What can a girl do to get your attention?
JG: Uhhm – just be like really relaxed – don’t try to draw too much attention to yourself. I’m not into girls who act super ditsy. I find it kind of high schoolish.
AGS: If you could only eat one food type for the rest of your life what would it be?
JG: One food type – uh – that’s rough – I don’t know. Like a good roast chicken I think. If its don’t right. Not bones or chicken that is grilled to death.
AGS: If your life had a theme song what would it be?
JG: I am getting a lot of music oriented questions. Lets see – I don’t know.
AGS: Okay I’ll change the question. If your life was a sitcom what would the title be? JG: The challenges of doing nothing
AGS: Did your friends know what Brandeis was when you decided to come here?
JG: No. they thought I was going to some like community school. They were like oh great you’re furthering your education. But I don’t really care that much.
AGS: Favorite movie
JG: Life Aquatic with Bill Murray
AGS: What is your favorite article of clothing that you own?
JG: My favorite article of clothing – my dad had this super old button down that he wore when he was in college. It looks totally 80s – a lot of neon. I have yet to break it out at Brandeis. It’s a little much.
AGS: Do you have any big plans for break?
JG: I am actually going to Cuba with my friends.
AGS: So were allowed to go to Cuba now?
JG: We actually have to drive to Montreal first. And turn our American dollars into Canadian dollars.
AGS: What is the motto you live by?
JG: I think people should take a step back and look at the big picture and try to make themselves happy.
AGS: What is your favorite cookie?
JG: My favorite cookie. Mexican wedding cookie.
AGS: What is that? JG: Its dipped in powdered sugar and it has almonds in it and it is shaped like a half moon. [No chocolate or peanut butter? I must admit I am un peux skeptical]
AGS: I cant live without….
JG: I can’t live without my family
AGS: What do you like on your Einstein’s bagel?
JG: On my Einstein’s bagel – this is gonna sound so lame I usually get light cream cheese or peanut butter. I’m not into the flavors.
I would love to thank Jared for being a great interviewee and you Brandeisians for nominating him! Without you [Andrew Lent], there wouldn’t be a campus cutie.
