The Basics

Name: Jimmy Marion
Hometown: Birmingham, AL
Year: Sophomore
Major(s): Business Management
Astrological sign: Gemini
Relationship status: Taken

Jimmy isn’t short, he is fun-sized! This cutie wants to take his girlfriend to Paris (how sweet!) and claims that big things do come in small packages! 

HC: What are your hobbies and interests?
JM: I’m very interested in UAB Athletics. I’m also a proud member of the Eta Psi colony of Theta Chi on campus. I enjoy playing basketball, working out, and partying with my brothers.

HC: What do you look for in a girl?
JM: If I was looking for a girl she would need to be outgoing and intelligent. And let’s be real for a second, she would need to be shorter than me.

HC: With that being said, who’s your “dream girl”?
JM: Mila Kunis.

HC: Where’s your favorite place to go out around UAB?
JM: My favorite club to go to is Baachus. Every time I’ve went there I’ve had a good time, even when a drug deal goes bad and someone gets a knife pulled out on them.

HC: If you had unlimited time and funds, where would you take your girl on a date?
JM: Paris, France – because my girlfriend says so.

HC: So, we’re featuring a cutie who’s 5’6 and under and a cutie who’s 6’5 and over…is it true that big things really come in small packages? Why do you think bigger isn’t always “better”?
JM: Well clearly, short guys are far more attractive. And yes, it’s true that big things really come in small packages.

HC: Anything else we should know?

JM: Even though I’m short, I’m kind of a big deal.
