Meet this week’s Campus Cutie, junior Daniel Burns! We are lucky we caught him in-between writing articles for The College Voice, eating Krispy Kreme doughnuts, and heading off to Vietnam for spring semester! Not only is he a lover of Rom Coms, but his best friend is his six-year-old sister. Come on what could be cuter? Read on to find out Daniel’s favorite foods, books, and more.

Celeb Crush: Anna Kendrick. She’s a cutie.
What qualities do you look for in a significant other? Girls who are intelligent and quirky really stick out to me. Also, a great smile and eyes will do me in.
Describe your ideal date: Haha…I would have to say I would love to tailgate and go to a Washington Redskins game with her. If we’re talking about a New Lo area date, I’d have to say a nice hike in the woods, followed by dinner and intriguing conversation at Olio, possibly (more like definitely) hitting up Michael’s Dairy afterwards, and finishing up with a movie in my/her room.
Favorite Book: I just casually read The Quiet American by Graham Green, and I have to say that it is probably one of my favorite books that I have read in the past few years.

Place You Most Want to Travel to: Vietnam. I’ll knock that off the bucket list in the spring when I go over with Professor Frasure and Professor Peppard for SATA Vietnam.
Fun Fact: My best friend is my 6-year-old sister. She’s probably one of the coolest kids ever. I make sure to call her 3-4 times a week, and we’ll just talk about school and life.
How do you feel about being Campus Cutie? It is an honor to have such a prestigious title bestowed upon me. I just finished adding it to my résumé.
