HC: Why Pitt?
Sim: I fell in love with the urban atmosphere that still had some greenery. It’s a good transition from Lancaster. And it’s the furthest from home, while still paying in-state tuition.
HC: How would you describe yourself in five words?
Sim: Honest, easygoing, “out of the box”, dedicated and motivated.
HC: What is your favorite TV show?
Sim: Dexter
HC: Why?
Sim: The plot is awesome and keeps me hanging on the edge of my seat. And I love that Dexter is the bad guy you have to love. It’s like nothing else on TV.
HC: What are your hobbies?
Sim: Well, I’m big into fitness and I’m an officer of the Exercise science program, which is great because we have a lot of fun and promote health life styles. I like creative writing too and social media networks/technology in general. Also, I love trying new things even though they may scare me. In the end I’m happy I did it (most of the time) :smiles:.
HC: What do you look for in a girl?
Sim: A girl that is easygoing, knows how to make me laugh and is genuine.
HC: Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
Sim: Geez 10 years, that means I’ll be 31…. well I guess I’m hoping to have a little bit of a family by then or at least be married. But right now I’m focused on grad school. It’s hard to balance that hurdle with too many future goals.
