Name: Daniel John Grennon
Year: Senior (Congrats!)
Major: Psychotherapy
Hometown: Albany, NY
Relationship Status: Single
HC: Hey, Dan, can I call you Dan the Man? No? Okay. So, why did you choose MC?
Daniel: I came from a small catholic military school. Manhattan seemed like a good fit because of its small, tight-nit community. Plus, I love the city.
HC: Favorite moment at MC?
Daniel: All in all, it’s been a blast. My freshman and sophomore years were a complete shit-show. Junior and senior year I’ve really taken the time to further myself and my career goals.
HC: Favorite class taken at MC?
Daniel: My favorite class has got to be Psychotherapy with Professor Rivera. That class for me was the breaking point at which I realized I really wanted to be in this field and pursue my P.H.D.
HC: Wow, nice muscles ya got there… Lets talk gym!
Daniel: Haha, well I started off lifting when I was fifteen to gain weight after being diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. Ever since then it has become a mixture of a passion and an addiction.
HC: So, word on the street is you’re soon to become a famous movie star…
Daniel: Haha, not exactly. My roommate and good friend, Lake, is doing a small film project on me. It basically encompasses how I deal with my disease, while still driving myself to workout and progress myself as much as possible.
HC: If you could have only one person at your graduation, who would it be and why?
Daniel: Definitely my mom. The amount she is there for me, along with being my best friend, is something I cherish.
HC: Favorite movie?
Daniel: Gladiator. “Are you not entertained?!”
HC: What would you say is your biggest pet peeve?
Daniel: I’m an extremely straight forward person, so I feel like when people don’t respond the same, it bothers me.
HC: Dream job?
Daniel: I was pretty obsessed with the show Criminal Minds for awhile. I want to be a Criminal Analyst, not a serial killer.
HC: What do you look for in a girl?
Daniel: I feel like I am a very apathetic person. If you hold my attention I’ll definitely try and build on it. Personality is definitely a must. You can be the most gorgeous girl I’ve ever met, if I get bored talking to you or we have nothing in common it just isn’t going to work.
HC: Ideal date?
Daniel: I’m really into trying new foods, especially different Sushi places. There are some amazing places in New York City, if you know where to go. I feel like dinner dates are something scarcely done anymore, and can easily tell whether you relate and can converse well with one another.
HC: After graduation plans?
Daniel: I was recently accepted in Presbyterian Hospital’s pre-career program. I’ll be working hands on with acute schizophrenics. It’s exciting and scary, but it’s exactly what I need to take me further in the field.
Congrats, Dan! Best of luck out in the real world.
