Favorite quote: “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done? Spring Break 2012 in South Padre Island, Texas
Turn ons: A great sense of humor, optimism, confidence, intelligence, blue eyes, pretty smiles, athletic girls, good singers/dancers, girls in snapback hats J
Turn offs: Bad attitudes, flakiness, indecisiveness, girls who talk badly about their friends/other girls all the time, being untrusting, being jealous all the time
One thing a girl can do that makes you weak in the knees: When a girl holds eye contact, smiles a lot and laughs at all my jokes. Or when I see a girl “dressed down” with her hair up and sweats on looking as beautiful as ever.
Who’s your celebrity crush and why? My most current celebrity crush is Kacey Musgraves. She’s (obviously) gorgeous and there’s just something about her voice.
What drives you? My passion to become as great of an all-around person as my Grandpa Jimmy was. I would be happy if I end up being even half the man he was.
Favorite way to wind down your busy days? My favorite way to wind down from pretty much any day is to have a sit-down dinner and just talk with the people I love.
Describe your dream girl in 3 words: Goofy, honest, spontaneous
What’s one thing you wish more girls would do? Quit constantly comparing yourself to other girls. If a guy likes you, it’s because YOU are who YOU are. Realize that and run with it!
What’s your best quality? Worst? Best: I’m friendly and can get along with pretty much anyone I meet. Worst: I’m pretty oblivious to when girls are interested in me. I have this stupid assumption that girls are just being nice the majority of the time.
Dream job: Physical therapist (unsure of what setting)
Favorite spot on campus: Allen Fieldhouse, duh.
Would you rather have your crush date your best friend or your worst enemy? My best friend. If I don’t get to have her, at least I know she is with a good person and being appreciated.
Favorite store: Dick’s Sporting Goods
Current song you have on repeat: Cop Car – Keith Urban or anything Florida Georgia Line
Any secret talents? I am really good at making ugly faces. No really, ask any of my Snapchat friends. And I can walk on my hands!
Favorite bar in Lawrence: Tonic, Sandbar, or The Ranch
What’s your guilty pleasure? Old Taylor Swift music – the country stuff
You have 1 hour to pack your suitcase and jet set to any place in the world. You can take one person with you. What do you pack, who do you take and where do you go? I would call up as many members of my family as time would allow (then tell them to start a phone tree to the rest of the family). We would board the jet to Belize with as little clothing as possible (we’re going to the beach, duh!). Packing room would be saved for food, beverages and souvenirs. My cousin had his wedding in Belize in the summer of 2010 and it was one of the greatest experiences of my life. I would love to relive it with all of my ridiculously large family by my side.
Most valuable lesson college has taught you: Don’t take life too seriously. Study hard and get good grades, but don’t let school completely consume your life. Take the time to enjoy your friends’ company and appreciate every moment, even when it seems like things can’t get any more stressful. Don’t let life get in the way of living. In the great words of Darius Rucker, “This phase is gonna fly by, if you can just hold on. It won’t be like this for long.” (Can you tell I like country music yet?)
One pick-up line you’ve used on a girl that’s actually worked: “You have a REALLY pretty smile.”
First thing you notice about a girl: Her smile (Sorry, this is getting repetitive) & how she carries herself.
Tell me the most romantic thing you’ve done for a girl: This one is tough… but I really love to go stargazing. Is that romantic?
Most romantic thing a girl’s done for you? Surprising me by showing up to my state basketball game. (It was a long-distance relationship.)
Best piece of advice you could give to aspiring campus cuties: Smile, ya never know who’s looking.
1 thing you have to do before you die: Learn to play the guitar really well.
Why do you think you’re a catch? Just take my word for it!
