Her Campus CAU: What’s your current relationship status?
Thrasher: I’m single! I’ve met the woman of my dreams, but just because someone is made for you doesn’t mean you’re made for them and just because two people love each other doesn’t mean they belong together. Who knows maybe one day in the near future we’ll link back up, or maybe we won’t.
Her Campus CAU: What about your turn ons and turn offs?
Thrasher: Turn on’s- Intelligence, open-mindedness, beautiful eyes, beautiful lips, a beautiful smile and a beautiful soul. Turn offs- Idiocy, close-mindedness, and cigarette smoking.
Her Campus CAU: What would you consider your dream job?
Thrasher: I aspire to become an International Lawyer.
Her Campus CAU: Dream date?
Thrasher: Now I’m not wealthy yet but this is how a dream date with my dream woman will go when I get there. First I’ll pull up on her around 9 am and surprise her with some breakfast. After she eats, she’ll get dressed and I’ll take her out shopping somewhere. I’ll make sure she gets whatever she wants, next we’ll probably grab a quick lunch at her favorite spot, maybe even grab some ice cream. Once our bellies are full we’ll head downtown to see a play. After the plays over I’ll take her home real quick and let her change into her new outfit. When she’s dressed we’ll catch a 8 o’clock movie at the local theater, then head to a nice little jazz club where we can listen to some good music and grab some dinner. By that time it’ll be around midnight so it would be up to her what we do next.
Her Campus CAU: What is at the top of your bucket list?
Thrasher: I want to touchdown on all 7 continents on Earth before I kick the bucket, Antarctica included.
Her Campus CAU: Who inspires you?
Thrasher: My mother inspires me, she isn’t just my mom she’s my advisor. I’m not perfect and I make mistakes all the time but I know that my mom will always be there supporting me and offering wisdom along the way. She Is my driving force, the fire that ignites the engine that keeps me moving when I want to give up and the main reason I’ve made it this far.
Her Campus CAU: Tell us something no one knows about.
Thrasher: I have a ring that was given to me by someone very special to me. Even though it wasn’t theirs to give, the ring reminds me of good times, but also why we aren’t together and makes me want to become a better man. If it’s not on my pinky when I leave the house I panic, kind of sad but there you go.
Her Campus CAU: Short term goals?
Thrasher: To graduate of course and either get accepted to the University of Chicago or get job working as a Legal assistant.

Her Campus CAU: Explain your IG bio. “Live towards death and embrace it.”
Thrasher: Throughout my studies I learned that often times we don’t live our lives to the fullest because we are preoccupied with the occult or the unknown. When I stopped fearing death, how I was I gonna die, when I was going to die, I started to live life to the fullest. Instead of living a life so obsessed with attaining immortality or remaining young forever I embrace the fact that I can die at any moment. Im not afraid to die, I live to die.
Her Campus would like to thank Donte’ Thrasher for letting us get to know him a little more. We enjoyed interviewing you!
