You’re graduating this year, was MC everything you thought it would be?
Yeah I knew coming in that it was gunna be a small school, not too crazy of a night life, but I loved the small class sizes and everyone here is so friendly. It’s so easy to make friends and talk to people. But I did think it was gunna be a little bit more fun, not River City every night.
What has been your best memory of MC?
Probably senior year, taking advantage of everything you do and realizing that everything you do is coming to an end soon. Oh, and also Hurricane Sandy when we were locked in the dorms for like a week. But yeah senior year everyone just kind of comes together and I like that.
Tell me about your experience with Greek life.
I’m in DKE and I’ve been in it for almost two years now. I pledged when I was a sophomore, we used to have a house and that was amazing. We got to know everyone so easily, we would just hangout and talk for hours on hours. Now we’re involved more on campus, its slowed down a bit on the fun end of things, we don’t do many things that you think most fraternities would do, like throw parties and rage, I guess? But now we’re focusing on the future and were we want to get to.
What would your perfect date be?
My perfect date would be…well go out to dinner? Is that lame? If I was home I would drive and meet her parents, but here we would meet up and go out to dinner and then maybe do something fun like bowling…something where you could see the other person having fun! Is that lame? Is a flower weird on a first date? Also I don’t kiss on the first date…leave her wanting more. *winky face
What qualities do you look for in a girl?
She has to be smart and able to hold a conversation, you want her to be able to talk to your parents and not have them think “talking to her is like talking to a wall”. Also, a cute face! Oh and she has to have a good sense of humor, even if I’m not funny she has to laugh at my jokes.
Who is your man crush?
Ryan Gosling and then Cristiano Ronaldo and Ryan Reynolds
Favorite show on Netflix?
I never get into series but I watched Breaking Bad in like a ridiculously short amount of time, like it was disturbing how much I watched it.
