Campus Cutie Daniel Matos

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

Crooked smile, glasses, beard…what more could you ask for? This guy has a killer sense of humor and can light up a room as soon as he enters it. With his contagious optimism, he makes you want to smile all day, but don’t get it twisted…he’s a smarty pants too. If you read Positive Musa’s article you have an idea who this cutie is. If you are from ADMI you have seen him around but, what’s hiding behind that shy smile? Let’s find out! 

Name: Daniel Matos González

Age: 20

Major: Finance

Relationship Status: Single

Hometown: Trujillo Alto

Favorite food: Pepperoni pizza from Juan Pan

1. HCUPR: What are some of your hobbies?

Daniel: I love surfing, there is nothing like being out in the ocean, under the sun, catching waves. When you surf, you get a worry free moment from everything and anything that is troubling you. You leave it all on the shore when you are paddling out.

2. HCUPR: At what age did you learn to surf?

Daniel: I started surfing just a few years back, when I was 17.

3. HCUPR: A little bird told me you are leaving to Spain in January, what places are you planning to visit?

Daniel: I’m really looking forward to visitng Ireland, Italy, Amsterdam, Prague and Ibiza. I have a friend who came back from doing a semester over there and he has filled my head with all of his crazy stories so I’m looking forward to having some of my own when I get back.

4. HCUPR: Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Daniel: Hopefully with an MBA, running my family’s business as well as my own.

5. HCUPR: We know you are part of Positive Musa. How do you link this with your major?

Daniel: I have been able to use many of the things I have learned along my college career in order to keep Positive Musa moving forward. From what I’ve learned in my finance classes to the resources I have gotten in my marketing classes, there has been a use for it all.

6. HCUPR: Now, let’s talk about the ladies. What do you look for in a girl?

Daniel: I get attracted to girls who share my same mentality of never being bored and stuck in one place. I love going to new places and taking part in new life experiences so I really value a girl who I can do that with. She has to be easygoing and it would be a plus if she laughs at the dumb things I do. 

7. HCUPR: What’s a deal breaker?

Daniel: If she’s an airhead, that just ruins for me. Also, she has to be able to laugh at life and not be strict or hard headed all the time.

8. HCUPR: Finally, what is your favorite beach in Puerto Rico?

Daniel: I’d have to say that my favorite beach in Puerto Rico is Palominito Island. The calmness in that little island and the turquoise water is breathtaking.
