Collegiettes all over TCNJ might have a hard time going on a date with this week’s Campus Cutie Chad Simpkins, but only because his hair is guaranteed to look better than yours! This chemistry major’s golden locks are famous on campus (his hair has his own facebook!), but don’t be to too star-struck, ladies. His outgoing nature and work ethic keeps him grounded. Incentive to hit the books this weekend: We hear Simpkins can be found on the fourth floor of the library. Now don’t you have some studying to do?

If you could fly anywhere where would it be? Australia, I’d love to go scuba diving there. Italy wouldn’t be a bad choice either to put all my years of Italian to some good use.
