HC: How do you feel about being Campus Cutie?
PC: Well considering I asked to be one I’m not really surprised. I’ve been told I’m pretty persuasive.
HC: What do you look for in a girl?
PC: Someone who makes me smile every time I see them. And someone I can call my best friend.
HC: What’s your idea of the perfect date in Geneva?
PC: A simple dinner at Port’s and then back to campus to cap it off with a nice Rom-Com. Preferably a Ryan Gosling feature for some eye candy for both of us.
HC: What’s the worst date you’ve ever been on?
PC: We went to see Les Mis and I fell asleep three times and when I woke up I asked what day it was and why they were speaking French…she just got up and left. I drove her there so I don’t even know how she got home so overall this turned out to be a safety issue.
HC: What’s something interesting that most people don’t know about you?
PC: I can hold my breath for 93 seconds. I can do great impersonations. I also take more selfies than my girlfriend.
HC: Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
PC: At a settled job with a wife and kids in or around my hometown.
HC: Who is your role model? Why?
PC: My mom, I’ve always admired the way she can talk to anyone no matter who they are or how long she has known them. She’s just a beautiful person. She also runs marathons and that’s something I could never do.
HC: Do you have any summer plans?
PC: I’m an athletic director at a camp but I will still make time to catch some rays with my friends.
HC: What do you want to accomplish by the time you graduate?
PC: I want to make it on TWIP and get at least 100 likes on an Instagram. Follow me @paulsohard17
HC: What do you want to be remembered for at HWS?
PC: Just being a lovable guy and known on the weekends as Bill Simmons.
