What do you like to do in your free time?
- Spend way too much on concerts at House of Blues and the Pavilion
- Make excellent use of my Netflix account (Mad Men and Dawson’s Creek are my go-to’s)
- Walk to the incredible thrift stores in Cambridge
What are you involved in around campus?
I serve on the E-Board of NUPRSSA (Northeastern’s Public Relations Organization) and IDEA (Northeastern’s Venture Accelerator). Most importantly, I’m a member of the reigning champion broomball team, “Nah, Off Campus”. It’s fair to say we take it pretty seriously.
Celebrity Crush:
Chris Paul – One of the few people attractive enough to make me seriously consider becoming a Clippers fan. Also if you don’t already follow his son’s Instagram account (@littlechrisp), stop whatever you’re doing and get on that. I promise it won’t disappoint.
Favorite place in Boston:
The North End – where else can you enjoy a five-star Italian meal, world famous cannoli, and a Celtics game all in one night?
Guilty Pleasure:
Froyo, froyo, froyo. If I told you I didn’t have 9 different rewards cards in my wallet at this very moment, I’d be lying. And I don’t want to lie to you.
Favorites:
- Band/Artist: Something different everyday – from Coldplay to Jay-Z to Miranda Lambert
- Song: ‘Round Here by Counting Crows
- Movie: Love Actually – I’ve watched this with my friends every Christmas for the past ten years and haven’t gotten sick of it yet, so I doubt I ever will!
- Sports Team: Red Sox
- Book: The Things They Carried
What are 5 things every Northeastern student should do?
- Watch a Red Sox game from Cask & Flagon – watching one from Fenway goes without saying, but the atmosphere here is unreal, especially during the playoffs
- Have dinner at the Top of the Hub (Translation: be taken out to dinner at the Top of the Hub)
- Play an intramural sport (And if you’re lucky enough to win a championship, go to Conor’s afterwards in your “Intramural Champ” t-shirts)
- Order a Bello Bello from Rebecca’s with chicken and no mushrooms. I realize it kind of defeats the purpose of the name, but giant fungus skeeves me out…call me crazy
- Even if it means drilling a hole in your closet wall (not to call out any specific Mass Ave residents), find a way to get onto your roof for late night postgames – it’s worth it
