What do you look for in a girl?
A pretty face goes a long way for me. I like girls that look happy and healthy. I like someone who likes to have fun, especially outdoors. She should also be smart and have her own goals and aspirations.
What’s the first thing you notice about a girl?
First thing is probably her hair, followed by her smile, followed by her eyes.
Where would you take a girl on a first date in College Park?
I’d take her to Noodles, or maybe Ledo’s, and go for a walk around campus afterward.
Best UMD Memories:
Storming the court after the Virginia game, swimming in ODK fountain, and giving my first campus tour.
Best piece of life advice?
Don’t sweat the small things and stay focused on the big picture. Always work hard, do the things that make you happy and make sure you let the people in your life know how much they mean to you.
