Name: Scott Russell Scheff

Year: Senior

Majors: Psychology and Bible
 
Hometown: Orangeburg, NY
 
On Campus Activities: I am an active member in Alpha Epsilon Pi and I really enjoy participating in intramural sports. 
 
Off Campus Activities: Because I am interested in a possible career in education, my main off campus activities include tutoring and working as a student life intern at my old high school in Hartsdale, NY. I’m also in a basketball league that plays in Chelsea Piers on Sunday nights so that’s fun too!
 
Biggest Turn On: I’d have to say that it’s definitely a combination of a few things, physical and emotional. The first thing would have to be one of those smiles that says, “I like you and I’m interested, but at the same time I’m a little anxious and I’m trying to hold back a little bit.” Gets me every time. In terms of an emotional turn on, this would be when a girl is obviously so great and everybody knows it, but when you complement her she always deflects and refuses to just say thank you. Sometimes she’ll even deny your complements completely. It’s a flattered sense of modesty if that makes any sense. Wow that was a long answer…It’s a complicated question!
 
Qualities You Look for in a Girl: Honesty, thoughtfulness, modesty, and a goofy sense of humor.
 
 3 things you’d want with you on a deserted island: One of those Leatherman multi-tool thingies, duct tape, and an encyclopedia. I’d say that all three of those things would be essential for survival. 
 
Biggest Pet Peeve: When people claim to hate Superman because he’s too perfect. I just don’t think people understand how complicated a character he actually is. 
 
Most Embarrassing Moment: The summer before 10th grade I was at a water-park standing on line to go on one of two slides. I turned to my friends and said, “let’s go on the green one.” Literally everybody in the line starting laughing at me. Apparently the slide was yellow. Colorblind people need a break sometimes.
 
Best Advice You’ve Ever Received: It’s not about making the right decision, it’s about making the decision right. Courtesy of my grandfather.
 
Celeb Crush: Mila Kunis. Undoubtedly. 
 
Song you would use to serenade a girl : I have a soft spot for Disney music, obviously making this question tough to answer. I’m going to sneak in two songs: “A Whole New World” and “Can You Feel the Love Tonight?”
