Idea of the perfect date: Connor’s idea of a perfect date would be something simple – dinner at her favorite restaurant followed by a walk or coffee. He’s a classic kind of guy that’s down for that “cliché romantic date stuff”.

Something Most People Don’t Know About You: “I ‘air drum’ to the sound of a guitar rather than ‘air guitar’, but I know that’s weird and people don’t get it, so I’ll just say I listen to screamo music. It’s not indicative of my appearance at all.”

“I hate dressing like a slob.”

“I’ve never had coffee…in any shape or form. Hot chocolate all the way.”

3 Qualities of Your Dream Girl – or 3 Qualities Your Girlfriend Has That You Like:  – like-mindedness “she just gets me”, she’s well dressed and cares about her appearance and she’s not out to impress anyone.

Favorite Ice Cream Flavor: “Death by Chocolate from Penn State Creamery…it’s just A LOT of chocolate.”

Do You Play Sports: (If Yes, Which Sports?) “I ran track and played soccer throughout high school. Now I play intramural and pick-up soccer on campus.”

Favorite Thing About Ship: “I’m away from my parents, which puts me out of my comfort zone. Also, the friendships I’ve made have really made my experience what it is. There’s not one thing about this specific school that makes it stand out to me, it’s all what I’ve made it…and Phi Sigma Pi…not to advertise or anything.”

Favorite Band or Artist: SoMa

Favorite Place You’ve Visited: “Washington, D.C. was the bee’s knees. I went for National Convention for my fraternity this past summer.”

Chick Flicks or Horror Movie: Chick Flicks… “About Time” is his favorite.

Big Spoon or Little Spoon: “I’m just more comfortable when I’m little spoon. Isn’t that just sexual stereotyping that I have to be the big spoon? I don’t want to feel gender-locked!”

Biggest Pet Peeve: “When people ask me about being color blind.”

Biggest Fear: “I could care less about dying alone, but I’m really afraid of heights or just being limited by time, like being told I have a month to live.”

Secret Crush: “Natalie Dormer from Game of Thrones. She shaved her head and she’s still hot.”

Favorite TV Show: “Game of Thrones”

Dogs or Cats: “Dogs…but I don’t really like pets, so…”

Favorite Class: “Art Appreciation with Prof. Moilanen. He didn’t really teach so that we could learn a subject, but he was just more concerned about us becoming well-rounded individuals and he was able to do that through teaching us art.”

Nike or Adidas: Nike
