Name: Erik Wessel
Age: 21
Year at NU: 4th year
Major: Sociology, Business Minor
Hometown: Newtown, CT / Sarasota, FL
Relationship status: Single

Motto / Words to live by: Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

What I’m involved in at NU: Northeastern Men’s Rowing Team (any free time is spent sleeping)

Where you can find me on the weekends: Training on the river Saturday mornings, outside activities if the weather’s nice, or logging long hours of team bonding in Stetson East.

Guilty pleasure: Ignoring my phone and reading a solid book.
Biggest turn on: Someone who can not only take a joke, but make a better one back.
Biggest turn off: A girl who can’t hold conversation.

My favorite spot in Boston: The banks of the Charles River

5 things every Northeastern student should have on their Boston bucket list:

  1. Get out on the Charles: Duck Tours, kayak, etc.
  2. Run the Boston Marathon
  3. Find and beat the one-arm pushup man
  4. See a Red Sox game at Fenway
  5. Eat at the Top of the Hub
