Dan Demarest ’13

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Pitt chapter.

Dan Demarest
Ladies, if you feel like you have the worst luck in meeting descent guys, let me turn your head in another direction, Dan Demarest. A Bill Murray and Breaking Bad fan (score!) Dan graciously allowed me to rattle his brain for you ladies. So, why was he chosen? Dan is sweet, easy going, and funny. It’s no wonder why he is this week’s campus cutie. But don’t take my word for it, read for yourself.
 
Hometown: Hershey, Pennsylvania
Major: Communication Science and Disorders (Cha Ching)
Year: Junior

How did you pick your major?
Pretty simple I guess. A friend told me about it. There was no big epiphany.

Now that you have taken a few of the classes, are you leaning towards Speech Pathology or Audiology?
I’m leaning more towards Audiology.  It’s probably because I’m so burned out with midterms for Speech. (Can’t argue with him there)

Every time I see you, you have your headphones in, so what is the first song that pops up on your iPod?
Dan: I like hipster music. (Pulls out his iPod and turns it on)
Down Like Me, by Peter Bjorn and John.
Me: I love Young Folks
Dan: Yeah, they’re awesome. I saw them in concert in Philadelphia. I stayed after and got to meet them.

Favorite TV Show on Currently?
Community
Me: Is there any particular reason?
It’s funny and I love Donald Glover.
Me: Have you ever seen him on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson?
Ha, yeah, I like when they do the tweets together.

Favorite Movie
Life Aquatic. I used to hate it, but now I like it. (Rent it)

If you could travel anywhere right now, where would you go?
I don’t know. I have never traveled abroad before. I guess, London.
Me: Ooh, that’s a good one
Yea, however, it’s a great insult to my Irish ancestors.

Perfect Meal?
Umm, I love food. Roast Beef sandwich with gravy
That sounds really good right now.

Best memory at Pitt with your friends so far?
Ponders for a second. I don’t know, that is hard one. Too many, to pick.
Me: Fair enough

Celebrity you could spend the day with?
I would just really like to hang out with Bill Murray.

A Girl Celebrity?
Michelle Monaghan

Why her?
She seems nice in all her movies.

Turn –Offs
Having an ego and being rude to servers.

Turn-Ons
Must be kind and someone who reads.
Me: That is a good one.
No one reads anymore and they’re proud of it!
To be fair, I haven’t read much this semester.
Me: Perfectly understandable, we have been so burned out this semester. (CSD and all other majors, you know what I’m talking about.)

Perfect Date
I don’t know. My idea would be to relax and watch an 80’s horror movie.
Me: (While I’m laughing) Some guys would say a candle light dinner.
Candlelight? That’s weird. Maybe for a special occasion, like an anniversary, but not for a date.
Me: I’m glad you’re not a cliché then.
 
 Now that you have gotten a bit of insight to Mr. Demarest, make sure to look out for him on campus.
