Saving lives at the hospital by day, and serenading crowds by night, this week’s Campus Cutie has the charm to sweep any girl off her feet. A truly modern Renaissance man-with a sweet demeanor and a generous heart- Ladies, say hello, or should I say Yasou, to Demetri!

Hometown: South Brunswick, NJ
Grade: Junior
Age: 21
Major: Nursing
Campus Involvement: Ambassadors, Trentones, Hellenic Society, Student Nursing Association, Phi Alpha Delta Fraternity
Fun Fact: I can speak Greek. My brother and I collect instruments, so far the collection contains about 7 or 8 instruments, with the most interesting instruments being the kalimba and the zen tambur.
Hidden Talents: Greek dancer, tongue whistler, professional charmer.
Favorite Bands: Mumford and Sons, Good Old War, Zedd, Jason Mraz
Favorite Quote: My grandfather used to say it to me in Greek, but in English it translates to “the first100 years of your life are rough, Demetri.” I didn’t really get it at first, but it’s like a morbid joke that your life will never be easy.
Favorite TCNJ memory: My first Trentones concert-performing with new friends for new friends was really exciting, and Welcome Week with T1, because I still have those friends today.
Pet Peeve: General rudeness, the whole genre of being inconsiderate is annoying. I like when people say “hi” when they walk past you and when they hold the door for you. Plastic wrap-when plastic wrap touches itself and makes that squeaking sound- it freaks me out.
Celebrity Crush: Emma Watson
Traits you’re looking for in a girl: Humor, she’s got to make me laugh as much as I make her laugh. Ambition. A quirk. If you’re too normal I get bored really easily.
Turn Offs: Laziness, lack of ambition, being too self-absorbed or too gossipy.
Dream date/ideal first date: I kind of like when things go wrong a little, when things don’t go as planned, it’s usually more memorable that way. I also like city dates.
Cutest thing a girl could do for you: Somehow surprise me by indulging one of my weird interests, like bringing me to a museum. Doing something that normal people might not enjoy doing but that she knows I would like to do.
Relationship Status: Wouldn’t you like to know?
Any fun plans over winter break? I’ll probably be working a lot. We host Christmas every year and I’m excited to see my cousins, we have a big family.
Any holiday traditions? My family really likes The Grinch, the Jim Carrey one; we quote it throughout the year, so we’ll probably watch that one.
