Campus Cuties: Then and Now

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UFL chapter.

It’s safe to say that the past Campus Cuties have been very entertaining, but these interviews beg the question: Where are the past Campus Cuties now? Here’s some insight on this lucky two-time Campus Cutie.

Name: Hakeem WhiteAge: 20Year: juniorMajor: nutrition/dieteticsHometown: Ft. Lauderdale, FLRelationship Status: “Single… like really single. Basically, feel free to slide into my DMs.”Are you involved in any clubs or organizations? “Florida Cicerones, FLC Mentor, UAA Spirit Squad, and I work as a personal trainer”

Hobbies:Then: “Working out, reading nutrition articles, reading interesting science. I like making smoothies, and I really like being lazy; I’m a big napper, to the point it’s affecting my bodily routines, so I’m trying to not nap as much.”Now: “Surfing, skateboarding and Snapchatting… like, I can kill a Snapchat story. Add me on Snapchat @Hahakeem.”

Favorite quoteThen: “I’m not really a quote guy. I’m more like if I see it, I like it, but I don’t really live by it.”Now: “You miss 100 percent of the shots you don’t take.” – Wayne Gretzky

If you could have any superpower, what would it be?Then: “Time travel because I’m always curious about things, and I want to be able to see the past or the future. I think it would solve a lot of questions.”Now: “The ability to go on an all expense-paid trip whenever I want.”

What is one of your most embarrassing moments on campus?Then: “I was in the dining hall one day and I saw this girl I always see, and I was like, ‘Okay I’ll eventually talk to her.’ I was walking by and felt like she knew me as well because we always exchanged eye contact; so one day I went up to her and said hi and introduced myself and was like ‘We always share awkward eye glances.’ And she was like, ‘Um, I don’t think I’ve ever seen you before.” It was so embarrassing, but it kind of worked out because we’re friends now.”Now: “I don’t get embarrassed.”

What would your ideal girl be like?Then: “If I could be a complete guy right now, she would have long brunette or blond hair, really attractive, perfect teeth, and nice body, and a good personality, and preferably Spanish.”Now: “Fitness oriented, teeth on point, attractive, able to handle my weird personality, fun personality, slightly sassy, nurturing, knows how to cook, not afraid of commitment, and she has to love peanut butter.”

What fashion trend don’t you like about girls?Then: “I don’t like the overcapacity of tights going on at UF. Switch it up. I prefer a nice sundress. Tights are really misleading because they hold everything together and make it look perfect when it’s not. Tights tend to trick us.”Now: “When girls wear tights but got no booty. Just don’t do it.”

What piece of advice would you give girls about guys?Then: “We’re really simple. Nothing needs to be too intricate. Don’t overcomplicate things. If you like us, make sure to let us know. Give us some hints and clues along the way. No games!”Now: “If you don’t like us, tell us. We won’t be mad at you. Don’t all of the sudden just stop texting us in the middle of things because you don’t like us.”

What was your reaction when asked to be Campus Cutie?Then: “I was really flattered. I was trying to figure out: How does this happen? But it’s really flattering to be Campus Cutie. It’s really exciting as well. I like answering questions about me and girls.”Now: “10 percent humbled, 50 percent surprised and 40 percent this is cool that I’ve been Campus Cutie twice now.”
